Level Up Your Real Estate Business
When it comes to your business, offer your customers everything they need to succeed. That is exactly what Homes of Idaho Real Estate did! They took one of our used trucks and used it to incentivize those who buy or sell with them. According to them, it’s their “way of relieving any stress we can during the process of moving.” Now there’s a way to drive business!
DIY Food Truck Conversions
Food trucks are in! The number of food trucks is rising and gaining popularity in major cities across the US. Converting a U-Haul into a food truck is no small task, but if you have the know-how, U-Haul trucks have the space for that mobile kitchen of your dreams. Just look at how Welding and Stuff transformed one of our trucks and turned it into J. Harvey’s Grill!

Your Very Own Shed
Looking for a practical and versatile storage solution? Consider repurposing a used U-Haul truck into a functional shed!

Remove the truck’s cargo area, add shelving units and hooks for organization, and customize the layout to fit your needs. Whether you need extra storage for tools, equipment, or garden supplies, a shed offers ample space and protection from the elements.
