How long to drive from Truckee to Salt Lake City?

Answer 1

It can be done in very close to 24 hours if you have at least 2 drivers and can average at least 350 miles per fuel stop consistently. In order to do it you will need to choose the lowest traffic hours possible. I recommend a Saturday mid morning departure from DTW, plan your fuel stops carefully and switch drivers at each stop to maintain high alertness. This puts you traveling through Iowa, Nebraska, and about half of Wyoming during the nightime hours where patrolling is pretty minimal (except through Omaha). Early Sunday morning on the freeway in Western Wyoming and Northern Utah is very light so traffic shouldn't be a problem during the home stretch.

Answer 2

Last time I went it took about 9 1/2 hours. that was with only adults, a few stops for food/coffee moderate traffic and speeding the usual 9 over.

Answer 3

7 and 1/2 hours
