Information
December is one of the busiest months on the road. From holiday shopping to road trips to see loved ones, Charlotte’s streets and highways are bustling. At Hitch & Haul Heroes, we’re here to ensure you stay safe and prepared during the holiday hustle.
1. Plan Ahead for Holiday Traffic
Charlotte can get congested, especially around shopping centers and major routes like I-77 and I-85. Use apps like Google Maps or Waze to avoid heavy traffic. Leaving early or traveling during off-peak hours can save time and stress.
2. Create a Winter Roadside Kit
Even in Charlotte’s mild winters, it’s wise to be prepared. Include items like:
- A flashlight and extra batteries
- A blanket or warm clothing
- Non-perishable snacks and water
- A phone charger or power bank
- Basic tools and jumper cables
3. Don't Overload Your Vehicle
Holiday trips often mean carrying gifts and luggage. Be mindful of your vehicle’s weight capacity to avoid stressing the suspension or reducing control. Secure all items properly to prevent them from shifting while driving.
4. Stay Sober and Alert
With holiday parties in full swing, it’s critical to designate a driver if you’ve been drinking. Also, take breaks during long trips to avoid fatigue.
5. Know Who to Call for Help
Emergencies can happen to anyone. Program Hitch and Haul Heroes 704-910-7911 into your phone for reliable, 24/7 roadside assistance. Whether it’s a flat tire, a lockout, or a tow, we’re here to help keep your holiday spirit intact.
Stay Safe and Happy Holidays!
December should be a time of joy, not stress. Let’s work together to keep Charlotte’s roads safe this holiday season. From all of us at Hitch & Haul Heroes, we wish you and your family a wonderful holiday and a smooth ride into the New Year!
