2 Kids Hustlin’ Story

My name is Tylor Smiley, and I started and currently run this business. The idea for 2 Kids Hustlin’ began in college when I noticed the need for junk removal as students were moving out of their dorms. After that lightbulb moment, I started forming a plan and remembered I had an old box trailer at home that could get me started. The name came about while joking with my buddies about our upcoming summer and how I would need their help. We all laughed, saying we were just going to be “2 Kids Hustlin’.”

Since then, the name has stuck, and what started as a simple idea has grown into something much bigger. Now, my goal is to expand, help more people, and continue my journey as a young entrepreneur..

The trailer is connected to a silver pickup truck and has a sign for "Kids Hustle Junk Removal" on its side. The scene is outdoors with houses and a cloudy sky in the background.
