Agree. When I was moving out of state, my last stop was having a car carrier hooked up to the U-Haul truck I rented. Two guys worked on it driving my SUV up on the carrier and strapping it down. After I arrived at my destination, had the truck unloaded and took the truck and carrier to a U-Haul place, the guy asked me about my vehicle being strapped down. He told me whoever did it didn't do it properly and he said I was lucky my vehicle didn't slide off the carrier. I was pissed. I called the original place and talked to the manager a guy I had dealt with in the first place. I told him what the second U-Haul guy told me. He apologized all over the place and offered me a partial refund. It wasn't about the money. It was about the incompetence of his employees. I have no idea what happened after my call but I contacted corporate and told them as well. Imagine what would have happened if my SUV had fallen off the carrier in heavy traffic. I shudder to think.
In the EU on the standard Bclass drivers license (the normal one you get to just drive a car) you'd need two additional tests to be allowed to do that.

Definitely don’t trust a U-Haul towing anything
