About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the truck rental company's loading bay—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up and found an odd note inside: 'Take care of this for me.' The driver shrugged, took the box, and placed it back where he found it. Later that day, while returning the trucks, another employee asked him if he’d seen a strange package. ‘Nope,’ he replied nonchalantly. The next morning, the same box appeared again—this time on top of the reception desk. With a smile, the original driver said to his colleague, “Guess someone forgot to tell me to take good care of it.”

2. One day, while returning a van, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever notice how some trucks always seem to be missing?’ The clerk shrugged and smiled, 'Well, sir, maybe they’re on vacation or taking a well-deserved break.' The regular laughed heartily and replied, 'Or they're secretly running away from their boring lives!' They both burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes it's fun to believe in little urban legends.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Capps Van & Truck Rental one afternoon with an unusual request. He needed to rent a small truck for just half an hour—an oddly specific task that caught the owner’s eye. The owner shrugged and agreed, thinking it was no big deal. Half an hour later, the driver returned the truck, smiling sheepishly. ‘It was for my wife,’ he explained. ‘She wanted to surprise me by baking cookies in our driveway.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Capps Van & Truck Rental one afternoon with an unusual request. ‘I need a truck,’ he said, ‘but only for today. And it must be exactly three feet longer than usual.’ The owner scratched his head and replied, 'Alright, I can do that.' An hour later, the delivery driver returned the perfectly sized truck, smiling broadly. The next day, everyone in town saw him driving around in a truck exactly three feet too long—until his neighbor borrowed it to move some furniture.
