How is halfway from Jacksonville computed?

Savannah — the meeting town Brunswick, GA is about 1 h 45 from Jacksonville and 1 h 36 from Savannah, the smallest longest-leg of any pair from Jacksonville.
What is the longest drive with a halfway guide from Jacksonville?
Seattle, at an estimated 40 h 36 and 2598.6 mi one way — the guide's first meeting town is Kearney, NE.
