Tax exodus contributes to biggest moving season in Two Men and a Truck’s history
Goodbye, New York and hello, Florida.
The fastest-growing franchised moving company in the country says low-tax states, such as Florida and Texas, are seeing a big influx of new residents. According to Randy Shacka, president of Two Men and a Truck, those states are high on the list of places to which people are moving this year.
“Anytime there’s a financial impact on somebody’s livelihood, you’re probably going to see a move on the tail end of that. It could be retirement, could be moving cross country for an opportunity, or it could be something like this where taxes are impacting them financially,” Shacka told FOX Business’ Stuart Varney on Wednesday.
Shacka said this summer will be the biggest moving season in the company’s 35-year history, but more qualified drivers are needed.
“It is a challenge and I think part of the awareness factor is really sharing what they get when they come into ‘Two Men and a Truck’. It’s not just coming in to be a driver,” he said. “We have the chance every day to help impact somebody’s lives during a stressful time. But, they’re also coming in to help build careers.”
