The longest drive

IBP Meat, Wallula, WA to IBP Meat Amarillo, TX 1500 miles in 1997. Straight thru with 1 stop in Green River, UT for fuel. On paper, and the DM had sent me cash via Western Union to West Winds truck stop in Green River so i wouldn't have a fuel receipt on my ComData card. It was right around 26 hours total. Had two days off in Amarillo, to "Rest Up".
