Work-at-Home Company Profile: U-Haul

Moving, Equipment Rental, Call Center

Do-it-yourself moving company U-Haul, founded in 1945, has both in-office and work-at-home agents working the phones, providing customer service and roadside assistance and making sales and reservations in the U.S. and Canada. Founded by a Navy veteran, the company makes a point to be military friendly in its hiring. The company's headquarters are in Phoenix, AZ, and so is its brick-and-mortar call center.

In these part-time (25-32 hours per week) and often seasonal U-Haul jobs, work-at-home agents may provide customer service, make reservations and provide roadside assistance. Agents are typically hired to do one of these three types of jobs, not all. In Canada, bilingual agents in English and French are needed. See more bilingual call center jobs.

Some of the work at home jobs at U-Haul begin in a contact center and then transition to WFH or could actually be both virtual and in-office jobs. In its dual job program, office-based employees can moonlight from home, picking up extra hours from their home offices.

Many jobs are seasonal in nature with more volume in the summer. The hours scheduled are between 7am and 8pm 7 days a week.

Most of U-Haul jobs from home are part time. Benefits for part-timers include dental plan, limited medical plan, 401k, stock-purchase plan, company discounts and credit union.
