Some of the tips and tricks I share that will help you with your self move includes;-
how to diy hook up the U-Haul trailer, how to safely load your car to the U-Haul trailer, checking the lights, how to inspect the trailer, the trailer speed limit, your safety and that of other motorist, unexpected change of weather, avoid rental equipment damage control, planning for the long trip, plan to fuel the truck accordingly and return the rental equipment without damage; NOTE( the U-Haul auto transport trailer and the truck can be covered under your auto insurance, but it is good to check your policy coverage before declining the auto insurance offered at the U-Haul store). If you plan your self move well, considering safety first, you will have great move free of hustle.

Thanks for the video! I'm driving a 20' U Haul with my Jeep in tow, plus my dog and my cat in the cabin with me, over 1000 miles by myself this summer, and this video made me feel a lot more confident about tackling this big journey 😊
Awesome I believe you got this piece of cake
Can you please update? How was your move!? Any issues?
This is amazing tutorial. Just wished it came out just before i moved out of my apartment. Well narrated and easy enough steps to follow
Thank you brother, share the video with your buddies might help someone else who is moving.
I’m hauling the same exact size truck and auto transport from Minnesota to Florida ! This was a very valuable video and very timely! Thank you
Am very glad that it was helpful, also please subscribe and share
@@JeffCarbuoy I just did!
How did your move go if you don't mind me asking? Is it hard to drive a moving truck pulling the car in a long drive like that?
Was it hard?
@@jordannsongz It depends. If you have experience driving a larger pick up truck, then you shouldn’t have a problem. However be aware that you probably have one of the longer vehicles in the highway so when you Pass, use your mirrors to the greatest extent!
Thanks man I'm early 20s live 1000 miles from home for work finished uni last year alone, I know no one here. Now I'm moving and this really helps as I have no one else to turn to.

Thank you for your video, very helpful. PCSing.
Make Sure you crossed the left and right side safety chains and the emergency chain does not need to be twisted.
Thank you!!! I'm moving soon for grad school and I need to haul my car along with my stuff. This is so helpful. Also, the ending to your wife was sweet and cute. 😃
She heard you, thank you somuch. We wish you safe move
It's amazing
Headed west to Colorado in a 26' Supermover and trailer. Thanks for the points. I think I'm good with the snow part, but it will be exciting and scary. Thanks for the instructions and video. Best wishes
Can I ask you a question?! We are doing a move with the same combo here next week.. on the trailer it says or more than 55mph… that isn’t serious right? Because the whole way is 70mph ahaha just wanted to see how it went!
@@kennahglass8999 I started out keeping to the speed limit and going over mountains this was perhaps a safe, but not a good choice. We averaged less than 50 and essentially got so delayed we had to take an extra day. I think you can safely push it to 65 so that your average (accounting for stops, refills and other delays) is higher. The mileage apps use an average of over 70, but I think that's wishful thinking, especially towing a car.
Good tutorial
Thank you and hopefully you subscribed
Great video
thanks.
Thanks for the video! Looking at an 800+ mile trip with a 26ft truck and car trailer.
You welcome and all the best on the move
dope 💯
Thanks Hopefully you subscribed
I am helping my daughter move soon and will be driving the same size truck and trailer. I have driven the 15footer before but not with a trailer. I’m a little nervous about finding places with room to pull in to get gas but I suppose if we find truck stops we should be ok. Tighter turns also make nervous but I suppose we will be ok. Thanks for this very useful video!
Hopefully you watched the part where I went to take gas
Great video. Plus you paid respect to your wife 🤙
She totally deserve that credit
Wow 3,000 miles nice!
Am telling you
DOT violation for the twisted chains and not crossing your chains. Just saying lol.
Wished uhaul sells this auto hauler such a great design
Smart
Nice video and tutorial, but you should cross the safety chains and use both attachment points.

thank you! becareful next time. Twisting chains weakens the metal
How would you take care of the slack?

