U-Haul, founded in 1945 by WWII Navy veteran L.S. "Sam" Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen, began out of necessity for one-way DIY moving solutions across the U.S. and Canada. Headquartered in Phoenix, AZ since 1967, U-Haul is the holding company under U-Haul International. As a trailblazer in the industry, U-Haul offers a vast selection of DIY moving equipment and services including truck and trailer rentals, self-storage units, portable containers (U-Box), trailer hitches installation, and propane refilling stations. Their services are characterized by a wide-spread availability thanks to a network of over 20,000 dealers across North America, embodying U-Haul's mission to serve the DIY mover by providing extensive equipment and convenience readily accessible online and in-person. Over the decades, U-Haul has evolved to include climate-controlled storage options and innovative online systems like Truck Share 24/7, significantly enlarging its customer base and geographical footprint. The crawl was successful as it provided comprehensive historical and operational data about the company.

If you’re moving across state lines, you likely need to hire a moving company with a VALID USDOT license. This licensing information comes from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and applies to a moving company's ability to perform a long distance INTERstate move (for example: from California to Texas). If your move crosses state lines within the same commercial zone, or metropolitan area (for example: DC to Alexandria, VA), it is generally not considered an interstate move and a moving company may not need an "Active" license from FMCSA to perform this type of move. INTRAstate moves (within the same state or city) are regulated by state and local jurisdictions and licensing requirements vary according to locale.Authorized
