Google maps says it is a 15-hour drive. That is a long day but still is just a day. It would be akin to Seattle to SF, or Vancouver to Calgary. Most people with cars on the west coast wouldn't really blink at such a drive. It is still in that range where one can debate flying v driving in terms of money/time/pollution.
You must be made of sterner stuff than I am. It was 14.5 hours for me to go to college, and after freshman year I always crashed at a friend’s place along the way. 12 is fine, 13 is stretching it, but at 14 hours there’s no way I’m doing it in one day.
14 and 10 used to be the trucking standard. 14 on the road, 2 for eating and 8 for sleeping. Many people did that continuously for weeks. Doing it for a couple days isnt impossible.
Not impossible, just so unpleasant that I wouldn’t do it on vacation. If you’re getting paid for it you probably do have a different opinion on the matter.
