Waynesburg's Farming Community Welcomes First U-Haul Dealer

WAYNESBURG, Ky., March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The one-acre lot that belongs to Kenny Smith is an ideal spot for U-Haul® trucks, trailers and towing equipment.

Kenny's Pulling Parts & Machine is the only U-Haul neighborhood dealer in Waynesburg and offers its small-town Kentucky customers an alternative to the 20-mile drive to Stanford to find U-Haul products.

While Kenny's Pulling Parts & Machine has offered U-Haul for just few months, Smith has seen a noticeable jump in business by partnering with the industry leader in do-it-yourself moving and self-storage. The easily accessible business has a great location at 13315 U.S. Hwy. 27 S and is open for business 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

Reserve U-Haul products here by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Waynesburg-KY or calling (606) 379-0219 today. In addition to trucks, trailers and tow dollies, Kenny's Pulling Parts & Machine offers in-store pick-up for boxes and after-hours drop-off.

Most of Smith's customers are farmers with agribusiness serving as the center of Waynesburg's economy. Kenny's Pulling Parts & Machine works on large machine parts in a region where tractors are a primary focus.

Because farming is seasonal, Kenny's Pulling Parts & Machine has an offseason. Farmers are often working on their machines in the winter, before the growing season begins in the spring. The fall is typically a slow time for Smith when farmers are getting their crops harvested and stored before the temperatures turn cold.

Having an offseason impacts the workload for Smith and his four employees, so it made sense to add a secondary business like U-Haul on the side. By recognizing the growing number of movers and people cleaning out their garages during the fall, Smith tapped into a market that should be equally beneficial for his company and Waynesburg moving forward.

Kenny's Pulling Parts & Machine is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck.
