This is definitely true, but as a former truck owner, I can tell you that's not how it works at all.
"Hey, man, I really need some help moving, can you bring your truck over, I'll have pizza and beer!"
Not to mention the rent-a-truck is pretty new. Yes, UHaul and the others exist, but they don't compete with "oh yeah, I know a guy with a truck."
- acdha 4y agoOh, I’m not saying it doesn’t happen but the people I knew with these luxury trucks didn’t want to get them scuffed up. The old pickup I used to have was perfect for that but it was like half the weight, too, so I’d use that as an argument that most people are fine with what used to be normal sized trucks. The problem with the pizza and beer approach is that it only works for short moves - if you have anything like a substantial drive it’s a lot easier to rent a U-Haul so you can make one trip rather than multiplying time in traffic by half a dozen trips.
