U-Haul is family. In many cases, that’s not just figurative talk. Generations of the same families often choose to build careers here, realizing that a personal investment in U-Haul means providing for each other. U-Haul was founded in 1945 by the Shoen family in Ridgefield, Washington. After a year of innovations, the company relocated its headquarters to Phoenix, Arizona. U-Haul helps families move from locations in all 50 states and 13 Canadian Provinces and Territories. Today, U-Haul has grown into more than trucks and trailers, we offer a variety of services such as U-Box, self-storage and Moving Help. When a family entrusts U-Haul and its services with their loved ones and possessions amid the stress and adventure of a move, we embrace that awesome responsibility.

A caring culture means catering to our millions of annual customers. But it also means supporting our thousands of dedicated Team Members.
