Connected by the founder. Separated by the operating rules.
One founder narrative. Two independent customer funnels. One source-gated permission bridge. One hard partner/customer-data firewall.
John Bell founded TRUKKIT and Southern Bell Living and is also publicly connected to Southern Bell Brands. Southern Bell Living provides real estate services through The Boulevard Company. TRUKKIT is a separate marketplace for hauling, junk removal, pickup, cleanout, and property logistics. The ventures may be described together as a founder-connected property-transition model, while their services, agreements, customer records, permissions, pricing, availability, and responsibilities remain separate. No customer is required to use either venture.
The line is simple: cross-promote the public brands and explain their adjacent expertise; do not cross-purpose restricted customer or service records. The founder connection creates no automatic right to brokerage outreach, service-file access, a referral, a bundled agreement, or shared liability.
This is a first-party cross-venture governance summary, not legal advice or independent certification. Current law, client instructions, representation agreements, executed customer, provider, and partner terms, privacy notices, brokerage policy, and the stricter current operating source control. Actual systems and practices must match every public commitment.
Find the right operating surface.
TRUKKERs complete the physical service; they do not create real estate leads.
TRUKKIT describes participating TRUKKERs as independent service providers who may receive job opportunities or pings and decide whether to accept available work under applicable provider terms. Their authorized role is accepted-job logistics and physical service—not real estate brokerage, lead qualification, or Southern Bell Living promotion. This is an operating-role description, not a legal worker-classification conclusion.
A job is not real estate consent.
A TRUKKIT inquiry, quote, or service job does not by itself authorize John Bell, Erica Zepp, Southern Bell Living, or The Boulevard Company to contact the customer about real estate.
Direct and customer-initiated—not a protected-referral exception.
Only an eligible verified direct TRUKKIT customer who states no conflicting representation and independently requests Southern Bell Living by name may use a separate Support-managed permission path. Support records source and representation status, discloses the common founder and separate ventures, preserves customer choice, obtains named affirmative consent, and transfers only minimum contact and request data. Partner-Protected, represented, and uncertain-source customers are excluded, and the TRUKKIT service file remains separate.
Protection is not ownership.
The standard protects against solicitation and misuse of referral data; it does not restrict a customer's lawful right to choose, change, or contact a real estate professional or erase a documented relationship or consent that arose independently of TRUKKIT.
Direct answers
Are Southern Bell Living and TRUKKIT the same company?
No. They share founder John Bell and can explain their adjacent property-transition roles, but they have separate services, agreements, customer records, permissions, pricing, availability, and responsibilities. Southern Bell Living provides real estate services through The Boulevard Company; TRUKKIT does not provide brokerage services.
Will TRUKKIT market Southern Bell Living to a Realtor-referred customer?
A documented customer introduced to TRUKKIT by a real estate professional, team, brokerage, association, or referral network is Partner-Protected and service-only. The referral and service record are not used for Southern Bell Living solicitation, prospecting CRM enrollment, customer-list advertising, custom or lookalike audiences, person-level retargeting, or brokerage-intelligence transfer.
Will John Bell or Erica Zepp contact a Realtor-referred TRUKKIT customer?
Not because a TRUKKIT inquiry, quote, or job occurred. A Partner-Protected referral remains service-only and is not converted into an SBL lead. A separately documented pre-existing relationship remains separate; the direct-customer permission path does not apply to a Partner-Protected referral.
Can a TRUKKER discuss or refer real estate services?
No. While performing a TRUKKIT role, a service provider is not authorized through TRUKKIT to discuss, solicit, recommend, or refer brokerage services, collect real estate interest, promote SBL, or transfer service observations for brokerage use. The provider directs the customer to the customer's own professional or official TRUKKIT Support.
Can a direct TRUKKIT customer request Southern Bell Living?
Only an eligible verified direct TRUKKIT customer who states no conflicting representation and independently requests Southern Bell Living by name may use a separate Support-managed permission path. Support records source and representation status, discloses the common founder and separate ventures, preserves customer choice, obtains named affirmative consent, and transfers only minimum contact and request data. Partner-Protected, represented, and uncertain-source customers are excluded, and the TRUKKIT service file remains separate.
Are SBL and TRUKKIT services bundled?
No automatic bundle, referral requirement, discount, priority, pricing, availability, or performance promise exists. Each venture separately controls its scope, quote or fee, agreement, schedule, availability, and responsibilities, and the customer remains free to choose another provider.
