In one day, one sitting, alone: Chicago to Rapid City, SD - 920 miles, 13 hours. I've done that about 10 times, plus a few more times with other paople.

In more days: Chicago to Rapid City to Spokane, WA to Forks, Wa - 2300 Miles. Then I had to hike for a few days and then drive home.

11 hours, 630 miles to Fries, VA each way with my Appalachia Immersion Experience group. At least we had some fun along the way.

I had 3 weeks vacation and so decided to see the rockies out in Alberta in Late March.

Drove from Toronto area, all the way to Alberta, then to Vancouver and all the way back.

Probably around 5000 Km each way.

I'm guessing there were a few stretches of high speed limits in between Chicago and Rapid City...It takes me the same amount of time to go from Chicago to DC...

hmm .. non stop (except for gas, food) Chicago to New Orleans, and then a week later the drive back, about 1000 miles each way, I drove there with a buddy of mine, but I didn't like his driving, so i drove the whole way both ways except for about 50 miles.

second longest woud be from chicago to sioux falls to visit my uncle.
I've driven there and back twice .. thats about 600 miles

Well, I drove about 3 minutes to pick up some tacos once...

In one sitting, about 700-750 miles, overall longest trip alone was Massachusetts to Houston in 3 days, the 750 mile stint was during that trip.

the longest (driving time) and most exhausting was from ensenada mexico to
oxnard california - took hours to get across the border,
then we took a scenic route.

Lincoln Park, Michigan to Tampa, Florida

Non-stop, not even to eat. I just filled up the gas tank and emptied my bladder.

I assume you mean not on a daily basis for a job, that would be almost 1500 miles but that's over 5 days.

For a trip by myself, most was 850 miles over 2 days.

For a one day trip was a little over 800 miles. Drove from about 5pm until about 3am. Speeding ticket for that one was a lot of $$$. :(

With my wife sharing the driving the longest we've driven was 950 miles over 2 days.
