re: For $10 mils, would you drive from Baton Rouge to Atlanta and back for 90 straight days?

How much of hardcore history could you make it thru in that amount of time?

Could I use my Tesla autopilot?

It’s 19.5 hours with no traffic including the charging required for the long range 3. 90 days of at minimum 19.5 hours and realistically in the 20s with traffic factored in means even if you would get fricked. Not realistic in the Tesla currently.

Maybe use your Tesla to actually check the gps first to see what it would take to do it.

Truck drivers do this every day for about $350 after expenses.

Edit: they don’t have the legal hours now with the e Log restrictions but still.

Is lunch and dinner provided?

I would hope I could at least get a $25,000 per diem out the start for expenses. And hell... take it out of my final check..


Edit: OR NOT... If they’re cool with that.

I haven’t read all the replies but I’d bet money 99% would fail if they had to do around the speed limit for the mileage. I wouldn’t be able to drive for 16 hrs a day for 90 days straight and I’m an otr truck driver.

Now if you could average around 100mph and reduce some of your hrs so you could actually rest then maybe it becomes feasible.

frick no. Besides the fact that I really don't like driving, and I really only do it because I have no other choice, I don't see a way that this is actually physically even possible.

I'd wager that over 99% of people who attempted would absolutely fail this challenge, no matter how hard they tried. A few people with not only the right motivation, but with a good method and a solid plan in place could complete it.

Not to mention many days it would not be a 16 hour ride. Take into account traffic, wrecks, bathroom breaks, hunger breaks, etc. Taking a random nap on the side of the road because you're so exhausted. Or hell, if you're taking all these trips you are likely carrying some sort of supplies or product. It will take time to load/unload this. So now, What was actually a 16 hour ride will easily turn into a 19, 20, 21 and hell the occasional 22 hour ride real fast. We can all get up and work our full shift at our job only on 5 hours of sleep. For many people that is their normal pattern. Trying to operate at 2 or 3 hours is not nearly as easy.

Eventually your body will break down, and you're going to have to stop to take what you think is a quick nap, next thing you know you have been sleep for 9 hours. You have completely missed your deadline, and there is now no feasible way to make up all the missed time and miles.

Or if you never actually take that needed nap by pulling over, eventually you get into a high speed wreck. If you survive, your boss or whoever youre working for won't be happy for wrecking the vehicle, the product, and missing deadlines. If you die, well you die, and you still don't get the money.

This looks like a job a meth head would conquer easily

Baton Rouge to Atlanta has a drive time of 7hrs 46 minutes (526) miles according to Mapquest.

Would you, if offered $10 million, be able to make a round trip BR to ATL driving trip for 90 straight days?

That's essentially 16 hours of driving, 8 hours of sleep, for 90 days in a row. Could you do it? Would you do it?

Easily. I worked 7 days a week 24 hours a day for 7 straight months in 1991 and 1992....I slept on a cot in a warehouse and showered at the nursing station at work. I was making $15.75 an hour for the first 8 hours of each week (Monday) and time and a half for everything beyond 8 that day and, starting at the beginning of my scheduled shift on Tuesday of every week I would be on double time until I had 8 hours off between shifts...which I never had. I did one stretch of this for 49 days and another for 78. I would do 20-30 straight regularly...

So, basically do a 15 hour day for 3 months as a driver?

Who wouldn't do that? 3 months and retire.
