U-Haul Moving & Storage at I-10 & Beltway 8

Rented a truck to do a quick one day gig in Austin. U-​Haul has the most competitively priced truck rentals so I hopped over. So, the day I pick up the rental the guy lost my reservation… but he played it off by refilling out the paperwork in just a few minutes. Unlucky for me this whole situation set me back almost 45 minute, and to boot, the truck wasn’t prepped and I had to go all the way to the back of the property to get it.
As I was driving I kept hearing this annoying buzzing sound from the driver side seat belt. I was buckled in but it kept buzzing. Can this be true??? Not only was the reservation botched but now I have a faulty sensor? There was no way I was going to spend the day in a car that every five minutes makes a buzzing sound… Turns out I was just dumb and I had buckled into the wrong seat buckle (it was the middle seat buckle… yeah, I felt dumb.
The truck drove well. I learned a couple of things:
— The only trucks that have ramps are 14 footers or larger ($ 29.95)
— There is a gauge that estimates MPG (miles per gallon) which is useful as heck when its a 37 gallon tank and can take up to $ 200 to full up.
— It’s $ 0.69 per mile… no per day allowance (which is what you give up when you get a great per day rental rate)
— Moving stuff sucks even more when its 100 degrees outside
— Just because they say there is a third jump seat in the middle doesn’t mean it is just as comfortable as the other seats… because its not unless you are a child or are very small.
When I returned the truck the next day the manager gave me a break on returning the truck the following day. I apparently drove 375 miles. Not so bad.
