I drove a loaded 26' Uhaul with car on the flat trailer from Ottawa to Vancouver. The scariest part was driving through Banff. Be very careful with hills on your route as well as curves. I had the truck in low gear down steep hills but even then the brakes would overheat so I had to keep pulling over after each steep hill and let the brakes cool. This was probably because of the weight of the load I was hauling with a Acura TL on the trailer pushing all the weight forward.

Other than that the only annoying part was parking.

Also as Roastpuff mentioned look over every aspect of the truck, tire pressure, oil, tranny oil, brake fluid etc. Uhaul does not give a shit they just rent rent rent.
