I’m not kidding. My coworkers and I have to move some big, heavy arsed objects on Sunday morning and have them delivered by 11am. Great, jumping over puke puddles in Downtown Calgary at 9am on a Sunday — thanks life. Anyways, what I learned this week was that most large truck rental companies close early on Saturdays. I asked one guy why that was, and he explained to me that traditionally, even truck rental guys like their weekends. Sassafrass!!! So I booked a truck with Captain Sassy that my coworker was going to pick up at 10am on Saturday morning, as this place closed at 10:30. No prob bob! We all met up for breakfast at about 11, and she turns to me and says«I keep calling the truck rental place and no one is answering… weird…» and I looked at her and said«They aren’t answering because it closes at 10:30» Translation — shooters. After laughing at each other for a good ten seconds, we decide it’s time to find a truck. The first place I call is Ryder Truck Rentals and Rachid answers — how charming is he on the phone! Listened to my story, laughed at me when I accidentally said I didn’t have a Driver’s License and was more than happy to wait the extra 20 minutes(after they closed) until we got there to get the truck. He only had the biggest truck every built — like an 80,000 tonne truck, but he only charged us for a 2 tonne. Rachid — !!! He teased us the whole time for our last minute booking and promised not to sell our phone number. He showed us how to use the lift, how to attach the ramp and backed the truck into the parking spot for us. He was so great — so great! I would go back and rent from Rachid in a heart beat, literally. Even though there is a Budget Rent a Truck right across the street from me(no kidding). Now we need to find someone to drive the truck.
