Damn I was really wondering how Doug Demuro pissed off Uhaul

Not the Doug I was expecting but ok I'll take it.

Ed “let me google random pictures of vehicles attached to U-Haul trailers and show them every 45 seconds in my video” Bolian! 😂

10% normal comments 90% that’s not the Doug

Doug Demuro would get banned from U-Haul by trying to tow a trailer with his GT over the Atlantic to get to Nantucket

Man you really went all out with the random U-Haul pictures lol 👍

Doug and I have been up to some other KZfaq-related shenanigans lately. We built the craziest Hot Wheels track we could and decided to have a Ferrari vs Lambo model car shootout on it. It will release on my personal channel today at noon.

It may not be the Doug we hoped for but it's the Doug we deserve

The secret of the uhaul hitch is to tighten, pull forward and re tighten once the ball is all the way forward in the cup.

This, is a uhual. Today we will go over the quirks and features.

So I guess you could say the square attachment is one of U-Haul’s quirks and features. P.S. I know it's a different Doug now... :(

VINwiki: "How Doug was banned" Doug: "Well, I may not be banned" lol

"the light was green, but it turned yellow. So yellow means.... accelerate" im dying lmfao

And then my sister was pregnant and I am now a dad and uncle at the same time *VinWiki intro plays*

Geez! Am I the only guy who knew it was Doug Tabbutt?

Sound like a 2" hand on a 1 7/8" ball

I rented a U Haul trk. Loaded all my stuff from a storage unit to take to another storage unit in another state. I turn the truck in. They check the mileage. Has 10 user miles. They then start looking at the dash and under the truck for tampering of the odometer. They asked me, did you tamper with this. No. Why do it only have 10 miles, when from location you rented from to here is almost 400. My reply is you don't wanna know.. What I failed to tell them was I loaded it on my lowboy trl and hauled it down. Lol

This guy is not even wearing two shirts...imposter!!!

Day 412 of hoping for a Doug Demuro Vinwiki video

I worked for U-haul back in the day. One of my "Adventures in Moving" involved an interstore transfer of trucks. I worked at the Fairfield Ca store, close to Travis AFB. We did a ton of one-way sales during the summer and often times need to gather(raid) other stores trucks. So me ,my buddy and boss along with every friend we could contact with a CDL jumped into a van for a trip to Sacramento to get 10 trucks. While there the boss says, nobodys leaving without a trailer. So I hook up a 6x12 trailer to the back of my 24' truck. Seems legit so far. So about 10 at night I'm cruising down I-80 between Vacaville and Fairfield, home stretch, I notice that despite struggling to go 55MPH ,nobody is passing me. Freeway is 4 lanes wide at this area. I noticed a bit of surging going up this incline too. I check the rearview and see the trailer in the right mirror,lots of it. Then I see the trailer in the left mirror too.. OOHHH No!!! I got pulled over safely and inspected the trailer mounting. Turns out the ball had broken the weld to the tongue. I did what any clever 18 year old would do. Dropped the shank back through the hole and high tailed it back to the shop. I was midpack in my arrival and helped park all the trucks and trailers. Around midnight I figured my buddy had gone home with his truck so I jumped on my bad motor scooter and headed home. Next day I found out his truck drove 2 miles before overheating and blowing up. His truck had no radiator hoses. Just another day in the life

Happy Monday everyone! Enjoy another "Capital A" Adventure from Doug.

Now Rabbit isn’t the only one that was banned from an everyday thing 😂

*Inserts a bunch of random pictures of UHauls

they should have used the quote at 0:56 "when you put the tongue onto the ball" as the intro

yellow means accelerate , LMFAO

Well was hoping vor doug demuro lol

Anyone else expecting that Doug DeMuro?! 🧐🤔

For a second I was imagining that Tabbutt had used a U-Haul truck for a cannonball attempt.

If you had the wrong size ball that would be your issue

You’re not Daddy Doug :(

Doug - "I'm probably not banned, I don't know, but probably not, but I don't know" Vinwiki - "lol banned"

Update; you're not banned from renting a uhaul. I work for uhaul and your name isn't populating in the "bad boy" system.

But did he pay for the rental with... BITCOIN?!

I was expecting a doug score on a U Haul but this is good too

What is everyone talking about, this is OG Doug, obviously the better one!

Sounds like operator error, Never had an issue with all the trailers i've rented. Also it is done so it can fit both 1-7/8" AND 2" balls....

