All movers and drivers at our franchise complete the following training:
The training doesn’t stop there, either. All frontline employees receive ongoing training and are required to attend monthly safety meetings to stay up-to-date on the best moving techniques.

We can pack a few items, a single room, or even your entire house so that you can relax and focus on more important aspects of your move.

Our business began in Lansing 30 years ago and over time, we’ve learned the ins and outs of moving on the Michigan State University campus. Our expert team and climate-controlled storage facility will take the hassle out of your move home this summer.
We've partnered with MSU to develop an efficient system for moving students on and off campus, and our storage facilities will allow you to transport belongings right back into your new housing arrangements once college starts up again. We also offer various boxes/supplies and packages to fit your needs.
One of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®’s core values is THE GRANDMA RULE® which means we treat everyone the way you would want your Grandma to be treated. When it comes to our community’s seniors, we know that moving can be super stressful because these moves often involve leaving the only home they have known for years, and possibly downsizing into a smaller facility. Our movers strive to make this process as easy as possible and we’re more than happy to go the extra mile to ease the stress of such a relocation. As we mentioned before, we are proud of our 96% referral rating, and many of the customers who refer us are seniors and their families.

Whether you are moving an entire office building to a new location or relocating a few fixtures within the same property, we know how to get the job done quickly and easily.
In order to help your employees seamlessly move their belongings and supplies, we can deliver crates to pack in advance of the move. This helps expedite the process and keeps items organized to ensure they end up in the optimal final location. Our professional movers can even help assemble cubicles and conference rooms!
