[quote=Jim Jones]Has anyone considered what percentage of these moves may be due to relocation’s by military personnel?

I know there has been some expansion of the capacity at Naval Base San Diego.[/quote]

If it’s a reassignment to a new base – doesn’t the military do a pack-out and move? I have a number of military family friends – they’ve all been provided with moving services when they were restationed… NOT U-Haul.

I agree with the previous post about U-Haul users trending younger/broker. But I’ve also helped friends with U-Haul moves who were in their 40’s and up – but didn’t want to spend the extra thousands for a professional move. If it’s not being paid for by an employer – it’s hard to justify the order of magnitude in expense.
