Moving, Storage, and Junk Removal. Your St. Louis Metro East Movers Who Care® Since 1994
In 1994, we started TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® St. Louis out of a Kirkwood basement with one truck and a phone book advertisement. What began as a small one-truck and two-men operation quickly grew, and in 1995, we moved our office to Brentwood. Our growth continued, and our parking spaces rapidly began to fill with trucks. In 2004, we consolidated all our offices into one large facility in Sunset Hills, which ultimately allowed us to serve the entire area quickly and conveniently. The demand for our services in the St. Louis Metro East area encouraged us to open an office in Collinsville, Illinois, in 2004. We recently moved again to a much larger 15,000-square-foot facility in Collinsville. Our new office now includes full service, temperature-controlled storage, and junk removal. We operate a 12-truck fleet out of this office and do not plan to stop growing!
