U-Haul
DIY relocation fleet
U-Haul is an American company that rents trucks, trailers, and moving equipment for do-it-yourself moves.
The name has become nearly synonymous with self-service moving in the United States, appearing as a common noun in phrases like rent a U-Haul or pack up the U-Haul.
In lesbian slang, U-Haul refers to the stereotype of moving in together very quickly: It was a total U-Haul situation—they were living together after two weeks.
