U-Haul has been serving the DIY moving community since its inception in 1945 by L.S. "Sam" Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen. Founded after World War II, the company innovated the one-way rental of moving equipment and trailers as a solution for the mobility of populations across North America. It is part of a larger corporate structure, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona but operates locations across the U.S. and Canada. Services include rental of trucks and trailers, self-storage facilities, and providing moving supplies and labor through their online platform. The extensive network of 20,000 neighborhood dealers ensures a wide-ranging service coverage. U-Haul differentiates itself with a commitment to convenience, embodied in their Truck Share 24/7 service allowing the full inventory to be accessible anytime. They also offer unique historical insights into the company as part of their branding, utilizing their equipment for public education via their SuperGraphics campaigns. This approach not only fosters customer engagement but also educates the public about their service range and history.

If you’re moving across state lines, you likely need to hire a moving company with a VALID USDOT license. This licensing information comes from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and applies to a moving company's ability to perform a long distance INTERstate move (for example: from California to Texas). If your move crosses state lines within the same commercial zone, or metropolitan area (for example: DC to Alexandria, VA), it is generally not considered an interstate move and a moving company may not need an "Active" license from FMCSA to perform this type of move. INTRAstate moves (within the same state or city) are regulated by state and local jurisdictions and licensing requirements vary according to locale.Authorized

- 5. Stick to Prices
Was a lowball quote provided to earn business only to see the final moving day price increase substantially?
- 6. Speed
