Chicago to LA is 30 hours by truck. Typical 53 foot trailer is 3816 cubic feet.
A LTO-7 tape can hold 6TB The volume of a LTO-7 tape is just under 0.01 cubic foot (0.00839973....) We'll use 0.01 cubic foot. A 53 foot trailer packed completely full can hold 381600 Tapes X 6TB = 2,289,600TB, or 2289 PB. 2,289,600TB/30hours = 76320TB/hr. or 1272TB/min or 21.2TB/sec. or 169.6Tbit/second.
