Two Men and a Truck

Services

From a Pickup Truck to 380 Locations

Two brothers with a pickup truck started helping neighbors move in Lansing, Michigan in 1985. Four decades later, Two Men and a Truck is the largest franchised moving company in the US — 380+ locations across 45 states and four countries. Over 9 million moves completed.

What the Crew Actually Does

Their movers handle packing, furniture disassembly and reassembly, padding, stretch-wrapping, and loading. Each move gets a dedicated move manager who coordinates from the quote through final delivery. Every mover goes through 120 hours of proprietary training covering safe lifting, customer communication, and their “Grandma Rule” — treat every item as if it belonged to your grandmother.

Specialty Moves

Piano moving. Gun safes. Hot tubs. Internal rearranging (just need that armoire moved from the second floor to the basement). They also do junk removal for pre-move decluttering or post-estate-sale cleanups. If it’s heavy and awkward, they’ve probably moved one before.

How Much It Runs

Local moves are hourly — typically $140 to $200 per hour for a two-mover crew with a truck, depending on metro area. Long-distance is priced by weight and distance. Most locations don’t charge extra for stairs, long carries, or weekend moves, and they offer free in-home or virtual estimates.

Tracking and Accountability

Every truck has GPS, so you can monitor your move in real time through their app. Post-move surveys feed into their quality system — the company maintains a 96% customer referral rate, which is unusually high for the moving industry.

The Verdict

For homeowners who want someone else to handle the heavy lifting, Two Men and a Truck delivers a consistent, professional experience. You pay more than renting a truck yourself, but the training, accountability, and insurance coverage are real. Their weak spot is availability during peak summer months — book early if you’re moving June through August.
