Another useful historical bit would be the Transcontinental Motor Convoy of 1919, which went from the District of Columbia to San Francisco along the planned path of the incomplete Lincoln Highway. It took 62 days at an average speed of around 6 miles per hour. About 10% each of vehicles and men did not complete the journey, falling out at various places due to mechanical damage or injury. During the trip, 88 bridges had to be repaired because they were not strong enough for the trucks being used. Travel will be very slow, especially away from the two coasts.
