u haul experience

I am getting ready to move back home for the summer and I am thinkin i need a u haul trailer or something like that to move all my crap and my roommate's a few hours down the highway. the uhaul people keep saying, though, that the max speed is 45-55 mph, and i really dont want to only go 55 mph down the highway. ive towed stuff faster than that before, and they say that anything above that could be dangerous for if the load were to shift or it could handle improperly.

my gut reaction says i can do 70 something in my tundra and not have any issues as long as i make sure my load is secured and properly distributed, which i always do. i think they just say that so that if u mess up and hurt urself or someone else or damage stuff they can say they told you so about going over 55 mph.

ive towed tractors and boats on our utility trailer at speeds like that (granted, they were for shorter periods of time, but still) without incident.

advice?
