Also Maine has a good deal for commercial trailers.
That’s what I figured. I looked it up, costs between $1K - $2K or so to ship. Not as much as I would have thought.
my sis has been waiting for the movers for 2 weeks and counting to get her stuff from Boise to Jacksonville. house was loaded on the truck almost a month ago.
they claim they dont have drivers.
May be a franchisee-owned trailer and not corporate-owned.
It’s a small fee because it hasn’t yet been adjusted for inflation...
Years ago, here in Virginia I would see a lot of hispanics driving cars with North Carolina tags.
I think the reason was, at the time, North Carolina made it very easy for “undocumented” people to get a license and register a car.
easiness and source of cash for counties go hand in hand.
Why U-Haul trucks all have Arizona license plates
It's a miracle!
It starts off with "do-it-yourself movers" using trucks registered in Eretz Yonah -- Eretz Tziona, the last contiguous state (Feb 14, 1912). Therefore it paradoxically pays off big to take a look back, because objects in the mirror are closer than they appear:
By 1955, there were more than 10,000 U-Haul trailers on the road and the brand was nationally known. The corporate offices were in Portland, until a 1967 relocation to Phoenix, Arizona.[5] While distracted to some extent by growing his business, Shoen also managed multiple marriages after the death of his first wife from a congenital heart defect, and eventually had a total of 12 children, each of whom he made a stockholder.
Shoen married Suzanne Gilbaugh in 1958, and they had five more children.[5] Shoen divorced Gilbaugh, and married Suzanne Whitmore in 1978 to have one last child.[4] Some observers say that Shoen saw it as his duty to confer upon his children the fruits of his labors, others say it was to avoid taxes. In either case, he had transferred all but 2% of control to his children when two of them, Joe and Mark, launched a successful takeover of the business in 1986.[1]
In the 1960s, Shoen diversified his holdings by creating Amerco Inc., from Advanced Management Engineering and Research Company. He pronounced the acronym, "a miracle."
And to think, the etymology of America is still a matter of theory and conjecture.
It's... a miracle!
I'd call that kind of advanced INTEL, "Sehr schön."
Active duty military plate their vehicles in the state or territory that is their legal residence. I’ve seen Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska plates around Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio
Never thought of that. Thanks.
I rent uhauls here in Washington state and I can tell you there are more people leaving than coming in. Getting harder and harder to find 26 foot trucks. Uhaul is giving big discounts to people who rent one way, say to Montana, if they will ddrive it back to Washington. Obviously if you’re moving to Florida that’s not gonna happen, but some will take the discount and drive it back.
A travel agent friend told me he once had a client who asked him about booking Amtrak to Hawaii.
“May be a franchisee-owned trailer and not corporate-owned.”
Rented the Trailer in Alabama dropped off in Michigan.
I’m retired and live in Texas. I know a local U-Haul manager, so I asked him about a job driving U-Haul trucks and trailers back to California. He said the company does not have a need for that.
I really am surprised. Why not? Seems to me there would be an intense shortage of U-Hauls there.
Good question about people leaving. I have no idea the needs
across the country. I’ve used one a couple to times to move
but never thought about how they keep vehicles apportioned.
North Carolina made it very easy for “undocumented” people to get a license and register a car.
********
Don’t know about the license/registration but I’ve noticed a
lot of migrants are around during crop planting/harvesting
time. Then they disappear over the winter and return in early
spring. I’m amazed that they have that many laborers in the
fields with all the mechanized equipment.
