If you are trying to see what cool sights you chance upon - not worth it. If you are trying to hit some major tourist spots like the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, etc, then it might also be worth it. I have not tried that. All I remember is Waffle House, Sonic, and armadillo road kill...
I drove a rental truck from St Louis to Houston alone and it was long and at times damn boring, but it was also a great time for me to think about a lot of stuff, and also got to listen to cheesy classic rock songs and sing my lungs out without anyone complaining. Seriously it was worth it.

I drove from SF to Miami 3 months ago it wasn't too bad actually passing through the mountains in the Mojave and New Mexico was the best part.
