Had to rent a 22 ft uhaul once to run a rural route. 50 boxes. Nearly 200 to rent it and another 150 in gas. Nothing else available. Was a nightmare.
True dat. U-Haul is a major rip-off. They finally started to modernize their fleet a few years back after being sued hundreds of times for broken-down, unsafe, or just plain old and worn-out vehicles.
My favorite was when they started gluing rubber skirts along the bottom panel of the van body, giving the illusion that these were "fuel-saving" skirts, ala the California-mandated fuel skirts on trailers. Problem is, the skirts were attached to the body directly, with no portion actually providing a streamlining effect.
None of this stopped U-Haul from emblazoning their trucks with slogans telling you how much fuel you were saving. Not a drop.
