Re: Truck Rental - Uhaul Penske Budget
Ok, here is some more news, the uhaul afm takes me to get a truck that is needed. Budget told me to close my self storage property, call someone in to take me to get the truck, and not to worry about my gas, budget will pay me 15 cents a mile. I have not seen the budget truck that rents for 15 cents a mile, I wonder why they think they can force me to use my vehicle and my gas for 15 cents a mile. Penske hikes trucks in. I have done uhaul a couple times and penske once. I WILL NEVER TOUCH ANYTHING BUDGET AGAIN. Its the worst company I have seen. I have had about 20 people at different times show up to rent the truck they reserved, and no truck. Like today, the budget website states in bold that we are out of trucks until the 7th, but they still send people in anyway. Budget knows we are out of trucks, why send people in?
budget says I am supposed to check tire pressure, and since I work alone, close my store and take the truck to the gas station and air up the tires. Not gonna close the store for budget. Trucks are supposed to be an ancilliary thing. Trucks are supposed to be here to augment and help self storage. Not the other way around. And I would after 3 months of doing budget I would go to this abg university thing, but budget still has not given me a user name and password, which is required. The afm screams at me when I ask her what I am supposed to do, what reports to run and send them where, and even how to run them. I am so burnt on budget noone will ever convince me otherwise. I know for a fact penske and uhaul are better and you do get some company support. NEVER, EVER, BUDGET AGAIN.
And on another note, I am kinda tired of the b.s. with self storage. It seems they want and want and want more, and make the business harder than it has to be. I am going to throw 12 years of sucuess and experience in the back yard and go do something else. What b.s. you ask? the company I work for now has a new rule. If this property rented 15 units last year in march, I have to rent at least 15 this march, or get a write up. thats exactly the kind of b.s. I have had enough of. Its been nice to be here on SST, I have learned a lot, But I believe this will be my last post. God bless and best of luck to everyone.
