I'm told that some U-Haul outlets are company shops and that some are
franchise outlets (as told to me by a gas station operator who was
bitching about how the company-owned shops dump all the junky trucks on
the franchise shops). That might explain the difference in policy
enforcement: The company employees stick to policy because they want to
keep their jobs, the franchise operators rent to whoever will pay them
money.

Guess I can lose the various pictures of the numerous trailers my
roomate and I pulled behind our Miata's. Mostly from Tampa to Deal's
Gap and back, then moving to Knoxville.... and taking bikes back down
(enclosed trailers) to Florida...

It's kind of funny at times when you have two heavy jet-ski's behind a
'93 Miata.. 2,200lb car pulling about 1,600lbs from Tampa to TN up
through winding mountain roads. Never did have a problem with it.
