Texas is 800 miles wide. I know a guy who made the drive from central Texas to San Francisco and back in just over two days. That's a 3200+ mile round trip.
Is that guy a big fan of stimulants? I did an absolutely insane road trip once that pales in comparison to that. I was driving 9-14 hours a day but what you just said sounds like 24 hour driving days.
He did the first leg on coffee, passed out while his friend in SF loaded the moving van, and then his friend drove the truck back part of the way and he took over when he woke up. The tuck was only ever parked long enough to load it, get food, or pee.
Thankfully I was on a separate trip or I'd have been guy #2.
that is bonkers. Sounds like a tight group of friends you have!
