LAREDO, Texas -- Edelmiro Martinez, owner of E&G Martinez Properties Ltd. in Laredo, Texas, recently added U-Haul truck and trailer rentals to the gas station business he has been operating since April 2011.
Families needing moving services now will have increased convenience and availability. E&G Martinez Properties now offers its customers a variety of moving equipment and supplies designed specifically for moving household furnishings, including moving vans, open trailers, closed trailers, furniture pads, appliance dollies, furniture dollies, tow dollies and [image-nocss] auto transports.
It also will offer sales items to protect their customers' belongings and make moving easier, such as heavy-duty boxes, which are made of up to 90% recycled content and are available in a variety of sizes.
"My business is in an area that U-Haul wasn't serving," Martinez said. "This location will allow our customers to save time and money when using our services."
Michael Whittington, president, U-Haul Co. of Corpus Christi, Texas, said, "U-Haul is proud to be partnering with a quality independent business such as E&G Martinez Properties Ltd. Edelmiro is a great example of the type of successful business relationship U-Haul has established in order to build and maintain a strong network of more than 15,000 independent dealers across North America."
Since 1945, U-Haul has served the do-it-yourself mover, with a network of more than 16,300 locations in all 50 States and 10 Canadian provinces. It maintains a large rental fleet with approximately 104,000 trucks, 80,000 trailers and 36,000 towing devices. U-Haul offers more than 406,000 rooms and 36 million square feet of storage space at nearly 1,100 owned and managed facilities throughout North America.
