Tips for a Star-Spangled Independence Day Move
While fireworks and sparklers are staples of Independence Day celebrations, their incendiary nature place them among the hazardous cargo prohibited from Penske rental trucks.
Penske reminds consumers that under its rental agreement flammable, explosive or otherwise hazardous materials may not be transported in its rental vehicles.
Fireworks are considered a Class 1 hazardous material by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.There are federal regulations that apply to rental truck operators regarding the transportation of hazardous materials.
In addition to fireworks, Penske prohibits carrying or hauling hazardous cargo such as full gas tanks, propane tanks, paint thinners, pesticides, fertilizer, charcoal and lighter fluid.
Being mindful of hazardous cargo is just one factor do-it-yourself movers should keep in mind as they travel to new destinations over the long Independence Day holiday weekend.
Independence Day Travel Outlook
AAA projects 61.6 million people will travel by car over the holiday weekend, a 2.2% increase over last year and the highest number on record.
“Summertime is one of the busiest travel seasons of the year, and July 4th is one of the most popular times to get away,” said Stacey Barber, Vice President of AAA Travel.
“Following Memorial Day’s record forecast, AAA is seeing strong demand for road trips and air travel over Independence Day week,” Barber said. “With the holiday falling on a Friday, travelers have the option of making it a long weekend or taking the entire week to make memories with family and friends.”
INRIX, a provider of transportation data and insights, expects Wednesday, July 2 and Sunday, July 6 to be the busiest days on the road. Afternoon hours will be the most congested.
Drivers should hit the road in the morning to avoid the worst traffic. Construction, crashes, or severe weather could impact travel times. Drivers are advised to be mindful of stopped vehicles including emergency responders.
