WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Alex and Hilda Fernandez, owners of West Palm Chevron in West Palm Beach, Fla., recently added U-Haul truck and trailer rentals to the gas station they have been operating since 1987.
Families needing moving services now will have increased convenience and availability.
West Palm Chevron can now offer 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 auto [image-nocss] transports.
West Palm Chevron 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.
"We were previous U-Haul dealers and had nothing but good experiences," the Fernandezes said. "Foot traffic has already increased since we came back, and we are excited to see the increased income we get by renting U-Haul equipment again."
Cal Conner, president, U-Haul Co. of Eastern Florida, said, "U-Haul is proud to be partnering with a quality independent business such as West Palm Chevron.
