U-Haul operates a moving and storage business centered on truck and trailer rentals, self-storage facilities, and propane distribution across North America. The tech stack leans heavily on operational infrastructure—Databricks, Kafka, Spark, and Snowflake for fleet analytics; Oracle and SAP for enterprise resource planning; Power BI and Tableau for visibility. Hiring is operationally weighted: 454 in ops, 340 in support, 94 in logistics, versus 7 in engineering, suggesting the company is scaling physical asset management and customer service capacity rather than engineering-driven product velocity. Active projects focus on inventory balancing, equipment reservation optimization, and dealer network expansion—core logistical challenges for managing a dispersed fleet at scale.
