I have made numerous 2000-2200 mile trips(Fort Worth to Maine or Florida), only stopping for gas, food, and restroom breaks. Stopping every 300 miles to stretch and walk a bit helps a lot. Audio books, mp3s, or satellite radio is a must. Like MK said, leaving at night and beating the traffic really helps. I always carry a cooler filled with juice, water, and snacks as well.01 red GT - 745whp/780wtq Whippled 4V and built 4R75W

Holy shit. I deserve everything I get for that.
Yes I know there are two time zones. It is a Monday, I need to wake up.

I can not count the amount of Red Bulls and Redlines I drank to keep awake.
Sooo Good luck!When the government pays, the government controls.

Pull nosehairs, yell and scream, slug self in the nuts. I drove here from Cali by myself. I was so wound up on energy drinks and trying to concentrate on staying awake that I couldn't sleep when I stopped and tried to so I ended up doing it with no rest. Did not feel so well when I arrived.Atlantic Blue '00 - '03 Cobra motor and TKO600, solid axle, full MM suspension

I just made the drive to Chicago and back this weekend. Had two other people with me, but I drove 8 of the 15 hours on the way back and still had plenty left in the tank when we arrived in Dallas. Take regular breaks and walk around, keep the a/c on blast, and vary up what you're listening to. I'd leave early in the morning as well, I seemed to just cruise through when it was dark and early out.
