For years I've been buying vehicles on East Coast and bringing them to California.
My personal best in the car was 1240 miles/2 time zones in a "day".
Day ended at 3 AM that is why "".
In the past I was making 2100 miles from Chicago to SF Bay Area in 2 days, even with diesel pusher. But those were days of 90 cents fuel and no revenue seekers on the road. Now driving 80 even in Nebraska brings high risk of tickets, especially in jurisdictions where cops have trigger-activated radars that my ValentineOne will not detect in advance.
Sure doable, but not enjoyable.
I mention time zones on purpose - driving east you will notice shorter days affecting your daily mileage.
