Strategic Growth and Operational Efficiency Drive College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving Forward.
STEPHENS CITY, VA, UNITED STATES, April 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Even as gas prices continue to challenge industries reliant on trucking, College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving is expanding its footprint into Northern Virginia, capitalizing on strong regional demand as more families relocate to the area.
“Northern Virginia is experiencing steady population growth, which fuels demand for moving and junk removal services,” said Jeremy Berkebile, owner of College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving. “Rising fuel costs are a challenge, but they haven’t slowed our plans. With careful operational planning and efficiency, we’re able to scale sustainably.”
Berkebile, a locally owned franchise operator, now oversees operations across Northern Virginia and Northwest Virginia, more than doubling his business in both revenue and workforce. It’s also a true family operation, the whole family works in the business, from his wife to their three kids, adding a personal, hands-on element to its growth. His path into the industry began during the COVID-19 pandemic while flipping houses, frequently handling junk removal, which inspired him to explore the College HUNKS franchise model. After acquiring a struggling franchise, Berkebile turned it into one of the most profitable in the national network.
“I started from the ground up, rebuilt the team, reshaped the culture, and focused on developing people,” Berkebile said. “That’s what made the difference, and doing it alongside my family, with my wife and kids all part of the business, has made it even more meaningful.”
Recognizing Northern Virginia as a key growth market, Berkebile is expanding with operational improvements, including dedicated moving and junk removal teams to enhance efficiency and service quality.
“We’re very intentional about fuel management, from monitoring field usage to preventing waste,” he said. “That level of oversight helps us stay efficient and continue growing, even when costs fluctuate.”
