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.
