LIFE HACKS
4TH OF JULY ROAD TRIP HACKS
If you're hitting the road this holiday week, here's the best travel hack: leave before 6 a.m. or after 8 p.m.
You'll avoid the biggest traffic waves and could shave a surprising amount of time off your drive.
Before you head out, download your route in Google Maps for offline use in case you hit a dead zone, and use apps like GasBuddy to find cheaper fuel stops along the way.
A few minutes of planning before you leave can save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration once you're on the road.
