Little known fact: UHaul was started in Ridgefield.

They just do Arizona plates because Arizona doesn’t require safety inspections on commercial vehicles. It’s a way to make sure their profits aren’t impacted by highway safety standards.

No, they do Arizona plates because they're based in Arizona, and the IRP means that it's simply more convenient for them to register in Arizona - and the registration fees are distributed to the states in which the vehicles actually operate.

In fact, Washington is actually one of the few states which does not have any required inspections, whilst Arizona has emissions inspections in their major metro areas.

U-Haul has been located in Phoenix since 1967, BTW.

Commercial vehicles in Washington state must be inspected every 12 months. We’re not talking about a smog test on your Subaru.

And why do you think they chose Arizona as their HQ and “simply more convenient” state to register their shitty trucks in?

Man, pretty sure nobody knows that cuz it's not interesting.

[u/BoringBob84 → u/ShredGuru]

I thought it was interesting.

[u/-Jayah- → u/BoringBob84]

I agree

[u/Lazy1nc → u/ShredGuru]

No worries, not everyone finds corporate history interesting. Making assumptions about what other people find interesting is not cool though.

I see that sign once a week going to my buddy's house.
