We hear a lot of the same questions from people planning a move in Cary, and we think that's actually a good thing — it means people are doing their research instead of just showing up on moving day hoping for the best. Here are the honest answers to what residents ask us most.
Common questions our customers ask
1. What's a realistic price for movers in the Triangle?
Local moves generally cost between $300 and $1,500. Your exact price depends on your home size, the number of movers needed, and how long the job runs. We provide free, detailed estimates so you know the real number before you commit.
2. Will I be billed for the movers' travel time?
Yes. A travel fee is industry standard in Cary and covers the drive time between our location and your home. It's included in your written estimate from the start — nothing hidden, nothing added at the end.
3. Do rates go up for weekend moves?
Weekend and month-end moves are the most competitive windows for both pricing and availability. If flexibility is an option for you, a mid-week or mid-month booking may work better. No matter when you move, booking 2–4 weeks ahead gives you the best positioning.
4. How early is early enough to book movers?
2–4 weeks is a good target. Spring and summer are the busiest periods, and month-end dates go fast. If your timeline is tight, contact our local team, and we'll be honest about what's available.
5. What does TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® include in a standard move?
Standard moves include two trained movers, a truck, and all the protective equipment needed for a safe move — furniture pads, stretch wrap, dollies, and more. We load your home, drive to your new address, and unload, placing boxes and furniture in the rooms you direct.
6. Do I have to do my own packing, or will your team handle it?
We handle it if you want us to. Our team does full packing and unpacking using the right materials for each type of item. Whether it's your dishes, your books, or a box of things your grandmother gave you, we treat everything with care. Packing can be added to any move.
7. Can I get boxes and packing supplies through TWO MEN AND A TRUCK?
Yes. We provide a full range of packing supplies — standard boxes, specialty boxes for fragile or oversized items, packing paper, tape, and bubble wrap. Ask during your estimate, and we'll make sure you have what you need ahead of moving day.
8. My dining table is nine feet long. Can your crew handle that?
Absolutely. Oversized furniture, pianos, safes, antiques — our team comes equipped for it. Just let us know at booking so we arrive with the right tools and personnel. The more we know ahead of time, the smoother things go.
9. I need to push my move date — is that possible?
Yes. Contact your local team as soon as your plans change, and we'll work to find a new date. We ask that you review the cancellation and rescheduling policy at the time of booking so you're prepared if things shift.
10. How do TWO MEN AND A TRUCK movers protect my home's floors and walls?
Every crew brings floor runners, door frame protectors, furniture pads, and stretch wrap as part of standard practice. We care about your home as much as we care about your belongings. That's the heart of what we call the Grandma Rule.
11. Is TWO MEN AND A TRUCK insured in North Carolina if something breaks during my move?
Yes — we're fully licensed and insured in North Carolina. If damage occurs during your move, our claims process is structured to make it right. Before your move, ask your coordinator about valuation and protection options. We'd rather you know your options upfront than wonder after the fact.
12. Can I store my things with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK while I wait for my home?
Yes — short-term storage is available for customers in transition. Our storage is secure and climate-controlled. It operates as Storage-In-Transit (S-I-T), which is designed for the gap between moves — not indefinite storage. Ask about availability and pricing when you schedule your move.
