So im down here in south florida helping my girlfriend move into a new apartment over on the west coast of florida...
We go over to the local U-Haul to pick up the 14-foot truck we reserved last week. We walk in to the store and overhear the manager telling a insanely preverted joke to his workers while they cursed up a storm about how nasty it was. Anyway, we walk up to him and tell him we had a reservation. First thing is says is... Good thing you guys got here when ya did, we got another guy who reserved that truck to go to Orlando and you made it in first. We should have walked away that moment....
20 minutes later after dealing with the idiot store manager (who basically refused to speak to my girlfriend about the truck and only to me, even though she was renting it) and his utter jackass lackees (most of whom had more gold in their teeth than actual teeth) we left in the truck....
About 3-4 miles (5-10 minutes) after we left the U-Haul store, i see my girlfriend make a VERY wide left turn without the blinker on... Im wondering what she could be doing.... Turns out the freakin truck died, 10 minutes after we picked it up. So we call the idiot store manager from the location we just rented the truck from and he rudely says "I cant help ya... Heres a 800 number" and hangs up.
2 hours later the truck a mechanic showed up and we were on our way....
This is the LAST time i ever use that flaming pile of terd to move. Their trucks smell like crap, run like crap, break down all the time (my friend Brian had his U-Haul die on I-95 one day), and their employees are rude and obnoxious.
Just a FYI, if your moving... DO NOT USE U-HAUL!
P.S. - Penske trucks always seem brand new, so i tend to try and use them whenever i need em. For some reason though, Penske wanted to charge $799 for a one-way rental, whereas U-Haul only charged us $160.
