U-haul
 

Anyone rented a u-haul in last week or so?

Relief manager couldnt find truck keys yesterday when I got there. Had to get hold of a second location. That manager explained U-haul has elevated break-in and truck theft numbers in last few weeks. So stores have gone to new key security measures.

His info was the increased thefts are thought to be related to protest activities?

This is a political thread

Everything is political to some people. Im just curious if anyone else has run across this at a uhaul. Or if the manager was full of baloney. Or maybe too hung over to remember where he put the truck keys.

Glad i didnt ask about the plywood all over the businesses on my way to the uhaul store. You might have really blown a gasket over that.

I own two U-Haul dealerships. We are taking additional security measures. Draw your own conclusion.

In my little piece of the world you can't even get a 5'x8' unless you drive 1.5 hours away. Hope that means theyre busy and making money.

And why are the 6'x10's only for local use?

U-Haul is very market dependent. I can't speak to the trailer specifics as we only offer trucks at our dealerships. Some dealerships avoid trailers because of the additional PITA factor, which could be the case in your area. If you are in NYC, SFO or a few other similar areas, trailers/trucks can be hard to locate. In places like TX, FL, AZ trucks and trailers are plentiful. Just for fun compare the one way rates moving from NY to FL, Chicago to Austin or CA to AZ, then look at the reverse routing price. Airlines aren't the only industry who understands demand pricing.

Again draw your own conclusions...

This a a political thread, but talking about gender neutral announcements is not?? Ooff, your hypocrisy astounds me.

Thanks Gunner. It sounded plausible, but had a minute of wondering if I was being put on.

No offense about the being hungover thingy. Lol.

I actually completely agree. Both should be deleted

Triggered.....again
