U-hell trucks have a 2 1/8" ball WELDED in place... it's an odd size, and
pretty much precludes using anything but u-hell equipment. I had arrived to
pickup my car, and the u-hell place didn't have the auto transport (their
name for the whole car trailer). I tried to use one from another rental CO,
and found the two were not compatible. (Oh, joy) For me it was FAR cheaper
to fly one way, and rent the POS truck to get back... besides, if your truck
turns out to be anything like the 198ish ford clapped-out diesel I got, one
way is FAR more enjoyment than any person needs.
