Straight answers
Georgia truck rental FAQ
Is the Masters Tournament week the only Augusta surge?
Largely yes — early April Masters week is the dominant Augusta surge. Some smaller surges around US Open golf (when held in GA) + Fort Eisenhower transitions.
Can I drive a Port of Savannah drayage flatbed cross-state?
Yes for non-CDL loads under 26,000 lbs GVWR; over-the-road CDL drayage requires CDL + commercial insurance. PickRV flagger separates these on listing.
