Comparing regular trips to being in a truck/TC doesn't seem at all comparable.
I have done the 1000 mile CA-to-CO trip with my truck/TC as well and the only difference is that it takes one more stop for fuel and another hour of travel. I can travel just as fast with the TC as without it with the only caveat being that I burn more fuel to do so. Hence the extra fuel stop.
The CA-to-TX-to-CA trip was in truck pulling a trailer loaded with a car and then empty trailer on return, so is comparable to truck/TC. Though I would actually have been slightly faster with TC as CA doesn't limit speed to 55mph for a TC like it does when pulling a trailer, so that would have knocked an hour off each way.
