Alligator Wants a Job

LAKE WALES, Fla.—The scaly creature stopped by U-Haul Moving and Storage of Lake Wales in search of a career at U-Haul. Dressed in her sharpest alligator-skin clothing, Ally Gator hoped to join the U-Haul family.

“I just finished studying at the University of Florida and it has been my dream to join U-Haul,” Ally explained.

General Manager Cynthia Charbonneau was amazed by the manners and class that Ally showed throughout her application process.

“With her impeccable social skills and intelligence, I knew she would be a vital part of our U-Haul Team,” Charbonneau noted.

“I was so excited to hear the news and get a job right out of college,” Ally cheered. “In fact, my grandfather was a U-Haul Team member. He was featured in the classic SuperGraphic for Florida back in the day, and I am happy to be carrying on his legacy at U-Haul.”
