My mom and I have moved so many times through the years. Cross country. She has always been looking for a better life. Lucky for me, I've seen about 40 of the 50 states. Because of Uhaul, we were able to do this, all by ourselves. Being it was just me and her all those years. One day, sadly, when she's no longer here anymore, I won't ever be able to look at one of these orange trucks without crying my eyes out. We spent many days driving from California to North Carolina, or from NC to Michigan. Some of my best times were spent in the cab of one of those trucks lol. When we moved from Lake Tahoe to Raleigh NC, it was her and I, and in between us, our parakeet, Bud. Took our time during that move. Seven days, coast to coast, me only being 14 at the time, she drove the whole thing.
So grateful that all those years ago, this couple had this idea for this company. Because of that, I was given the gift of many great memories with my mama. Thank you so much.

While I was an international student from Saudi Arabia at Arizona State, I have used U-haul equipment and storage facilities many many times. I can happily say that each and every time I was completely satisfied with everything u-haul offered and I'm a huge U-haul believer and I can truly say that everything U-haul makes, they make with perfection and innovation. Keep it up U-Haul. Everything was a great experience, starting with the amazing staff and ending with easy rent&return process. Sending my love to U-Haul and the great engineering who build the amazing equipment.

Years ago I worked for a U-Haul shop(Kar-Go Service Center), we went up to Novi to pick up a group of new TC's, and got to take the tour of the plant. Very interesting the way they made the truck bodies. That day was the longest day I ever had, worked second shift the day before, went home at 11:30 pm, no sleep, then left town to head to Novi before sunrise, then get back about 5pm. I'll never forget that. Working on van bodies in the U-Haul shop was the best job I ever had, the rest since then have been mediocre at best. Got laid off. I would go back in a second. It was my first job, and at this point in life, a job there now would (hopefully) be my last. miss those U-Haul days...

I've rented many of your 5x8 enclosed trailers, smaller ramp trailers, and auto transport trailers. Hands down, these are the finest built trailers that I have ever seen. I wish there was a way to get one that you guys would be retiring for my personal use.
