These are some of the most frequently asked questions you’ll have when it comes to moving, but don’t worry – we have answers!
Our team decided to answer these commonly asked questions about home and long-distance moving so you can have answers. Follow along!
How much does it cost to move?
This is by far the most frequently asked moving question we receive, but the answer is a little more complicated than just a set amount.
Local moves are charged by the hour, so different factors like manpower, time of the move, the number of trucks used, load and unload time, and other factors all come into play when determining the final costs of our bill. Long-distance moves are generally more of a flat rate depending on the length of the move and how much is being moved from one location to the next, but this is dependent on what the move type is.

What is the best way to pack for a home move?
There are plenty of different ways to answer this, but the simple and easy answer? Start packing early!
That is by far the best way to pack, as it helps you make the process more manageable vs. scrambling to pack up your home the day before you move. Other important packing tips include labeling all your boxes clearly, packing room by room, and making sure you use professional moving supplies.
How do I change my home address?
Often an underrated part of the home moving process, but it’s something you’ll need to take care of when switching your residence from one place to the next. Visit your local US Post Office or go to their website to take care of this.
What are the best items to have with me on moving day?
We call it a “day of the move” bag, and it usually includes items like phone chargers, toiletries, cleaning products, a change of clothes, and water/snacks that are easily available while you’re in the commotion of your move.
What type of payment does TWO MEN AND A TRUCK accept?
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise locations accept all major credit cards. For additional payment plans, please contact your local franchise and speak with their team about what options are available.
Should I tip my movers?
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise moving teams are allowed to accept tips from customers at the completion of a move, but they will never ask for one. If a customer feels inclined to provide a tip, they can give what they think is appropriate!
