Bob,

What an interesting job you have! Funny, I don't see the materials headaches, busted deliveries, employee difficulties, equipment breakdowns, Carl Icahn, and other challenges in the video.

Nice job. Have had good luck with U-Haul trailers tracking right behind me over the years.

Best,

Carey

Very nice Bob. Thanks for sharing.

I always wondered why the trailers were stickered with 45 mph speed limit? I don't think anyone follows that.

pretty neat.

question if you want to answer... Uhaul is the only one of it's kind that builds their own equipment in house?

I always remember feeling guilty, the day I used a appliance dolly my now ex-brother in law, that was stamped "this can be designated as uhaul property by it's design characteristics alone"

I would like to see more videos of prototype design ideas failing, that were not used in production.

I have a U Haul Dolly. Found it on the street, called Uhaul and they told me to keep it. Renter would be charged for it. It was BRAND NEW.

Do they still Disallow Ford Explorer Owners from renting trailers?

I couldn't get the U-Haul information. All I get is a thing to install Microsoft Silverlight or something like that. Couldn't find a way to bypass it.

We currently allow the 2011 and newer ones--that's a long story:)
