Hi Amin,
A U-haul is a truck used to move furniture from place to place, the term is commonly used in the US and Canada. I hope this helps.

Hi Amin, a U-Haul is the name for moving truck. U-Haul means "you haul" such that you take your stuff from your old house to your new house in this truck. I hope that helps!

U-Haul is the name of a company. They rent large vehicles similar to trucks, but that do not require special truck driver licenses. People usually use them to move without paying for professional movers. The name is a joke on the expression "you haul" ("to haul" means to pull or drag something).
Fun story about Boston and U-Hauls: one of the main streets of the city has bridges that are lower than most U-Hauls. Almost every year, out of town people who will be attending a university in Boston miss the warning signs, drive a U-Haul onto that road, and crash into a bridge. It happens so much that people from Boston even have a word for it, "Storrowing," after the name of the street (Storrow Drive)
