Stubborn? Optimistic? A little of both?
Those bad experiences were a decade ago, besides:

U-Haul is the only company that will rent trailers for a one-way move that you can tow with your own vehicle. Penske, Ryder, and Budget all require their trailers to be towed with their trucks. I needed to get my truck to Georgia too.

The rest of the move went off pretty smoothly. The 6% downhill grade on I-24 oustside of Chatanooga proved to be no problem with my truck in 2nd gear. (The first time I did that hill in my truck, I didn't understand the severity of the grade, was at 75 mph at the top of the hill, and by the bottom of the hill I was doing 95 and my brakes had completely faded.)