I’ve had the same issue with U-Haul’s coupler screw tightener. A car trailer I rented from them to pick up a Fairlane almost decoupled from my truck, and the u-Haul employee was the one who tightened it

For those that absolutly have to unhook these trailers.....when you go to put it back down reach under the wheel part and push up on the knob. Then tighten it as much as you can. After that push back on the trailer a few times then tighten it more. There's a reason why they only want the employees doing it.

I'm glad you brought up the U-haul issue with the trailer attachments. I rented a car carrier from U-haul years ago. The trailer attachment to the hitch/ball was exactly the same as you have explained in this video. The U-haul employee attached the trailer to the truck. When I attempted to drive my car onto the trailer at home, the trailer detached from the ball and hit the truck/SUV (Lincoln Navigator when they were still acceptable) in the gate. Horrible experience!!! I have never rented anything else from U-haul after that incident. Since then I have used Penske and never had any problems like that ever again, even though I moved my cars all over US.

"Yellow means accelerate" 😂😂

Uhaul trailers are so simple to attach 😂 “Little square thing” tightens down the coupler. And it CANT come loose because the notches inside it. This wasn’t Uhauls fail.

Just checked uhaul e alert system you are not banned

The first time I ever towed a trailer it popped off of the ball on the freeway. The safety chains did their job. Towing expensive boats was a big part of my job so I NEVER towed again without a locking pin.

That might be Doug's best shirt so far.

"Yellow means accelerate"

"When you put the tongue into the ball, you have to screw this square thing"

Lmao the ad on the end came on and I was like "I thought I was watching VINwiki, when the hell did the video switch to Your Overwatch?" because their channel uses the same intro for their videos.

Kudos to the one Youth Group member who stuck it out the whole day ;)

The first time I went into a Jimmy John's instead of delivery but the time I ordered my sub and as the cashier handed my change to me the sub was in my hand... I was like dann never going to subway again😂😂

I love Doug. Such a good story teller with such good stories!

Ed, thank you for developing this channel. It is so refreshing to hear down to earth stories from fellow enthusiasts. However, I would love to hear stories from regular people who bought their dream car/super car. Might be inspirational to fellow enthusiasts or those aspiring to become collectors. Everyone loves a shrewd negotiator. ;) I bought my 2015 Viper GTC a couple years ago and a friend bought his Hellcat Redeye just recently.

Yellow means accelerate... pro tip.

um since when are we called the mexican stig 'doug'?

The moral of the story is "No good deed goes un-punished."

There's no better feeling then hitting a bump while pulling a empty car dolly to see the whole trailer in your rear view mirror. It didn't come off but was a great laugh 😆

The screw down attachment allows the U-Haul trailer to work with 1 7/8” or 2” balls. Flexibility.

Anyone who’s ever rented from U-haul knows that the square tightener thingy is NOT your friend! The first time I ever rented a U-Haul trailer, they insisted on hooking it up for me and they used a giant pipe wrench to tighten down the square thingy. One of the guys said , "you’ll thank me later for this" as they walked back into the office laughing. But he wasn’t kidding. When I removed the trailer and put it back on again, that’s when I discovered I could not keep that nut tight. Until I borrowed a pipe wrench and really cranked down on it, it kept coming loose. But thinking about all of my horrible U-Haul experiences, I can confirm everything that you are saying as being 100% true without exaggeration.

The only Doug that matters on KZfaq.

best line ever "Yellow light means accelerate"

i worked for uhaul for two years as my first job. i've connected hundreds of trailers and not one of them have come off.

Just get the off brand, You-hall. Duh

when is Mr. Demuro going to be on vinwiki?