Cross the trailer chains, that way they catch the trailer if it comes off the ball
You should really cross the chains under the tongue of the trailer in doing so should the trailer fall off the crossed chains will prevent the tongue from hitting the ground
I like that idea
So, is it ok to drive in the snow? I'm in North Nevada going West through the Sierra Mountains (I-80) and snow is forecasted soon. A 15' truck and Auto Trailer can do the snow?
BTW good point on "gas tank" @8:40 . Unless you're just in the city, don't let your tank get low on the highways, sometimes you might push it too close.
Yes you can haul through the snow but you will be driving slow with a lot of caution, make sure to have the snow kit(can Google what it entail). If hauling your car with a 15' truck, make sure to research the weight capacity that the truck can haul compare to the weight of your car.
Thank you for watching and hopefully you subscribed.
How much did it cost you for the truck and trailer rental?
I’m so damn nervous. I’m getting a 20 ft and hauling my car on a uhaul trailer I’m so nervous y’all pray for me it’s only an hour and a half drive but my toddler will be in the front seat in a car seat of course but I am very nervous can’t lie
I did 2800 miles for the fast time ever, take courage its do able. God be with you. subscribe as well kindly
how did it go? i’m doing the exact same thing, 12 foot truck with a trailer and my toddler in front
@@JeffCarbuoy thank you I did it guys!!! We are settled in uhauls dropped off safely! Unboxing time!!! Thank god!!
@@gg8723 yes same it’s all good all done my daughter was comfortable it went better then expected and I’m glad for that! Unboxing time!!!
@@vintagevirgo I'm glad to hear it went well! Have a good day.
I'm assuming this was a multiday trip.... Did you do research on the hotels you were planning to stay? Did you check if their parking lot allowed for a big truck with a trailer? How about for gas stations? Could you fit in and out easily or was that challenging? Those are my biggest fears lol, thanks for the video!
We didn't researched for the hotels, we just pulled in any, never had any issue at any point. Always parked in a position that I would not need to back up and confirm with attendants if it was ok to park there. Never plan for gas either, just make sure you have sufficient money for gas n hotels.
Would you say you can move the trailer (without the car on it) by hand, to maneuvar in a tight situation? for example rotating the trailer 180 degrees in a driveway. thank you!
I'm 54 yrs old and in good shape. I did it but would not want to do it again by myself.
Great job brother God bless. Was it hard pulling into gas stations? And how fast did you go on the highway?
Amen thanks.
It wasn't hard. At the beginning of the journey we were doing about 50/55mph but after getting used to the truck and comfy with control, we were doing 65/70 on freeway.
Hopefully you subscribed thanks
@@JeffCarbuoy definitely subscribed 👍🏾
Where do you start your trip from? And where did you move to?
Northern NY to western WA
Sorry if I missed it. What size truck is in this video?
It was either 22 or 24 can't remember exactly
Liked because you said you love your wife so much
Thank you and absolutely she my number one support.
Hopefully you subscribed as well
Hi Jeff great video. I have a question, did you stay in motels? If so where are you worried about someone stealing your truck or breaking into it?
@George Spriggs hey. Yes we did stay in several motels on the way, I wasn't worried, I made sure I locked the truck back and front doors, also make sure you park in the camera coverage of the motel.
Subscribe as well n thank you for support.
@@JeffCarbuoy just subscribed
@@gspriggs Thank you brother
On average, what was your mpg? I might be doing this in the next few weeks and curious. Thanks
10-15 mpg rough estimate
Thank you for this video, sir. We are planning on moving 800 miles away and were considering a U-haul trailer for our vehicle. I had a few questions if you are able to answer them:
1. How do you secure the vehicle when you stop for food/rest?
2. How difficult is it to drive a U-Haul with a trailer?
3. Is the trailer hitched to the truck at the pick-up location by the employees, or is that the customer's responsibility?
Will start with 3. You can have them do it for you while explaining that's how I did it.
2. Not very difficult but be cautious the turning are not gonna be the same as the track alone, so pre calculate before you get in tight spots 😉
1. Question unclear, didn't understand
@@JeffCarbuoy Thanks for your quick response during this Christmas season. I was referring to leaving the truck unattended while stopping for food or perhaps staying in a hotel. My concern is that the truck would pose as a juicy target for would-be thieves.
@@nottelling4828 I had bout a lock for that purpose, and keep every door locked. and if you can pack where there is a camera
Can you put a ram 1500 on that trailer ?
Check the weight limits for the trailer or ask them (uhaul) compare with the weight of you car
Do you have a "tips and Tricks" video on actually driving such a large vehicle while towing such a heavy load ???
I haven't done such a video, looks like you are giving me a video idea
@@JeffCarbuoy I hope so.... I like your presentation.
How does it drive on the snow ?
It did just fine, had to drive a bit slow so be patient with it.
And never stand in front of the car as it is being loaded onto the trailer.
Does U-Haul not help with getting your car on the trailer? I was under the impression that this is something that they would help with when picking it up.
Yes they do help, and they did but had to off load it to load the truck, and use car to learn my errands
Safety? that left turn 9:17 was not safe at all lol. drive safe buddy
U-haul has their own video, but it lacks a visual of what the auto transport (or tow dolly) is connected to. I needed to know if their large trucks had a hitch, cause their website only mentions connecting this to a trailer. Thank you.
BTW, in what month did you travel?
If you go to rent their equipment they can show you how to and where to connect
it was on the end of October
@@JeffCarbuoy I have yet to get an online quote, but would you say the Tow Dolly is cheaper than the Auto Transport? Why go with one over the other, I'm not sure of the comparative benefits besides one keeping the vehicle off the road entirely.
@@TheRedGameboy I choosed this to save my car tires, and also peace of mind I guess
I have a question and I don't know if it's a good idea but I'm planning on moving with a 10-feet u-haul truck with my car in the trailer and my wife following me on her car from western New York to Texas, what I need is an advice. Is it a good idea to move in January (winter)?
You are on the east coast, so I don't see much of an issue, just make sure that the 10 ft truck towing capacity is good for your vehicle weight.
I’m a Texan and we are more likely to get ice in March.
what was the size of this truck ? which foot ?
This was 20ft
What size truck was this?
22ft
Any issues getting in and out of gas stations?
no issues at all
What was your average MPH ?
55-60MPH
How easy was it to get into and out of gas stations and hotel parking lots?
Its super easy, just anticipate from a distance for the angle, always park in a way that won't require to back up.
@@JeffCarbuoy Thanks Jeff
What size truck is this 20ft
20ft
Is this a 20 ft or 26 ft truck?
20 ft
Did you ever need to turn on the haul/towing button in the truck?
I don't think I remember turning it on
@@JeffCarbuoy okay we are traveling from houston to seattle area with the same set up
@@JoseMartinez-og2pb Welcome to evergreen state, wishing you the best trip. Also consider subscribing
@@JoseMartinez-og2pb I'm getting ready to make this drive from San Diego to the Seattle area.
Is it hard to drive?
Not really, but got be extra precautious on corners
Was it stable on the highway? and what was your speed in the highway?
Very stable on all the roads conditions, speed varied due to snow at sone point, between 45 and 70 mph.
Super helpful thanks
Thanks, subscribe as well and share
Lets see you load a low riding BMW on that trailer. 🤣
Oh yeah?🙃
It's not the 1st 50 000 miles😃😃but first 50miles 7:54
