Company Overviews

About TurboHaul

TurboHaul’s founder Kevin Daly grew up poor, so he and his brothers would go to local parks to look for bottles and cans that they could sell. Being the smallest, his brothers would hold him by his ankles to fish out cans and bottles from the trash bins. From those early experiences, he says he gained a "fever for recycling.” Then to make some money in college, he bought an old VW bus to help people move and haul their stuff. He saw a need and an opportunity in the marketplace and the idea for TurboHaul was born. After graduating college with a degree in logistics and marketing, he officially started TurboHaul with a rented U-Haul truck and an old computer in 1995.

About Junkluggers

Junkluggers offers full service eco-friendly junk removal for homes and businesses including offices, retail locations, construction sites, and more. Since 2004, we have been providing our clients with a full line of reliable services and we have continued to grow, serving a larger market with new trucks and additional well-trained crews from our corporate headquarters in New York City. Our services afford our clients peace of mind as each of them can rest assured that we will do a professional job loading and removing junk, furniture and other large items. We offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional junk haulers by donating usable items to local charities and recycling centers. Launching our franchising process in 2012 has been part of a 2-year plan to develop new territories with franchised business locations. We are fully prepared to offer you, as a franchisee, all the support, systems and a proven brand that you undoubtedly expect when you choose to go into business for yourself but not by yourself. We are now expanding beyond our New York tri-state area with a focus on developing and partnering with franchise owners in new Junkluggers business areas across the US.
As of early 2013, we have immediate availability for some New York, Connecticut and New Jersey markets in established territories and are offering these at no additional fee. Of course, the business model is supported anywhere people live or work, wherever there is “junk” that people need removed from their homes or businesses. Additionally, we offer customers the ease of scheduling via phone or our web-based online booking form. Since we have this streamlined booking system, we can support our franchise system with our call center where we manage every single booking, customer concerns and follow up questions about the status of donations. With proven systems for finding, supporting, and impressing our customers, we at the Junkluggers have much to offer potential franchisees.

We look forward to hearing from you and will be following up with you to discuss your interest in starting a new Junkluggers business!
