Longest in hours? 9 hours

I go on long road trips with my sister, best friend, best friend’s sister, and best friend’s husband. Sometimes 12-18 hours. I would often try to sit in the back seat (or take the train) so I could put my feet up and stretch my legs. My friend is small enough that she can even lie down in the back seat of a car. One of my cars I intentionally got a wider one to make it easier for her to lie down. I don’t like sitting for long periods of time

@CSYLFM My wife and I have a motorhome. You can stretch out on the couch or sit in the recliner while I am driving. Even the passenger seat is a motorized recliner.

16 hours when i drove a truck
Among the many long distance trips by cars and motorcycles, I once drove from Michigan to Phoenix, only stopping for a 3 hour nap at a rest area outside of Tucumcari NM.

In hindsight, it seemed as if I lived on Coca-Cola and Marlboro Reds back then.

Are we talking entire trip or without stopping for the bathroom, food or gas?
26 hours doing private contract snow plow for parking lots in December 1994, I took out the cyclone fence of a Naval Reserve readiness center in Waterloo, Iowa, after only being allowed five hours sleep before being put back in a truck, the boss lost his bond with the county after the Naval Reserve Commander interviewed me for the report and I told him everything. Ten years after that the now ex boss and his wife went to Club Fed for tax evasion.
