Jonathan Richards owns Kentuckiana Moving, a moving company serving Louisville, Kentucky, and New Albany, Indiana.
He started Jonathan Richards Moving Supplies to sell colored moving blankets and professional hand trucks to other moving companies: polyester pads for everyday truck work, cotton pads for finished furniture, and colors that let a crew tell its pads apart at a glance.
Orders can be picked up in Louisville by appointment, and Jon delivers on his own moving trucks when a route lines up.
