New U-Haul Dealer West Oak Storage Reflects Strength of Laurel
LAUREL, MISS. (Aug. 14, 2015) – Joseph Zaydel didn’t want his business to sound cliché, but the name West Oak Storage stemmed from his appreciation for the mighty oak tree. Back when Hurricane Katrina slammed Mississippi, Zaydel said that the only things left standing were oaks.
“Deep-rooted and strong,” Zaydel noted.
To further illustrate West Oak Storage’s ability to stand strong and stand out, Zaydel teamed the industry leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage to complement his business.
West Oak Storage at 5240 Hwy. 84 W. recently signed on as a U-Haul® neighborhood dealer to offer the Laurel community trucks, trailers, towing equipment, support rental items, boxes and after-hours drop-off of equipment for customer convenience.

“We are a full-service storage, moving and shipping facility, with 235 climate- and non-climate-controlled units,” Zaydel said. West Oak Storage offers a UPS certified shipping center.
West Oak Storage opened in January 2015 but Zaydel’s plans to incorporate U-Haul in his business model were in place before then.
“We’re brand new so it takes a little bit of time to get up and running, but basically everything we’ve done we’ve tailored around the customer,” he said. “We are trying to stand out and we are doing it right from the get-go. We will do whatever takes.”
U-Haul Company of Mississippi and West Oak Storage are striving to benefit the environment through sustainability initiatives. Truck sharing is a core U-Haul sustainability business practice that allows individuals to access a fleet of trucks that is larger than what they could access on an individual basis.
Every U-Haul truck placed in a community helps keep 19 personally owned large-capacity vehicles, pickups, SUVs and vans off the road. Fewer vehicles means less traffic congestion, less pollution, less fuel burned and cleaner air.
West Oak Storage is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit photos and learn more.