Doug: I have my own "Special" U-haul story. Went at Lunch time to rent a car trailer, paid the money and told the guy i would be back after work to pick it up. When i show up i find that they have assigned me the mosf beat down trailer there could be, fine i take it and go. I travel an hour North and I'm going to pick-up my 68 Coupedeville convertible that HAD to be moved from where it was being stored. So i get to the place, fire up the Caddy and get it positioned in front of the ramps,making sure im lined up good, straps are out of the way. Then the problem arises, one strap is shredded and the ratcheting mechanism is broke. After repeated calls to U-haul help line- now it's 10:00 pm- nobody can come help me, no other car trailers avaliable! So i decide to risk it- Luckily for me i always get the insurance even though it a rip off- so i load up and strap down the best i could with the bad side, hook the little trailer safety chain. But i'm spooked because im hauling it with my 67 F100 shortbed that i put 3/4 ton 5 bolt Camper Special suspension under. Taking all the back roads and taking it easy and sure enough i have a person because I'm going slow decides they are going to pull out in front of me. I get on the brajrs as hard as i can, locking up the tires only to have the Cadillac start a chain of events, snapped the broken side which led to the other strap being unable to keep it on the trailer, broke their safety chain like it was a toy. Now i have a 68 Cadillac that has jumped the stops and came forward landing on the crank handle, caving in the rear of the bed,tail gate,lights etc. And now from the weight of the cadillac has caused the tongue of the trailers red square you speak of to be bent and the cross member is sitting on top of it with my Reese hitch is dug into the pavenent solid. No way could i move it out of the roadway and here i sit on State Route 45 in Aynor,S C. With no flashers, dark as hell and its approaching midnight and almost getting plowed into, i have to PAY for a wrecker to come and pick up the front end of the Cadillac-now were blocking the whole road and of course someone called State Troopers- while i pull the trailer forward, so i creep up into a Church parking lot after throwing a chain around the cross member. So here i am with the rear of my pickup smashed in, no straps to strap the front tires and the Hwy Patrol officer's there assessing the whole situation. Have to hitch hike back home- days before cell phones- grab my V8 S-10 i have to get chains,chain binders, 5 ton chain come along, air compressor, generator, drill,chocks,fuses,bulbs,tools,stop at Wal-Mart and buy cheap trailer lights and their brand CHEAP straps. Flatten every tire of the Cadillac, crank each corner down to compress the suspension with the come along, put on chains with binders on all four corners, re air up the tires, nail chocks to the deck. Drill and mount trailer lights on to my now crushed bed, with the trooper stopping by multiple times to make sure that I'm not leaving with no lights. Had to leave my S-10 go buy disposable camera at Wal Mart take pictures, un load the Caddy, go BACK and retrieve my S-10 then head straight into work. Called U-haul at lunch time told them what happened and said i would be back with the trailer after work. They had a hell of a time getting the Square lock to unlock the trailer from my truck, was charged an extra day and then Chastised by the U-haul location MGR for using the strap side that was messed up and it was MY fault!! I responded with why would you assign me the junkiest trailer when there were other newer trailers avaliable and it wasn't my job to inspect trailers for safety! Ended up getting paid $1,700.00 (1998 $$) for the damage to my truck and had to threaten litigation because they were not happy with the estimate for the damage on the Cadillac! After about 2 months of back and forth i received a phone call from Corporate stating that they would give me fair book value for the Cadillac which was just a little more than the repair costs. It was a take it or leave it one time deal. Was told in a round about way they would drag me out in court and they had the money to do so. So i had no choice to accept the "deal"! Never have i had the chance since to be able to afford another 68 Coupedeville Convertible. Sure miss that car! Especially a triple white Caddy convertible which was a blast to cruise around in Myrtle Beach.

I worked for a moving truck agency. A guy rented one of our few remaining 26 foot trucks, refused the insurance, and said he knew all about how this racket (insurance) works. One hour later, he is back at our counter, having been delivered to us by a police car. odd enough, but it gets better. Our trucks are marked 11 feet 6 inches tall. He explained that since he was being charge by the mile ( he was not), he took a shortcut to get to his house. This shortcut was a 12 rail honest Burlington Northern owned cargo train bridge 9 feet 5 inches tall. My boss asked him why he took an 11 foot tall truck under a 9 foot bridge. He said he thought those height limits were only for commercial trucks, and did not apply to rental moving trucks. We were dumbstruck. The officer said he had chased him to stop him, but he hit the throttle, and was doing close to 50 MPH when he hit the bridge, wedging almost 10 feet of box, by our measurements when the two parts were brought back to the lot. it violently separated the box from the frame, stuck the box to the bridge, and bent the frame of a 5 ton truck, and all he wanted to do was rent another truck. The officer had to sit down he was laughing so hard. The guy looked at us with no concept of what he had done. He bent the bridge, the railroad had to close it for a week or two so they could repair it. We referred the guy to our competition, then called them to warn them he was coming. Remember he refused the insurance, he had a multiple thousand tow and recover bill, a totaled 2 year old truck, box was sardine canned, and the railroad wanted to sue us for damage. We got that worked out. Once we explained the situation, their lawyer agreed we had lost control of the situation as soon as he turned the key and left the lot. They sued the guy. No one would rent him a truck and he had thousands of dollars in damage to everything he touched, and NO INSURANCE for it. He was not covered by his auto or home insurance. Without even being on Vin Wiki, He definitely beat being banned from U-Haul. He still had no idea what he had done when he left our store.

