Always engage the parking brake and turn wheels away from traffic when parking on sloped streets throughout the rental period.

Load heavy items over the rear axle and distribute weight evenly across the truck bed to maintain proper handling around Yonkers roads. Secure all cargo with tie-downs or straps to prevent shifting during transport through New York traffic. Keep the load within the truck's payload capacity and avoid stacking items too high, which affects stability when driving between White Plains and Manhattan.
