Umm - yeah

I'd probably do it for much longer than that.

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?


What kind of moron would say no?

After further considering the logistics of this, the trick is to break it up unconventionally.

Drive to ATL, hour nap.
Drive to BR.
Begin drive back to ATL and stop in Alabama for roughly 10 hours.

That way you can minimize stimulant usage and give yourself a greater amount of time to sleep in a stretch.

What’s the longest amount of time you would stand in line for $50 cash?

What are we driving? It better be something good or we're going to be broken down quite a bit with 90 days of nonstop driving

I think everyone would love to try it. I think almost everyone would fail, though.

All it takes is one wreck, a blown tire, traffic jam, etc. to turn your drive into a much longer affair. Assuming you can’t get a break on those events, you’re toast. Interstates get backed up all the time because of shite.

Fatigue and night driving would be an issue as well. I’ve driven 15 and 16 hour days. No way could I do the turnaround 89 more times. This would wreck someone’s mental health also. You’d start seeing things on the road, feel claustrophobic, things like that.

I don’t think it’s possible.

Everyone is saying yes, but I think 15 days in most people would quit. I don't think I could physically do it.
At 15 days, you're already ~17% complete. And you get 8 hours of sleep.

At $7,000/hr, I would beg this magnanimous bastard to let me stay on for Q2. Maybe straight through till Christmas.

Does the return have to be accomplished in the 16 contiguous hours or only complete within 24 of leaving? If the later that gives more flexibility and could break monotony of the same amount of driving every day. I'd try either way though.

I feel like most of the people saying they can do it easily, are people that have never driven that long of distance. I speak from experience. I drove from Ft Myers FL to Illinois non-stop. Left 7pm arrived 9 am. Didn't eat. Just stopped for gas 4 times. And you want me to believe I could go to sleep for 8 hours, and then do it all over again...89 more consecutive times. No friggin way.

No it’s not easy money unless you have another driver.... that same route day after day will make you start seeing things and shite..... if it was a three hour drive, that would be one thing.......
