The US has many states. TX and CA, although large, are not the only games in town. Do they have to have the state that the truck is licensed in, keep its trucks there? If so, then they all have to go back to their place of origination. Mandatory round trips.
I guess one could also go from CA to TX loaded, and then come back to CA empty and drop the truck off at the origination place. Guess you’d pay mileage and the time used to make the round trip. And of course ,some opportunity costs….your time.
They don’t have to keep trucks in the same state, but they have to keep enough trucks at any given location. 135 thousand more people left California for other states in the last year than came here from other states. If U-Haul lets people take trucks anywhere they want, there’s a risk that California would run out of trucks.
The way out is to keep raising one-way fees till a) they push enough customers to full-service moving companies to achieve inbound-outbound parity, or b) it becomes financially justified to hire drivers to drive empty trucks back to CA from TX.
