Our story

The concept of Laborhutt first came when Jordan Sakala, CEO and founder, was a college student struggling to furnish his apartment. At that time, his financial situation didn't allow him to hire movers, and renting a U-Haul seemed too inconvenient. It was then that by luck he stumbled upon a neighbor with a pickup truck who agreed to help him bring his furniture to his apartment. Realizing that there are more people out there who are looking for affordability and convenience, he decided to start Laborhutt.
