Starving Students Moving & Packing Company History
Back in 1973, in Hollywood California, Darryl Marshak and Ethan Margalith, 2 teenagers fresh out of high school, “best friends” and roommates needed work for the summer before starting college in the Fall. They were ready to do whatever people needed to be done; painting houses, running errands, gardening, etc. After Darryl was offered $20 to “streak nude’, a short-lived craze of the early 70’s, Ethan settled on moving.
So they bought what they could afford, an old 1944 Dodge Truck. While one was painting on the side of the truck “Students – Movers for Hire,” the other said, as a lark, “With a truck like that, we should say we are starving, ‘Starving Students.'” They liked it; and just like that, a moving company was born.
They were eager, innovative, and they found ways to deliver the best value to customers looking for movers.
