I noticed semi-truck trailers are usually tagged in Indiana.
Damn! Another pretty decent article for CNN. I only found one sentence to quibble about.
“When you register your passenger car, you usually pay a small license plate fee”
My guess is there are many Americans across this dying nation that would dispute that “small license plate fee”.
I am more interested in the PRICE of moving from one state to another. This tells me what states Americans are moving TO and OUT OF.
In other words and as an example, what is the price of moving FROM New York to Florida and Vice Versa?
A lot of rental cars have Florida plates because Florida has no state inspection requirement
I saw a car with Puerto Rico license plates here in PA a few weeks back. Still scratching my head over that one.
Also, you see a lot of trailers of all sizes that are registered in Maine. There must be some benefit to that.
Im currently living in an rv park in arizona but half of the year I live in South dakota.
A lot of the RVs here have SD plates but the owners just register there because of how cheap the plates are
Reminds me I need to file IFTA before 4/30.
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."
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.
