U Haul No Haul U Haul

We reserved a 17′ U-Haul truck to move to our new house, and called at 8 am on the day of the reservation to see when we could pick the truck up. We heard the first of many (well rehearsed) “We’ll call you when the equipment is returned.” Our friends had already arrived to help stack the truck, and we twiddled our thumbs. All in all, we ended up having to borrow a small towed-trailer and pack up our friends’ cars to the hilt to complete our move. Luckily, we were only moving an hour away, so we were able to make two trips. The only “solution” that U-Haul provided was to call us at 5 pm that night and offer us a smaller truck 2 hours away from our old house and 3 hours away from the new place.

The only good news is that we’ll be able to use the money we saved from not paying U-Haul to get thank you gifts for our friends who provided their time, energy, and vehicles!