This is not the Doug I expected

Ed’s google search bar while editing this video: “interesting photos of UHAUL trailers”

For a second I thought Doug did something bad to piss off uhaul

As someone who rents U-Hauls at my job (we are local dealer, not big center) I have had many excursions with that coupler. I do think design is horrible and have cut my thumb several times tightening/untightening. I feel your pain, surprised it came off, I believe Doug was right saying something was wrong, I think I have seen one trailer that was fully tightened that came off someone's truck (same situation, driveway has a bump, when they hit it, came off, chains kept it from slamming ground.

I watch for the ad at the end of the video.

I just rented a u-haul trailer from some yard work over the weekend. Would love to know who came up with the idea of a square knob for locking the trailer to the hitch.

A month or two ago, I saw this happen to someone with a UHaul trailer in the middle lane of I-70 in Denver traffic. While I was initially surprised that the lane was at a dead stop, once I saw what caused it, I just thought to myself, “oh, that makes sense!”

Soo, Here is my trailer story. Not U Haul, but Ryder. September 2001, moving from Northern VA to Atlanta GA. ABT Freight lines left a Semi-trailer in the drive way and we hired professional movers to pack it. Intrinsically knowing that it would not meet our time frame, I rented a Ryder 20-something truck (24-26, I don't really remember), with a car hauler for my wife's Mazda Miata . Not a car runs on the back wheels, but a real all up car hauler. I take the rig home, and stop on the road that connects two dead end cul de sacs and disconnect the trailer from the truck and back the truck down the drive to load it with enough stuff to get us through the anticipated delay between when we arrive and when the moving truck/trailer arrives. We lode the truck and drive the Mazda onto the trailer and head out. Just a few miles before the Georgia line on I-85 the truck feels weird. I look at the right side rearview and see the Mazda approaching from that side, a few seconds later I see it approaching on the other side. And, there is no traffic behind me! Lots cars on the shoulders, but now one near me. I finally got slowed down and a miracle exit ramp appeared and I took it. Stopped and greeted my hysterical wife who witnessed the entire event from our Volvo that she was following me from. Safety chains saved me when the trailer jumping the ball. One trailer tire was trashed, as was the wiring harness. Ryder told us to take it to a dealer in GA. We turned on the emergency lights on the Mazda and proceeded, as the Ryder dealer was less that ten miles from our destination. We took whole shebang to our new home and turned the trailer and truck into the Ryder dealer the next day.

Doug the kind of guy.... Wait what... Oh different Doug....

I wasn’t expecting this Doug nor a Jimmy John’s commercial in the middle. Still happy to have a VINwiki video though!

Doug: “Yellow means accelerate” O’Reilly: *IMMA PLACE A AD HERE*

So I worked at Uhaul for a good month or so. But I went through ALL the training INCLUDING the 9-hr Saturday training at the hub facilities and the 40+ hours of computer training. Those squares are idiotic. I have no clue HOW you managed to unhook the safety chains unless the employee didn’t install them properly.

This isn't Doug demuro

Always on point with the ridiculous shirts. Love it

Sounds like he had the wrong size ball for the trailer.

"Yellow means accelerate" 😂😂 Yes, it does.

Doug clickbait worked on me

Who's the girl in the ticket clinic add????saucy!!!

