Just in case anyone was curious about the speed to make this happen: 14 hrs driving at 123 km/h (76 mph) = 1732 km.

Not impossible but it's unlikely this was done in 14 hours and they probably swapped out drivers to achieve this.

What's the speed limit for lorries where this was done? Because in a lot of places it's going to be less than 123 km/h.

American truck drivers are more like airplane pilots than European truck drivers.

They has to charge at some point. There was more than 1 driver.

You can see in the article they were driving 60mph almost the whole time they weren’t charging
