Six years ago a couple of college kids used a beat up cargo van to start College Hunks Hauling Junk. Today these kids are no longer in college (and probably no longer “Hunks” for that matter). However, the van still lives on! It has found a resting place at a junk warehouse in Rockville, MD.
The younger employees don’t seem to respect their elders’ toughness for hauling junk in such a vehicle.
College Hunks Hauling Junk has employed hundreds of college employees over the years. We caught up with some of our most memorable employees to see what they are up to these days.
