What's the longest drive you have single manned

[67ChevyRedneck]

I grew up south of Buffalo in NY. I moved to the upstate of SC for Clemson and after I graduated I loved it so much I moved to the greenville area. The drive home is approximately 725 miles each way. I've averaged about 2 trips a year from 2000 to about 2005 then one per year, sometimes two since then.

 

I can usually do the drive in 11-12 hours, depending on traffic, weather, and stops. I usually only stop to piss and fill up the tank, 10-15mins per stop max. I was going home for Christmas, and I can't quite remember the year, it may have been 2004, but it started snowing when I left Clemson, SC at 5am. I was driving a 1986 2wd toyota truck with a wood flat bed (originally a rusty NY truck) with a few sandbags over the axle in the bed. The south doesn't have much for snow equipment and it came down hard and fast. There was over an inch of snow on the road by the time I was 30 mins into my drive, but I pressed on. By the time I hit HWY 19 that cuts through the mountains of WV it was snowing so hard there was only one cleared lane, which still had an inch or two on it, and the other lanes had 5 or 6. It was horrible, but I was young and stupid and pressed on. I only stopped for gas and bathroom breaks, and for fast food once. I arrived at my parents house in NY around midnight. That's right. 19 hours straight of driving through a blizzard, sometimes at only 10-15mph. I will NEVER forget that trip.

This summer, on vacation, I pulled a camper & 4 wheeler 2700 miles, from central Illinois to SW Colorado, and back. Spent 63 hours driving, lol. Drove it all myself, but had a co-pilot. Longest stretch without stopping (other than food or gas) was about 12 hrs.
