An in-town truck rental from Route 66 Auto Repair in Upland is for a local move where the truck returns to our lot in Upland. The hard part is not the booking. It is fitting load, drive, unload, refuel and return into one day. This page is a practical schedule for a local truck move, built around our hours and Inland Empire traffic.
What does a realistic local moving day look like?
| Time | Task |
|---|---|
| 8 AM | Pick up the truck at our Upland lot and take checkout photos |
| 8:30 AM to 11 AM | Load at the old address, heavy items first |
| 11 AM to noon | Drive across town, avoiding lunch traffic on Foothill Blvd |
| Noon to 2:30 PM | Unload at the new address |
| 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM | Sweep out the box and refuel to the checkout level |
| Before 5 PM | Return to our lot, or use the after-hours drop later |
Moving on a Saturday?
We close at 2 PM on Saturday and are closed Sunday. Pick up at 8 AM so you have the whole day. If you finish late, the after-hours return lets you drop the truck with a completed card and photos. Plan the fuel stop before dark, since stations near the lot get busy on weekend evenings.
Local driving tips for a box truck
- Scout the new address for low trees and carports
- Use side streets you know instead of GPS shortcuts through tight neighborhoods
- Stop well back at traffic lights, since the truck needs more room
- Park legally and use hazards while loading on the street
- Keep the cargo door locked while you walk away

Frequently asked questions
Can I pick up and return a truck the same day?
Yes. Many local moves are done in one day. Book an early pickup, and return before we close or through the after-hours drop with a completed card and photos.
What if I need the truck for a second day?
Change the reservation on uhaul.com before your return time. U-Haul sets the terms for extra time, so check the updated reservation.
Do I need to refuel an in-town truck?
Return it with the fuel level shown in our checkout photo. Take your own photo of the gauge when you drop it off so the two can be compared.
