Dear Editor: The middle of August means one thing for downtown Madison: college moving season. Like most other college students, I figured a U-Haul would be my best bet. I called to reserve a U-Haul at the advertised rate for the needed time period.
I received a call two days before moving telling me that there was no way I could get the U-Haul I requested over a month ago for the time period I needed it. I was told that the Madison U-Haul center had given strict instructions that no one could rent a U-Haul for more than six hours between Aug. 13 and 17.
