In the video the end of the loading ramp was a couple inches below the floor of the truck, it can easily be moved up to the floor height of the truck by pulling the ramp all the way out then lift up to the floor height where the ramp can connect and create a smooth level walk way in and out of the truck. Helps eliminate tripping hazard and easier for the Dolly to roll in and out of the truck.
Love these videos. These Uhaul videos help to calm people's anxiety about driving these things. I know watching a similar video helped me when I was about to drive from Georgia to Texas. Great job!
We’re moving 400 miles away next Feb. Most videos I’ve watched were smaller homes with not nearly as much stuff as I have. I really appreciated seeing how the 26 ft truck fit your stuff. And with kids!!! I’ve got 3 and I’m stressing an ulcer lol
Yeah, moving is a big pain. I hope we never have to do it again. Lol. We got 3 kids, too. We ended up traveling on our minivan to close and move to the new house. Then I flew back to Nashville, had a few friends help me load up the U-Haul and then I drove by myself.
I'm getting ready to the reverse trip. From the San Antonio area to Missouri. Traffic here is terrible. After 24 years, I'm done. So I-35 North, Dallas, Texarkana, Little Rock, West Memphis, then I-35 North. Will be a 26-foot Penske. Thanks for the video. I need some confidence.
I drove through Dallas and Austin and got nervous with the heavy traffic along I-35. But as long as you stay on your lane, anticipate when you make your turns and leave ample space for turning, you'll be good.
I was in a wreck in this size uhaul yesterday young lady was speeding while the person driving was Turning slammed right into us truck was barely damaged but was at the same at the same other car was totaled air bags deployed
Welcome to Texas! I have been here 50 out of 60 years, it's a great place to live, raise kids, save a lot of money. Retirement now, moving to North Carolina in the next month or so.
On my trip from Florida to Reno Nevada I had a 72 Jeep Cherokee in the front end of a 26 ft box truck and was hauling a four-wheel drive Dodge Dakota on a auto hauler to answer your question the posted speed limit, but the max limit with a auto hauler or tow dolly is 55 per u haul. Good luck
@CluelessintheUS Dang that's cheap!! Before taxes and gas, going roughly the same distance as you and also using a 26ft truck, ours is going to be over $2K!! Edit: After gas and taxes, it'll probably be close to 3K!
I don't understand the big deal with this. I drove the very same truck with an auto hauler on the back. From Jacksonville, Florida to Reno nevadai'm sure people have traveled all away from New York to California in these things. What's the big deal about this video ?
Very happy for you all to achieve your milestone in home ownership. Glad your wife was able to help you unload. Blessings!
Thanks so much
Wow you drove that far alone, glad you had a safe trip.

I’m about to drive from NY to FL with a uhaul truck for the first time a little over 1000 miles on the road in July I’m excited!
Awww, CONGRADULATIONS! Your new home is beautiful!

@@CluelessintheUS OK, thanks, I won't get in a hurry. Correction: West Memphis, then I-55 (the double nickel), north to Missouri.
the traffic in dallas is horrible no matter what time you go through it

Central TX is probably the best part of the state. Hope you like it.
If you don't want the truck stolen disconnect the ground on the battery...
Seems like your first experience was a good one. Tip for the future, you can hire loaders/unloaders.
You think he didn't know that?

Thanks! Enjoy retirement in North Carolina.
I moved all of my belongings in a mini cooper top that
I guess you never figured out the ramp hook on to the loading floor.
Thanks for the video...I need to be more precise
Steering wheel device can be cut off with hacksaw..😅
Congratulations, happy family.
God bless you 🙏.
How many miles did that truck give you per gallon.?
Did your truck have a cruise control?
Hi. Thanks for the video, how you paid the tools when you rent a u haul truck ? Tha k you
How did you have to pay for that U-haul truck?
Hi Sir,i saw your latest vlog.I just want to ask some questions about R1 visa if your have time.thanks…
Is it safe to load a car in the back of the u-hual truck without a tow dolly.If so what's the fastest you can drive ?

Did you have to stop at any weigh stations?
No I did not. Although this truck is big, I think it's not considered commercial truck, but more of a consumer truck. I could be wrong, though.
They don't need to. I know this because my husband is an OTR trucker and he's also driven a ton of U-hauls over the years.
it’s guaranteed to be under 26,000 pounds so no you don’t
How much was the total on the uhaul?
It was about $1,500 from Nashville to San Antonio including gas.

There is no big deal. It's just a vlog and for many people it's the biggest vehicle they'll drive. You're the one who made a big deal
Hi there did u need to stop at weight stations?
@@cheynefourie364 no
@@CWFerbo Yes you do in certain states...
I am freaked out about turns with a car transport and a 26’ truck. But going for it ntl.
