U-Haul
U-Haul is an American moving equipment and storage rental company, based in Phoenix, Arizona,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U-Haul Co. of Arizona : Private Company Information - Businessweek )〕 that has been in operation since 1945. The company was founded by Leonard Shoen (L. S. "Sam" Shoen) in Ridgefield, Washington, who began it in the garage owned by his wife's family, and expanded it through franchising with gas stations.
==Overview==
U-Haul is owned by AMERCO, a holding company which also operates Amerco Real Estate, Republic Western Insurance, and Oxford Life Insurance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=amerco.com )〕 The Shoen family currently owns about 55% of the publicly traded stock corporation.〔(CL King's 11th Annual Best Ideas Conference 2013 )〕 The company rents trucks, trailers, and other pieces of equipment, but many U-Haul centers and dealerships also provide self storage units, LPG (propane) refueling, hitch and trailer wiring installation, and carpet cleaners, among other services.
Because of the company's ubiquity (there are over 16,000 active dealers across the country〔) the name is sometimes used as a genericized trademark to refer to the services of any rental company. The livery used on rented vehicles is widely recognized, primarily consisting of white and a thick horizontal orange stripe, in addition to a large state- or province-themed picture, known as SuperGraphics.
