Business Weekly - "What U-Haul Teaches Us About Housing" (6-23-06)

"You can learn a lot about what market's hot and what's not by looking up how much U-Haul charges for rentals of moving trucks to and from different cities. If U-Haul charges a lot to go to a certain city, it means lots of trucks are heading there. The city is popular and trucks that are leaving it are deadheading--going back empty. On the other hand, U-Haul gives better deals on trucks that are going to unpopular cities, because it needs to get more trucks to those cities to handle outbound trips."

Hmm, this advice sounds familiar.

You can actually check the rates online at www.Uhaul.com. I just did a search for Los Angeles to Denver and the qoute was $2795; Denver to Los Angeles was only $799. the quote for Los Angeles to Dallas was $2,900; it was only $399 from Dallas to Los Angeles.

Really Interesting.
