Have you ever moved, doing it all yourself?
Earlier, I made a reservation for Penske. They were about half the price of U-Haul. Now with U-Haul, I can walk about a half a mile to pick the truck up. U-Haul also has what I always called “Grandma’s Attic” – you know the storage that goes over the cab. I called U-Haul again tonight. They almost matched Penske. Within about $35.
Well, when the light bulb came on today, I should have just turned it right back off. Inching for extra inches, I spent almost 40 minutes on the phone. The poor young lady. She was really nice. But….me….I ask LOTS of questions. Of course, I forgot two of them so I have been trying to call back. I guess they don’t want to talk to me again.
Penske has really nice trucks. But U-Haul almost matched Penske’s price and I get a few more inches. Plus, did I say I can walk to pick up the U-Haul?
Well, because I didn’t ask all the questions I need answers to, I still have two – TWO – truck reservations. Hmmmm….wish I could take both but I have never figured out how to drive two trucks at one time.
Who in San Antonio would like to come help load a truck on August November 6th? (Thanks Robert!) I’m up for making new friends. The sad part will be leaving the new friendships. I will even cook a turkey and have fresh turkey sandwiches for a feed. So, if you like me, don’t like me, need to fulfill community service hours or want to trade work for a turkey sandwich, just send me a comment. All comments have to be approved so if you add personal information, it will be removed by me prior to allowing the comment. In other words, I won’t share your personal information.
