My poor Parents were packing up and moving after 27 years at their house, they were scared and nervous. Since my husband is a mover he offered to pack them up and move them.
We went to Budget on the day of the move, saw two brand new shiny 24 foot trucks out front. My husband and friend who was helping were out front admiring the nice new trucks. The guy at the counter could see them looking at the new trucks. It took a while to get the paper work done because even though my father had reserved blankets, they didn't have any (well they did but they gave ol' dad a hard time. The second my father signed all the paper work (on the day of the move they had to be out the next day), he led them all around back to a nasty "yellow" truck.
Needless to say everyone was shocked! They advertise these new trucks and pawn off these hell wagons on unsuspecting customers. The tires were slashed, the supposedly "senior mechanic", assured the guys that he had checked the truck out and it was perfectly fine. They don't give out the new trucks for long distance moves, only local, but this monstrosity would get them from the Bay Area to San Diego "no problemo". Now does that make sense? Move farther get the less dependable, crummy old truck?
So the guys, and my parents, left with no other choice take this thing, and proceed to pack it.
