“We drastically cut rental equipment additions in March as OEM plants closed and we prepared for the worst. Likewise, we cut real estate acquisition and development investment. It will take about two years to normalize rental equipment investment, probably longer on real estate investment,” stated Joe Shoen, chairman of AMERCO. “In both self-storage and self-move, we are in very competitive markets. This remains a close game. We are committed to winning. Over the last 7 months, we have simply outworked our peer group. No one knows what next year will bring.”
