🇺🇸While the official holiday is Monday, May 25, 2026, the „holiday weekend“ begins on Thursday, May 21, as travelers hit the roads early, and continues through Tuesday, May 26, when traffic clears.It is one of the busiest travel periods of the year — families hitting the road, RVs everywhere, and holiday traffic that can turn a smooth haul into a stressful one. Here are critical tips to keep you safe and on schedule:
🇺🇸🚛Plan smarter routes: Avoid major tourist corridors and beach/highway choke points during peak hours. Use real-time apps and build extra buffer time into every load.
🇺🇸🚛Increase your following distance: With more passenger vehicles, distracted drivers, and sudden stops, give yourself double the usual space.
🇺🇸🚛Rest & hydrate: Don’t push fatigue. Memorial Weekend traffic often means longer wait times at shippers/receivers — use that time to stay fresh.
🇺🇸🚛Stay hyper-aware at exits & rest areas: Expect heavy RV and car traffic merging and pulling in/out unexpectedly.
🇺🇸🚛Double-check your equipment: Brakes, lights, tires, and straps — everything needs to be perfect before you roll.
🇺🇸🚛Be Prepared For Increased Law
Enforcement: Expect an increase in patrol units during the holiday weekend. State troopers will be focused on speeding, aggressive driving, seatbelt compliance, ELD and HOS documentation, and random roadside inspections.
Safe miles and steady hands this holiday weekend. Our drivers move America — let’s do it responsibly.
