Has no one on here figured out that they were trying to save wear and tear on the U-haul with the Tercel. It was in drive engine running and a driver in it to help navigate turns better, and help with the braking.

Guess if you had a solid national health plan, you might be inclined to take some foolish risks....

Bridge loans allow you to buy another property before closing on the existing one

But they won't help if your current property needs to be moved out by a certain date and you wait Tull the day itself to begin moving.

I think in Ky you are allowed to tow two trailers. i have seen pickup pulling camper pulling boat. I think the major rule is max 65' length--and no desire to ever back up I guess. since my truck and trailer are around 51' all lashed up, I can still tow 14' of whatever behind the trailer (like that's gonna happen, do I look stupid(don't answer!)).

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 know it's off topic but why on earth would you close on a house with your stuff still in it?

When I buy a house I take possession at closing and I do a walk through before I go to the title company. The house is vacant and the key gets given to the realtor. I sign, funds are transferred and i get the keys. If your stuff is in the house at walk through, there is no closing.

I've rented from U-haul numerous times with out an issue. Never long haul, only local stuff. Folks moved from Miami to Los Angeles back in 70's. The breaks on the double axle trailor behind the U haul truck locked and caught fire. They got it out. POIA to get it repaired and back on the road. Their biggest grip was the small fuel tank. They figured out how to over ride the governor.

Then you're either:
(1) Nucking futs
(2) Stupid, see #1
(3) Lacking in quality stuff and you want to use the buyer of your place as a free disposal service

Or Husky's option 4. Blame the truck company for a breakdown while glossing over the fact you waited till closing day to move.
