Ok #Uhaul truck final: we picked it averaging 8,000 miles at 7.3mpg.
With a peak of 8.8, a worst day of 6.6, our final average of 7.9 raised the eyebrows of the person checking me in.
We raised the lifetime average to 7.9.
Budget for 5 mpg.

Never confuse a #uhaul rental with an actual moving truck.

I'm hearing that a U-Haul plowed through an Iran protest in Los Angeles.

After their walk, videos showed the group loading themselves into the cargo holds of three U-Haul trucks and then shutting the doors and driving off.
According to U-Haul spokesperson Jeff Lockridge, those actions violated the terms of the renters’ contracts, which state that people cannot be transported in the truck’s cargo areas.
Lockridge added that the company also does not stand for the group’s ideology. -

Anybody used U-Haul U-Boxes for a move? (I'm going cross-country this summer). A friend in the industry (who I trust) recommended this as the best way to go.
I've done a fairly good estimate (I think!) on what I have, and I think 2 boxes is sufficient and still gives me enough headroom. But I'm wondering if I'm not accounting enough for packing materials etc. They do say on the web site you only pay for the ones you use, so maybe I should book 3 just to be safe and hopefully only use 2.
I'm going to be hiring a crew to pack & load, I'm done with my move-it-all-myself years! (although I'll pre-pack as much as I can).
Any comments, suggestions are more than welcome...

One of the Nazis was seen bragging about their top level opsec and how none of the Nazis were doxxed.
The poster, Uhaul driver Sean Gugerty of Tucson, has since been doxxed by antifa researchers along with a half dozen others who've attended these events in the past 🥴

Violent #Hackers Are Using U-Haul To #Dox Targets
With access to U-Haul employee accounts, hackers can lookup a U-Haul customer’s personal data, and with that try to social engineer their way into the target’s online accounts.

Egal ob #UPS (hier im Bild), #FedEx, #Amazon oder #USPS: es ist jedes Jahr gegen Jahresende wieder aufs Neue krass, welche immensen Flotten da bei #Penske, #UHaul, #Budget oder #Enterprise zugemietet werden um die Peak Season irgendwie bewältigen zu können.
Mit anderen Worten: ab Ende November bis Anfang Januar besser nicht umziehen weil's sonst mit ner Truck/Semi-Miete eng werden könnte.

So I stood there at the side of the road, while waiting for the people at U-Haul to figure out how to rescue my beached whale and the household full of stuff it contained. Eventually a huge #wrecker turned up, the kind that is as long as a semi with a full-sized trailer, picked up the front end of the U-Haul, and hauled it into town, to my house, where we would need to unload.
My house, in a neighbourhood from the 1910s, with tiny houses, narrow lots, and narrow streets. And full props to the driver, he parallel-parked-by-proxy that U-Haul in a space directly in front of my house that was barely big enough for it.
Got it unloaded, then the wrecker came back and hauled it away.
Takeaways:
1. Real professional #drivers are amazing at what they do.
2. U-Haul #trucks and #equipment are horribly maintained, because the incentives work against the franchisees doing anything but renting them out and hoping it's a one-way rental so they never see it again. Be prepared to deal with problems. Do a *serious* walk-around #inspection for #safety issues before you even think about taking it on the highway.
3. Not illustrated in this story, but U-Haul reservations ... aren't. They might put your name on a "list" when you ask for one, but whoever shows up first gets the truck. You can walk in with a "#reservation" and they'll just say "Nope, don't have any trucks left" or give you something completely not what you "reserved".

@jerry 's recent post about Adventures In Xmas Tree Delivery with a U-Haul truck reminded me I've never told this story here. So, my own U-Haul experience...
We were moving my partner from another city to mine, about a two-and-a-half-hour drive. Rented a U-Haul truck, whatever was the largest they had at the time. 17-foot rings a bell, but I'm not positive about that.
It was built on a Chrysler/Dodge frame, and had a 10-cylinder diesel engine. It still felt under-powered.
I was the one to drive it to Saskatoon. Loud, uncomfortable ride, but uneventful. But as I approached the outskirts of the city, something just felt a little "off". Nothing I could put my finger on. Until I reached an overpass that goes over train tracks, so a little up-and-down hump in the middle of flat prairie.
And as soon as I hit that hump, *something* went wrong with the engine. It coughed loudly, was immediately down on power and running roughly, and in the few seconds it took for me to check my mirrors and see what options I had, it started belching white smoke from the exhaust. That's coolant in the cylinders, meaning (at best) it blew a head gasket, or (at worst) put a connecting rod through the block. Probably not a big enough bang for that.
Couldn't even coast it up the rest of the hill, so it was stranded on a narrow overpass, almost touching the guardrail.

@rms Also interesting to note #UHaul feeds E.Joe Shoen who then feeds #Trump¹. So folks might want to boycott U-Haul. 1. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelatindera/2021/02/19/here-are-the-billionaires-who-donated-to-donald-trumps-2020-presidential-campaign/

2 months into a relationship and god I love her so damn much. There's a lot of passion, but there's also that steady comfort and safety... God I already can't imagine life without her.
How do y'all process the lesbian uhaul instinct? lol

Im Queeren ABC geht's heute um Umzugslaster. Dieses Fahrzeug spielt nämlich eine tragende Rolle in einem der beliebtesten queeren Witze:
Was bringt eine Lesbe zum zweiten Date mit? - ... genau.
Dieser Witz kommt eigentlich aus dem Englischen. In den USA wird ein Umzugslaster oft U-Haul genannt, nach dem bekanntesten Lastwagen-Verleiher des Landes. (1/4) -
