By implementing U-Haul programs, I am confident he will be successful."

Rowland says that the team members throughout U-Haul Company of North Texas are young and very energetic, characteristics he believes will help them really “wow” U-Haul customers, and ultimately lead toward the growth of overall profits. He is eager for the opportunity to increase his storage occupancy as well as his U-Box business, and plans do so by focusing on, following, managing and executing company policy and procedure as efficiently and economically possible. While striving to increase overall profits, Rowland also hopes to develop and maintain a successful team attitude throughout U-Haul Company of North Texas.

It is group effort, and teamwork will bring us to the top.”
