2 Kids Hustlin’ Story

My name is Tylor Smiley and I started and run this business. The idea for 2 Kids Hustlin’ started while at college when I realized the need for removal when all the students were moving out of dorms. After the lightbulb turned on, I started formulating a plan and knew I had an old box trailer at home that could start me out. I came up with the name when joking around with my buddies talking about our upcoming Summer and how I was going to need their help. We were all saying we were just going to be “2 Kids Hustling”.

Ever since then the name stuck and what started as a simple idea has grown into something bigger, and 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.
