Your Crossville Movers

Keep with you anything you or your family will use on the day of your move with you. Common items include snacks, toilet paper, paper towel, phone chargers, a change of clothes, toothbrush/toothpaste, and your kids’ favorite toys. Additionally, medications, important paperwork (e.g., birth certificates and social security cards), and anything highly valuable or sentimental (jewelry, credit cards, bank account information, etc.) should be set aside. On your moving day, place these essential items in a box or bag that you’ll carry with you to your new home. 

Even with additional valuation coverage, items with a value greater than $100/pound, such as jewelry, coins, stamps, and other highly valuable items, must be individually identified and their value declared before you move. Be sure to ask your mover about these items, because without identification, even with additional valuation coverage, such items included in your household goods shipment are limited to a maximum value of $100/pound.

With more than 40 years of experience in the moving industry, we are well equipped to handle any move situation. From local to long-distance moves, business and in-home moving, packing services, and storage solutions – we are able to take the stress out of your move, and get you where you need to go. We have a 96 percent customer referral rate across our system, proving we truly are the Movers Who Care®”!

We offer additional valuation coverage as an optional benefit to our customers who want it. We just want to make sure YOU have a choice. We will ask you to sign an acknowledgement for the valuation coverage you choose so we both understand your express selection of that level of valuation.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK reserves the right to repair any damaged goods, or replace, them with items of like kind and quality at our discretion.

You can often get boxes straight from the moving company you hire. Alternatively, large hardware stores often carry a good selection of moving supplies. Keep in mind, the size of your vehicle when picking up your boxes. Many large and medium boxes will not fit in two-door or small, four-door vehicles without having to be folded, which can damage the structural integrity of the box. Make sure to ask about the return policy for boxes in case you buy more than you need. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, for example, will purchase back any unused boxes whereas other companies may not.

If you are reusing old boxes or getting boxes from a retail or grocery store, check to make sure the boxes are clean, free of bugs, and do not have water damage, mold, or other structural damage that could cause the box to buckle during the move. While you can save money using free or old boxes, you do run the risk that they could cause damage to your items during the move.  

There is no single best box for moving. Different items require different types of moving boxes. To avoid damage during the move, you’ll want a combination of standard sized boxes:

• Small box (1.5 ft³): best for heavy items such as books, canned goods, shoes, etc.
• Medium box (3 ft³): best for items without a uniform shape such as lamps, lamp shades, or small kitchen appliances.
• Large box (4.5 ft³) and extra-large box (6 ft³): best for light items like pillows and bedding.
• Picture box: best for framed artwork, mirrors, and other thin items that are fragile and breakable.
• Dish barrel and dish pack inserts: best for packing dishes and other fragile kitchen items.
• Wardrobe box: best for clothes on hangers.

All major credit cards are accepted. Additional payment options may vary by location.

Please do not pack jewelry, coins, cash, collectables, extremely fragile items, liquids/food, illegal substances, anything flammable, ammunition/firearms of any kind, hazardous materials, nail polish/nail polish remover, and batteries.

The delivery charge is included in your all-inclusive price as long as you are moving back to a residence hall. If you are not moving into a residence hall, please call our sales team to get an estimate.

Generally, moving companies can give you an estimate over the phone. In some cases, movers may need to visit your home in person to give you an accurate quote. If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you may need an in-home estimate:

• Is your home 1,500 square feet or larger?
• Do you have any large or bulky items (e.g., safes or pianos) that may be difficult to move safely and securely?
• Does your home have any narrow hallways, doorways, or stairways that furniture cannot fit through?
• Will movers have difficulty parking a 26 ft. truck close to your home?
• Are you moving out of state?

The best time to book your upcoming move is at least one month before your desired moving date. Moving schedules fill up fast, especially during the spring and summer months, so you’ll want to give yourself enough time to land on your local franchise’s schedule with your preferred move date.  

This depends on your personal situation. Hiring professionals like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK ensures your entire move is taken care of by our teams, while moving yourself means you’ll be responsible for doing the heavy lifting, renting a truck, finding help, and more. You can see more about the differences between moving yourself and hiring professional movers here.

Yes, but you must identify exactly the items for which the coverage is purchased, and declare a corresponding increase in the value of your household goods shipment, before we begin your move.
