How 2 Brothers Made U-Haul Successful By Scamming Their Father

Nothing can prepare you for the shocking story behind U-Haul.
Filled with lies, murder, harassment, greed, a staged coup and much more, the history behind this company is definitely a wild ride.

This is absolutely worthy of a movie.

[@andr3w_496]

Agreed.

[@GAURAV25855ify]

For sure what about the murdocks

[@charleshall9488]

Yes

[@hubertdeyette5070]

I agree with you

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

@@GAURAV25855ify The Murdocks are probably worth an after school special…… Not much more.

[@mr.hanger]

This actually makes me glad I grew up blue collar with a strong love for family. I can't imagine something like this happening between my father and I while he was still living. Thanks, Pops!.

[@annwilliams6438]

He has 13 kids and doesn’t think there is going to be hassles…

[@LKre-vi5oq]

Exactly.

[@faithingod9554]

Too many kids is the problem

[@MLGtroll365]

Thinking with his dck 😂😂 kids might be a good thing but f that

[@MLGtroll365]

​@@faithingod9554to many sons!!

[@SpdyMarun44.1]

On goddddd 😤

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

It is better to have a happy family with a problematic business than the other way around.

[@tomasacevedo3095]

The problem was that as father gave everything to his kids.

[@MichaelMulin]

100%. Can’t put a price on mental stability and inner peace. Sadly many families I know of don’t have a business or peace. Pray for my family please, we are going through very tough times right now. God bless you ❤

[@terrallputnam7979]

What a terrible situation. The love of money is the root of all evil. The Bible makes it clear.

[@davidpeterson5930]

Their savings of $5,000 in 1945 has the same buying power of over $84,000 today

This is even worse that the Gucci family story.

[@markdwighttadina7655]

With a twist ala Menendez Brothers

[@andrewcastillo3093]

Tell me bout it

[@chrisreynolds2410]

What’s that story

[@TheModernPainter]

@@chrisreynolds2410 it's a long story and cutting to the chase is impossible

[@chrisreynolds2410]

I’ll search it out…thanks yoooooo Does LSA mean you have that engine? I gotta cammed LS6.

[@MondoBeno]

This is why Andrew Carnegie vowed not to leave the business to his wife and daughter.

[@LKre-vi5oq]

Except in this case it was his scummy sons who destroyed everything.

[@SuperFrank6666]

I worked for U Haul for 16 years and saw this first hand. I was laid off and offered my job back a year and day after my layoff at HALF pay.

[@chevyhead7274]

Sounds about corporate America

[@Joshua-uq2pn]

As long as the money flows in, they don't care who they hurt or what they effect.

[@chrissantos1379]

Worked there for 10 years. Should've spent my time elsewhere. Complete waste of time.

Not cool.

Man I never expected u haul to be a tragic parody of game of throne

[@kevinluschak5241]

Greed will destroy anyone even family!

[@LionheartedDan]

What a sordid tale - it reminds me of the Walt Disney family story. It’s clear that ambition and “success” doesn’t rid us of our demons; God have mercy!

[@jefeking2117]

Wow one of the greatest ideas destroyed a family being a father is a thankless job but he literally gave them everything no good deed

[@p2a0p2e0r1]

This is why you don't give your kids anything. You either let them earn it or let them create their own.

[@bobmahnamahknob]

I had to sue this shady business for several thousand dollars.

[@justincooper5189]

I bet those two are responsible for the death of that woman. Of course they are going to deny. No one wants to go to prison when they are making that much money. Deny, deny, deny. Guaranteed,if it got investigated today, there would be a whole different outcome.

[@chibitsubaki271]

That was a darker story... 😢

[@Leto85]

What a sad story. And all of that over greed.

[@frankmckinley1254]

Glad I didn't take the U-Haul job back in the day.😨🤑

[@daskritterhaus5491]

after a few interactions with U-haul my opinion became 'what an unreliable mess starting with reservation process'

[@Daidoro]

This is so scary AND horrible at the same time...! 😨😨😨

[@jamielancaster01]

I’ve used U-Haul since the early 80’s and I’ve never heard of these people.

[@sv6306]

you have probably never heard of Trump doing anything bad either

THERES HAS TO BE A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH YOU CAN REPRODUCE YOURSELF….

[@DennisSullivan-om3oo]

Wow! I can't believe I've never heard of any of this.

