So the customer will reserve the truck, then if it's not availible when the customer gets to the location.The customer then cancels, and they get a $50.00 cancellation fee. This company should be put out of business, and anyone who supports their ethics of business, should be held just as accountable!!My husband and I put a law suite on them, becouse they owed us overtime, and had us thinking all alone that we were salary employees, when we finally found out we wern't. We asked for our overtime pay, and got fired.We had an iron clad lawsuite for retaluation, that is unheard of the company (any company winning) however, guess what U-haul won!!Even the judge was surprized.It was a trail with a jury.Sounds like someone was payed off somewhere doesn't it?? To this day, I wish U-haul would get wiped off the map.I don't usually wish any ill harm for anyone, or any business. However, in this case even though I'm not wishing for anyone to be physically hurt. I do wish that every piece of equipment they have, would go to ruins.Due to the fact, that they not only hurt me, and my husband. My children suffered as well.Lawsuites are long,time consuming, money consuming, and a whole lot of other things rolled up into one..MY SUGGESTION TO ANYONE, WHO WANTS TO EITHER RENT, OR WORK FOR U-HAUL.BEWARE!!!!!

I have not had to do it too often however. It always helps if you have friends and family to help. Together, you can make it fun. Moving can be a pain. I have not had to do it too often however.