Just as a testament to how STRONG normal trailer ball hitch attachments are. My brother and I (and a few friends) were driving back from a VW car show once. One of the friends was driving the truck with the (open, steel) car trailer attached to the back as that was the "emergency" vehicle in case any of us broke down in our finicky old VWs on the 6+ hour drive home. Anyway, at some point (likely due to all of us driving the cars doing a bunch of shenanigans), we had gotten separated from the truck. Now, there are two ways to go home from where we were, and while those two paths stay separated for 95% of the journey home, they both meet about 10 miles before we get there, on the same road, to take the same exit to the house. SOMEHOW, and we're still not exactly sure how this happened... despite the truck taking path A and us (in the cars) taking path B, we both ended up LITERALLY right behind each other when the two paths met back up. No, we did not plan this. At that EXACT moment where we had pulled in behind each other to follow each other home, the trailer dropped off of the back of the truck. Showers of sparks shot up from under the truck as the trailer jack scraped along the cement at 70 MPH. Seconds later the tires of the trailer started smoking as well as they had locked up from the trailer e-brake being activated. LUCKILY, the chains on that trailer were beefy as hell, and stayed connected. We were SUPER lucky that none of the cars were on the trailer at that point or else it would have been a hell of a lot harder to control with a few thousand pounds on top of those locked up wheels (all 4 of them.) Anyway, on to the entire point of this story. We eventually all got pulled over. We had expected that the ball had perhaps fallen off of the drop bar or maybe broken, or that the hitch attachment had broken. But no, we were ALL wrong. The freaking huge ass 5/8 inch stainless hitch pin had sheared in half. No, the hitch pin clip didn't break, the literal hitch pin itself had sheared in half. Half of it was still stuck in the receiver itself (hence why we knew it failed.) Anyway, the testament to how strong the normal hitch attachment points are is here. The trailer was STILL ATTACHED to the ball mount, and was dragging it along the ground. The ball mount itself had been ground down at an angle from being dragged for as long as it was. Despite weathering multiple huge bumps, shocks, rocks, everything, the ball was STILL perfectly attached to the trailer, and it wasn't even broken in the slightest. The mechanism still worked with ease when we went to remove the ball and ball mount from the trailer. The moral of the story is, those ball mounts may SEEM rickety and loose, but they work good as hell and there is no way you're going to break one or lose a trailer if it's properly attached to one. While we didn't exactly have a spare hitch pin to complete the journey back home, there were a few huge bolts in the truck toolbox that worked perfectly well for the few miles we had left before we got home. We locked the nuts down on that thing as hard as we could, then locked two nuts together by backing one off onto the other. We stopped a couple of times on the way home to make sure it was good (it was.) When we got home we had to cut the bolt off with a grinder because of how destroyed the threads were. So I suppose moral number 2 is "Make sure all of the safety stuff is properly attached when towing a trailer, and make sure the brake pin/line is properly adjusted so that it locks the brakes even IF the trailer is still attached by chains." We all had a good drink when we got home and were extremely thankful that nothing more eventful happened that night. In the end, nothing was really broken (other than the ball hitch and hitch pin of course) and nobody was hurt so... win win.

As a former U-Haul dealer my self I can tell you right now that the ball and tongue receivers are absolute bullshit on the trailers... Thats why we alwats told customers to stop every so often to check to make sure the "Square knobby thing" is still locked into place. Funny thing is - i heard about this story from one of the main uhaul managers in my area.

To be honest I expected Doug DeMuro... just like any other comment😄

Being asked to help people move is the reason I will never own a truck.

Just finished my first set of college exams, glad to unwind with this

The design that uhaul has is actually pretty cool. That square crank knob allows their trailers to go on most ball sizes so you don't have to change the size of your ball. Just crank it down and tighten it on to whatever's on your vehicle.

Lesson learned? Just buy your own damn trailer. You’ll use it more than you think and a decent utility trailer is pretty affordable.

Dang this’ll be the last time you upload before I leave for basic tomorrow.

When I see a video posted on this channel I pray it’s Doug before watching 😂 best story teller

lmao the pictures of random uhauls through the video 😂💀

I've towed my race car for years with U-Haul trailers. You have to fully tighten that thing, then move forward a foot or two and tighten it again. Yep, dumb design! Almost as dumb as the fact that they don't trust their customers with a spare tire, so when you experience a blowout - or three - you've got to wait over 3 hours each time. Ask me how I know...

Pretty sure everyone was expecting Doug Demuro 🤣

I can confirm U-Haul has a blacklist because I was put on it. Why? Because I caught a U-Haul employee in Mead CO writing my driver's license and credit card information down in her personal notebook. When I called her out for identy theft she played victim. When I called corporate they completely blew it off and put me in their system as a belligerent customer hence the blacklist. Horrible company with horrible customer support.

Man, this is painful to hear. At least no one was hurt.

The ticket clinic ad looks like a poor introduction to a porn movie

This video brought to you by Jimmy Johns.

I love how everyone assumed this was about Doug demuro

A friend who will help you move is a good friend.
