US Driver Alert: Gear Up Your Thanksgiving Week Driving Plans (Part II)

For US-based drivers this Saturday and Sunday (November 19-20) is the formal kick-off to the Thanksgiving holiday travel extravaganza ... air, rail and bus. Most riders will depart in the pre-noon morning hours and typically arrive at their destinations by late afternoon-early evening. So plan to get an early start by concentrating around densely populated residential areas with the expectation of multiple trips to airports, train and bus stations. During the afternoon and early evening time frame be positioned to pick-up riders from these same locations headed to the homes of their families or loved ones. Like other major holidays people tend to travels as families or in groups rather than individually during non-holiday periods. Also, anticipate alot of luggage so be sure to remove any unnecessary item s from your vehicle to optimize space and reap the rewards.
