This past weekend I helped my Mom move. That part was easy. The driving part sucked balls. I put just under 2000 km on my van in 3 days. One way trip was about 6 hours. With the van and the trailer packed to the tits, it was about a 10 hour drive from there to the new place. Then I had to drive home. Well... me and my brother in law really. He came to help me, and boy am I glad. Just having someone to divide the driving time was a great asset.
I drove to his place on Friday (2hs) and slept over. We left at 7:30 am and drove for about 7 hours. Pack up the van. Slept. Got up and packed the trailer. Headed out at 12:30 pm and got to our destination at 10:30 pm (10 hrs). Slept over. Drove back home which took another 3.5 hours.
Ugh... I don't think I want to drive for a good long while now.
So what's the most you've ever driven in one day or a short span of days.

Took us longer to get home as someone lost the directions.. missed our turn off, dicked for two hours... grah...
1146 miles or 1845 kilometers.
the longest trip we legally could do with only 1 driver was 11 hours.. though I did many 12 and 13 hour trips with logbook magic
Longest trip ever was 21 hours each direction with 2 drivers stopping ever 4 to 8 hours yeah.. was a bit of a trip to say the least and when 10 hours of it is 1 state.. it gets boring fast..
