What Your Sponsorship Covers
Your sponsorship directly supports the cost of documenting America’s highways. Here’s where your funds go:
⛽ Fuel
Your sponsorship helps cover gas for the full route — including round-trip mileage from Little Rock, Arkansas. Fuel costs vary, so each trip includes a mileage-based estimate.
🏨 Lodging
Most trips require an overnight stay or two. We book affordable, safe lodging at approximately $100/night.
🍽️ Meals + Snacks
We budget for $15–25 per meal, plus snacks and hydration — especially on longer travel days.
🛣️ Tolls + Travel Fees
Sponsorship includes any toll roads along the route, covered at plate-by-mail rates + a 20% admin fee for processing.
Optional Add-ons
Enhance your sponsorship with these extras — perfect for personal touches or brand visibility.

❓ FAQ
Can I pick a specific highway
Absolutely — in fact, it’s required! Each sponsorship is tied to a specific highway or route of your choice. Whether it’s a road with personal meaning, a stretch that needs more attention, or a scenic favorite, you’ll tell us exactly which highway to feature. We’ll plan our travel and coverage around your selection, making your sponsorship truly personal and impactful. If you’re not sure which highway to choose, we’re happy to help you pick one that aligns with your goals.
Can a business sponsor?
Absolutely! We welcome sponsorships from businesses of all sizes — from local shops and regional brands to national companies and nonprofits. It’s a creative way to support independent travel content while gaining meaningful exposure.
As a business sponsor, you’ll have the opportunity to feature your name, website, or message in select promotional materials tied to the route you sponsor. Whether you want to highlight your hometown, align with a scenic corridor, or raise awareness for a cause, we’ll help tailor the sponsorship to fit your goals.
Custom options are available for nonprofits and small businesses, and we’re happy to work within your budget or campaign needs.
What’s included in a keepsake?
Our keepsake package is a great way to commemorate your sponsored route! Each keepsake includes:
-
A high-quality printed photo taken during the trip, featuring a highlight from your sponsored highway
-
A personalized note of thanks with the name you sponsored under
-
Route details and a brief recap of the journey
Keepsakes are mailed shortly after the trip concludes and are perfect for displaying, gifting, or simply remembering your impact.
How long does a trip take? When will I see my video(s)?
Trip durations vary based on the length of the route, weather, and travel logistics — but most are completed within 1–2 weeks of sponsorship confirmation. After the trip, videos typically take an additional 2–4 weeks to edit, upload, and publish, depending on our production queue.
You’ll receive an update when filming is complete, and we’ll notify you again once your video(s) are live. If your sponsorship includes a keepsake or promotional feature, those will follow shortly after publication.
Need a faster turnaround? Let us know — rush delivery may be available on select routes.
