U haul trailer driver#

You know what I mean, checking lug nuts, tire pressure, brakes, safety chains, and checking for any damage to the trailer. I am sure that they have requirements for routine care and maintenance of the equipment, like checking trailers in when they arrive at their final destination, or at least I hope they do. I don’t want to say anything derogatory about U Haul in general. I hope they are better at repairing vehicles than they are at renting trailers. Their primary business was automotive repair and I am guessing they got in the rental business to make a quick buck. I won’t say who or where it was that this happened, we’ll just call it small town USA. I’m sure some rental companies are much more professional and knowledgeable than others are, but the company I rented from has no business renting anything. I personally don’t know what the U Haul corporate office guidelines are for its satellite companies that actually rent trucks and trailers, but my experience renting a trailer wasn’t very good. I am using U Haul because they are to trailer rentals what Xerox is to copy machines. Well, recently I had the opportunity to experience the trailer rental process first hand. It makes one wonder if U Haul trailers and the companies that rent them are safe.

The trailer started swaying and the driver didn’t know what to do, the vehicle was under-rated for the loaded trailer weight, the tire came off while traveling down the highway, or the safety chains weren’t connected. It seems like every time I turn around I read about an accident involving a rented U Haul trailer.
