That's when they tell you either a; move your stuff out of MY house now or b; we'll call the sheriff and he will move them for you.

I don't follow. Why are you forced into that situation? Is it because of YOUR stupidity by leaving everything till the last day or did someone come knocking on your door to tell you that you have to move NOW or else?
Sorry but trucks ARE mechanical and things will go wrong regardless of what you do. I have had my RV blow a fuel line miles away from home. Anything more than 10 miles might as well be 500. I don't know any repair facilities at that point so there it is.
I have rented U-haul many times as have my friends and the worst thing that has happened is the truck had blown a tire. I have rented everything from a motorcycle carrier to the largest truck they have. Could my next time be a disaster? Sure. However, what you seem to be trying to say is that "I had a bad experience therefore U-haul is a bad idea". What I want to know is the percentage of issues not one specific incident. If 20% of their vehicles at any one time have mechanical issues, that is one case. OTOH, if 1 out of 10000 trucks has a problem, well, that is yet another issue.
