How long do you think it would take to air up 8 truck tires from around 30-40 psi to 75 psi?
I'm interested in covering the situation where I drive in sand with very low pressure and then get on a freeway.

Those small air compressors take forever to fill a tire. The one that I have says it will fill a 13" car tire to 30PSI in 8 minutes (ya.....right). If it does fill that tire in 8 minutes, it will take about 20 minutes per tire to take your truck tires from 30# to 75#. If you have 8 tire, you'll be there for about 2 1/2 hours. It may be slightly less if you have a large mini-compressor but a mini- compressor is a mini-compressor and they just are not designed for what you are talking about.
If you have all that off-road stuff, you may want to invest in a generator and a 110V compressor with a 2hp motor and 8-10 gal tank......like this one:

Even that compressor will take a while to do the job that you are asking.
