Traveling over the Memorial Day holiday? Make sure to pack a hefty dose of patience as a record number of drivers are expected to share the road to holiday destinations.
Joining holiday travelers will be thousands of do-it-yourself movers heading to new hometowns and professional truck drivers, working hard to keep the supply chain moving.
AAA projects 45.1 million travelers to head 50 or more miles from home over the holiday weekend which begins Thursday, May 22, and ends Memorial Day, Monday, May 26. This year’s travel forecast sets a new Memorial Day record.
“Memorial Day weekend getaways don’t have to be extravagant and costly,” said Stacey Barber, Vice President of AAA Travel. “While some travelers embark on dream vacations and fly hundreds of miles across the country, many families just pack up the car and drive to the beach or take a road trip to visit friends.”
AAA projects 39.4 million people will travel by car over Memorial Day weekend, an additional one million travelers compared to last year.
More holiday travelers will arrive to their destinations by car. Driving is the preferred mode of transportation, with 87% of Memorial Day travelers choosing to take road trips, according to AAA.
INRIX, a provider of transportation data and insights, expects the afternoons over the Memorial Day weekend to be the most congested. Travelers should plan to travel in the morning hours for the best chance to avoid heavy traffic.
Drivers in major metro areas, including Boston, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., can expect to see the heaviest traffic.
Memorial Day also signals the start to the busy summer moving season, as do-it-yourself movers pack up for moves across town and across the country.

As the contraction of the freight continues the downward trend of rates has me rethinking my operation. I am considering a option of working with a Dispatch Service as I did when I started my company. But there has to be some issues I need to know. Nowadays so many scams around Double Brokering and outright stealing, what should I do minimize the chances of exposer ?
Hey everyone, I wanted to kick off this thread in “Discuss Your Favorite Trucking Company Here” by sharing my experience with Trucking42’s dispatch service. They charge just 3.75% commission on gross revenue—on the low end compared to the industry norm of 3–8%.
Unlike many firms that train green dispatchers, Trucking42 hires only seasoned pros, so you’re never teaching on the job. They handle full load booking (data entry at…
