Easy, really. 26 hours total trip time with 12.45 pay. Efficient. If needed, Melatonin can work wonders to help you sleep after you arrive from your all-nighter.
That's a lot better than leaving at 1AM East Coast time when I used to do them out of Philly. I'm glad they've transitioned them away from East Coast trips to West Coast.
