Jason Elkins With Thumbs Up Moving Labor
We at Thumbs Up Moving Labor are on a mission to make moving simple and fun. We have invented a business model that prioritizes meeting our clients needs in a way that no other moving company can. We provide the muscle to help with our clients moves because this is where the need really is.
There are plenty of options available for dependable and affordable transportation companies that provide trucks, trailers, containers, etc. But, there are not a lot of great options for companies that provide high quality, dependable, young, strong movers.
Thumbs Up Moving Labor started in 2013 in Snohomish Washington when Jason Elkins and his brother Justin were looking for a new opportunity that they both could excel at. Both Jason and Justin had many skills and a lot of drive to succeed at something they could both be passionate about.
Jason and Justin started moving people using an old Chevy truck that Jason purchased with his older brother Jesse’s advice. Jesse told Jason that if he had a pickup truck, he had a way to make money, and Jason ran with this idea.
Seeing his success with making money with his new pickup truck by hauling scrap metal and doing some demolition work, Jason decided he needed to expand to grow his venture. He realized that there was a strong need to help people with their moves, so he started moving people using his truck.
Jason looked into starting a moving company, and he realized that the real need was for movers, not for trucks. U-haul, Penske, Budget, Upack, PODS, and a number of others provided plenty of transportation options. Jason realized that he wanted to start a moving labor company and provide a needed service within an industry made up of mostly full-service companies.
It was a Eureka moment for Jason and a true turning point in his life and career as an entrepreneur.