[@mariosorrenti482]

Now UHaul just has renters arrested for switching plates...then the co. Takes their stuff

[@superflip1729]

Yeah because you can’t change the license plate, it’s not considered your property

[@commenter621]

Why they got to do the dog like that 😞

[@adrianmobley6805]

How did they "scam" their father? They just got rid of him and were pretty straightforward. They certainly betrayed the father, however.

[@pkmnan00bis]

LS stepped down on the condition that Sam stay as CEO; a promise Joe and Mark had no intention on keeping.

[@larrybaygaming]

Their tactics was about as straightforward as pride month 😂

[@michaeltaylor4271]

That’s sad.. it really is sad when people greed gets to them this badly..

[@princessmarlena1359]

My siblings and I had our differences while growing up, but things were never this bad. What a shame!

[@raptorskilltor4554]

This is like game of throne but with uhaul as the throne

[@stickynuggz9496]

I learned something new today. Thanks brether!

[@XLessThanZ]

This family is brutal, even on each other. Maybe Steve Wallis better stop using their vans in a way they say not to on the contract.🤪

You're right about that! 😳

[@victorcontreras9138]

The book called Birth right pretty much covers the U-Haul family we were never allowed to talk about it

[@tashalynn29]

I'll look it up

[@wetoolow8750]

I remember reading about a lot of this back in the early 1990s in the Los Angles Times.

I was 3 in 1990 and too young to remember what I was doing when it was published 🤷‍♂️

[@gulfy09]

​@@JakeStewart1343 well then grow up. Lol

[@terryjohnson8317]

There was a Ford dealer in Mesa Az that was the number one Ford truck dealer for many years because all the U-Haul trucks were Fords and bought through that dealers fleet Department.

[@barryspaar3538]

Has a book ever been made in this?? It would be a great read.

[@mikep4823]

Every unit plated in Arizona so no yearly inspections need to be done. Rented a car dolly last year tires bald told the desk clerk he looked at me as in who cares loll. They have no maintenance on their rentals and if they do its very minimal at best.

[@chrisnewton9325]

Great story.

[@NorthernChev]

13 kids… I’m pretty sure, by 1957 science had figured out what causes kids. Jayzus.

[@1KingCoop]

This is like a real life version of the TV show Dallas.

[@the_kombinator]

I remember when U haul trucks were awful. Now they're pretty OK for the most part.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

Oh it's not the first evil people the public has made rich by buying what they was selling. But they surely seem evil. Family doesn't have to mean something for you to be a good person, but they shouldn't be your biggest enemies. I'll never go to U Haul.

[@cuckerdoddle183]

This is very sad, when money is involved it brings out the worst in people

in other words dont f*** with uhaul or ur next

[@szk4023]

Had he not given any shares to his children, there wouldn't have been any trouble. He should have waited until he chose to retire. Plus, what's up with all these children LOL?! Looks like he was an absentee father and they didn't care about him.

This what happens in family business.. Dam

[@wl6020]

Dont have so many kids....

Who commits burglary equipped with a professional hitman's pistol fitted with a silencer?

[@barrettpickett5603]

Sadly greed doesn't give you any happiness. Just more greed. And by not taking care of the father made a troubled family. Still were these kids this good at doing evil things or was never involved at all.

[@Quacks0]

Well, just another example of how power --- not to mention money --- corrupts.

[@jacoballred]

Would've held onto all or as much authority and power. For as long as possible could. There's ways of buying the children's share holding. The father lacked leadership.

Just because they are family.. doesn't mean they ARE🤔🧐

Why have they not made this movie? 😮

Nice having ai read that script

[@greggwgiddensable]

Makes me never want to use them again. I still don't buy that they didn't have her murdered and paid this guy to take the fall. Guess I'm glad at 45 I've no kids!

[@SAM-dm5qg]

It's a Great Hateful Wicked Evil!!!!! And also a Great Example Of Greed. Plus it shows what happens when you lose Focus!!!! Trying To Exstend into other areas was a Mistake!!!! Common Sense Will Tell You, If It's Not Broken???? Don't Fix It!!!

[@stefanmarraccini8646]

Some fathers don't understand how much their kids can't stand them. Moms help out a bit on that one. And societal bias. It's complicated. Having my heart warmed by U-Haul's feel good "Ain't that state grand! Now get up and get out of the state you're sick of and go where we suggest. Also, bring all your stuff. You need a truck for that. Call us, or do the pokey with your infernal device and send us money!".
