THROWBACK: WHEN WE LAUNCHED JUNK REMOVAL ON LIVE TV

At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we have always believed that our mission goes far beyond just moving boxes from point A to point B. We are in the business of helping people move forward, whether that means transitioning into a beautiful new home or simply letting go of the clutter that has been weighing them down for years.

Looking back through our archives, we found a special moment that perfectly captures this spirit. It was the day we decided to officially help Sacramento "lighten the load" by launching our Junk Removal service. It wasn't just a quiet launch; we did it in the most Sacramento way possible: live on local television!

The 120-Second Challenge

Back in 2022, the Good Day Sacramento, crew visited us to see if we were really as fast and professional as we claimed. Our host, Luis, threw down the gauntlet: could we clear out an entire storage unit filled with old furniture and debris during a single live broadcast segment?

Our team members, didn't blink. As the cameras rolled and the timer started, they went to work. In just 2 minutes, the exact length of a TV hit, the unit went from a cluttered mess to completely empty. Luis explained to the viewers that we launched this service because we wanted to support our community not just when they are moving, but also when they are settled and tackling that big spring cleaning project. We wanted to be there for every stage of homeownership.

Living by The Grandma Rule®

While the speed of that live segment was impressive, what truly mattered was the care behind it. At the heart of everything we do from that first TV appearance to our daily operations today, is THE GRANDMA RULE®. It is our core value: Treat every customer the way you would treat your own grandmother.

Whether we are hauling away a single heavy sofa that has been sitting in a garage for a decade or clearing out an entire estate, that principle remains the same. We handle your items with respect, your home with care, and your time with the highest professional standards.

From One Truck to Two Brands

That live TV moment in 2022 planted a seed. What started as a natural extension of our moving services quickly grew into something bigger, so much bigger that it earned its own identity. Today, what we launched on Good Day Sacramento has evolved into a full daughter brand: TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK®.

now under a banner that specializes in clearing out what you no longer need. From that single storage unit challenge to a dedicated fleet serving Sacramento, TMJT has become the go-to for homeowners, property managers, and businesses alike.

So which team do you need today?
