The best laid plans of mice and men...
I have had the Uhaul truck and tow dolly reserved for over a week and received an email confirmation.
Just now, I got a call from Uhaul that they don't have a tow dolly available. (Now you tell me?)
Oh and the 15-ft truck you reserved is not at the location where you want to pick it up. It's at a different location that does not open until 10 am.
He managed to locate an auto transport trailer (flatbed) and will rent it for the same price as the tow dolly... but it is not in Rapid City. It is in Spearfish at the north end of the Black Hills.
So I pick up the truck Monday at 10:00 and leave my Jeep there. Then drive up to Spearfish and pick up the trailer. Drive back down to Rapid City, load the Jeep onto the trailer and then I can go home and start loading the truck around noon or later.
He apologized for the inconvenience and gave me an extra day rental on the truck and trailer at no charge.
This just might work out. Now to inform my helpers that we won't start loading until Monday afternoon.
< sigh >
It's all good. 😁
