U-Haul symbolically kicked off 'moving season' on May 23, 2025, by ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange. The ceremony also marked the start of a special summer for the company, as it celebrates its 80th anniversary of empowering American families with residential mobility. Navy veteran and U-Haul Co. of Manhattan/Bronx president Jeff Sonberg rang the closing bell.
Memorial Day weekend initiates a busy three-and-a-half-month period through Labor Day, during which nearly half of all residential moves in the U.S. occur annually. U-Haul was founded in 1945 by a WWII Navy veteran and his wife, with its first one-way trailers becoming available around Independence Day that year. The company's commitment to veterans remains strong, as it is recognized as a top veteran-friendly employer.
U-Haul's community work includes substantial support for veteran organizations, and it is a founding sponsor of the 20th annual National Memorial Day Parade. The NYSE event highlighted the company's enduring brand recognition and its role in facilitating residential mobility for eight decades. This public relations event underscores U-Haul's legacy and ongoing service.
