Utility Trailer RentalUtility Trailer RentalUtility trailers have a long and rich history in the United States. The reason for the popularity of utility trailers has a lot to do with the fact that we’re a mobile nation; we’re always on the go. Whether it be going away to college; buying your first house; moving into a better apartment across town; moving back to your worse apartment once you’ve realized the better apartment was way too expensive; taking grandpa up to the nursing home or moving clear across country with your new girlfriend after divorcing your husband of 30 years, we all like to get up and go. Utility trailer rental was brought about in California in the late 1940’s. California as the spot for utility trailers to gain prominence is sort of appropriate seeing that the great unexplored west is where our fascination with moving about came from. The romance of Cowboys & Indians really caught our imagination and took us out from ourselves into the wild sweeping landscape of the mind and our own fantasies. A man named L.S. Schoen was the founder of U-Haul and is credited with giving organization to the rather haphazard rental of utility trailers. He ran a service which started with a single “2.00/day” utility trailer and spawned into a billion dollar business. If you want to rent a utility trailer today all you need to do is open up the phone book, drive on down to your local rental center, even dial up your hardware store on the internet; they may even deliver! But think about how it was 70 years ago. What did people do when they wanted to move across country? The instillation of the highway system really had a lot to do with the need for trailers, but honestly they should have gotten the idea on the Oregon Trail. I mean, all these people die because taking everything and everyone together just didn’t make much sense. If there’d been a U-Haul and I-80 (or, I guess in California I-5) they would have been able to cruise and none of that drama from the trail would have seeped into the consciousness of the earliest PC’s. Anyway, the thing about utility trailers is that they were a good thing. Utility trailer and RV rentals have gone hand in hand for years; and I’m thankful. Those folks from the trail needed some help; that’s what I’m glad we can all be here to do today; help people who’ve been dead for hundreds of years.
