    The cannonball run records are under 24 hours. A week travel includes few hours per day travel and generous breaks.

      The canonball run records also involve teams of people driving ahead with radios so they can do stretches of 120+

        Cannonball run is 2906 miles. Assuming most of it is across highways at 65 mph, (a lot of the west is faster but the east is slower), you’d get it in about 44 hours. With a 10-minute delay every 300 miles you’d add about 2 hours for a total of 46.3 hours.

        You want to stop every 16 hours of driving (since you don’t care about DOTs 10-hour limit) so it takes you slightly less than 3 days. Or less than half the stated “week”.
