I don't mean to digress this thread too much but I will have to point out that U-Haul drivers are amongst the most dangerous on the roads. This is simply because of vehicle unfamiliarity. Oftentimes it's the first time the driver has had any exposure to a vehicle of such size, weight and class. While this can be true of any rental vehicle, it's especially so for those behind the wheel of a U-Haul. I know I was particularly worried when I rented one and I tried a couple of common maneuvers in an empty parking lot before loading it up but nevertheless I would never come close to claiming I was a qualified driver of such a vehicle.
