ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Dec. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Manasra Inc. Chevron is located at one of the busiest intersections in Albuquerque, which offers owner Joe Salem's convenience store a lot of visibility.

And what better way to capture people's attention than shiny moving trucks with that distinct U-Haul orange stripe.

Manasra Chevron is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 2124 San Mateo Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, N.M. 87110. Reserve U-Haul equipment here by visiting http://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Truck-Rentals-near-Albuquerque-NM today.

"Partnering with U-Haul is a change we made to increase our income, and so far it is very good," Salem said. "We have high expectations about it and we look forward to increased business in the future."

Manasra Chevron offers U-Haul® trailers and towing equipment as well as moving supplies, but its highest demand has been for moving trucks. Despite a limited amount of on-site parking, Manasra Chevron aims to find more ways to bring in additional trucks, including the prospect of sharing trucks with other local U-Haul dealers.

Its location, just south of Interstate 40 Exit 161 and a short distance from the University of New Mexico, and superior customer service allow the convenience store to remain busy year-round. Business picks up even more during the popular Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta each October when tourists flock to town.

Salem noted that his partnership with U-Haul allows customers to use two services at once when they fill up their moving trucks at the gas station.

Manasra Chevron and Albuquerque are ideal spots to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck. Upload your photo through Instagram using #uhaulfamous, or go to www.uhaulfamous.com to submit photos and learn more.

From now through Dec. 31, U-Haul will donate $1 to the American Red Cross for every photo submitted.
