How College HUNKS prices a job
Their pricing page lists three factors: the volume your items take up in the truck, your location, and the item type. Some items carry additional landfill disposal fees or disassembly fees; the page names tires, paint and hot tubs.
No dollar figures appear on the page. It describes load sizes instead and says precise pricing and fees vary by location. Each job starts with a free, no-obligation estimate that includes estimates of any additional fees.
How Young Guns prices a job
By how much of the trailer your load fills, with the ranges published on this site: $95 for a single item to $575 for a full trailer. Labor, dump fees and cleanup are included. Text a photo and we send a firm number, then confirm it on site before we lift anything.
Young Guns is an independent business run by its two owners in Jacksonville. It is not a franchise, so no royalty or marketing fee is part of the price.

Who owns College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving
Their site states that College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving franchises are independent licensees of CHHJ Franchising LLC, and that individual franchisees may define a large item differently. Third-party summaries of the franchise disclosure document list a $75,000 initial franchise fee and ongoing fees to the franchisor; we did not find a published royalty percentage, so none is claimed here.
To be fair: the national brands are established operators with big trucks and plenty of satisfied customers. If you have used one and were happy, nothing here says otherwise. The difference is structure, and structure shows up in the price and in who you deal with.
