OKEECHOBEE — U-Haul Co. of Florida is pleased to announce that Mid State Sheds LLC signed on as a U-Haul® neighborhood dealer to serve the Okeechobee community.

Mid State Sheds at 140 NW 30th Lane will offer essential services like U-Haul trucks, trailers, towing equipment, support rental items and in-store pickup for boxes.

Normal business hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday. 

Mid State Sheds owner Ted Hair is proud to team with the industry leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage to better meet the demands of Okeechobee County.

U-Haul has teamed with independent dealers to offer rental equipment to do-it-yourself movers since 1945. During these challenging times for small businesses, more than 21,000 dealers across the U.S. and Canada are generating supplemental income through their U-Haul affiliation. When customers rent from a U-Haul dealer, they are directly supporting an independent small business in their community.

The local affiliates are not U-Haul franchises as there are no financial investments required to be a neighborhood dealer. These small businesses have committed a portion of their lot space for U-Haul equipment, and a portion of their time to help meet the mobility needs of their neighbors.

U-Haul Truck Share 24/7® allows customers to create an online account and pick up their truck at any hour using only their smartphone with photo feature and GPS. Trained Live Verify agents support customers online, enabling them to skip the lines and go straight to their truck.
