Hello from Boston!


We ordered a 14' U-Haul online. Found out we got assigned a 17' (cause there was a shortage).

Then they said they didn't know where our truck was!  It was suppose to be returned in some town up north and the people said they did, but the U-Haul place had no record of it. Fabulous.  So Tim's mama (as well as the rest of us) called around and managed to find a cancellation.  We were sure the chances of U-Haul getting us out of town anytime soon was slim, so we took it.

Behold...

... the massive 26' Penske.  (Source)

Yes, a 26 foot truck with WAY more room than we needed.  But it was a truck, it transported our stuff to Boston, James (Tim's brother who drove it the whole way) didn't hit anything or anyone, and Tim got to his first day of work with 1.5 days to spare.  God is good.  :]

  1. John said....Did U-Haul give you any money since they didn't have your truck? I know here they have signs saying something like "we'll pay you $50 if the truck you ordered isn't ready"..although $50 probably doesn't come close to covering the hassle.
