Kids having to piss every 45 minutes.
Last Sunday, me and the little pisses drove from Park City, UT to White Wakanda. It's about a 10 hr drive give or take. They needed 1 pee break at 3.35 hrs in Twin Falls, Idaho, and that was it. Key is to give them enough liquid to stay hydrated but not so much that they have to piss every 45 mins.
 
I hate when people in the group milk every stop you make for 30 minutes or more when you're supposed to be grabbing a snack and/or drink, taking a quick piss and getting back on the road.
In my family this is actually the adult women. They can find some way to drag their feet about getting back on the road in the most desolate places. When I voted "fuck them kids" I lumped them all since there was no option to vote against the ladies.
 
I 5 on Fridays/Sundays is a non- starter for me…if there is no back road option, I ain’t departing…

You don't just leave them?
 
I'm not sure what's worse: a shitty passing situation, construction or an accident slowing you down/brining you to a dead stop?
At least you can somewhat plan around construction and there's usually a warning sign telling you how long you're in the work zone.
 
In 97 on way to the Rashaan Shehee and the #2 in the nation Dwags blood bath of the cougars in Provo, every time I stopped, it was a clinched asshole hoping the engine would turn over and get us back on the road. Couple of times it took some praying and patience.

Semi trucks are horrible especially if they cut you off with no one behind you.

Rest stop bathrooms are where I do some of my best work.

Also almost shit my pants driving between Boise and White Wakanda. Fortunately a tiny little rest stop, really just a stand alone shitter appeared before I could get to Burns. I'm still not certain why anyone lives in Burns.

The semi of today especially unloaded beats your average Prius driver rather easily

Burns - like much of flyover cuntry - provides us with beef and the hay/alfalfa with which to feed them.

Yeah I assumed it was something agricultural. For the record I love small town 'Merica. I just don't live in it.

Depends on the grade, but yeah a modern Freightliner without too much of load can haul ass in a straight line.
I cut the semis more slack than slow poke RV bros like @LebamDawg because the former keep me fed and fueled out here in BFE Oregon.

Same, I enjoy driving through flyover country just as long as it’s not a regular occurrence.
 
When I was an active participant in the RV lifestyle, I was doing 80mph down the interstate. Mrs Nacho didn’t approve but guess who does the driving?
 
edit: fucking kids, dog, and TOF.
SC to FL (lower AL) is going to be a bitch and I already want to kill myself.

Sorry though, I won’t be killing myself as a giant water slide, paintball, and a shit ton of fireworks awaits.
