First time traveling out west so not sure what to expect/we are leaving on Sept 12 and need to be there by the 13 or the 14th the latest.
Martha,
Please consider how such a long drive will be tolerated by everyone. I put this in the TL trip planner and it's over 1400 miles and 26 hours of driving (based on the road speeds I adjusted from experience with different road types), and this doesn't include time for food or fuel stops. You likely need to add several additional hours to the trip for those.
1) It's not do-able in 1 day
2) It's still going to be a VERY long 2 days.
None of this takes into account any construction or traffic delays you may encounter, especially considering you will route through Columbus, OH, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Kansas City.
When there are such significant time constraints, flying is probably going to be much less stressful.
