Your Professional Move Teams

All TWO MEN AND A TRUCK move teams are professionally trained, background-checked, and drug tested before they stop foot onto a truck. Our crews undergo extensive training to ensure they are prepared for all aspects when it comes to moving before they show up for their first job at a customer’s home. The training process for our teams is structured so that movers and drivers are up-to-date on the best moving practices and techniques, which is broken down into a structured process:

Before offer letter. Prior to officially hiring someone as a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK mover or driver, they must undergo the following to ensure they are an ideal candidate to be part of the team, and can be a trusted employee in being part of customers’ moving journeys:

• Interview with management team
• Background-check
• Drug screening

This training can provide customers with peace of mind in knowing their items are in the hands of professionals, who truly know the ins and outs when it comes to moving.

How TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Protects Your Belongings and Home

With TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, protection of your items is a top priority. Our professional crews offer a variety of packing and unpacking services and supplies to ensure all of your belongings, from your bedside table to your fine china, make it safely to your new home. Using top-of-the-line equipment, all furniture is padded and stretch-wrapped to ensure there are no damages during transit, and our teams use specialty paper and boxes, as well as bubble wrap, for those more fragile items. And, our movers and drivers complete a full walkthrough of the new home, using door jams, carpet shields, and floor runners to protect the interior of the home, before any boxes make it through the front door.

Items TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Cannot Move

Items TWO MEN AND A TRUCK cannot move include prescription drugs or medicines, machine or gas engine items, animals, plants, flammable items, and sentimental belongings such as cash, jewelry, insurance papers, or birth certificates.

Frequently Asked Mover Questions

Are the movers and drivers permanent employees or day labor?

All TWO MEN AND A TRUCK movers and drivers are permanent employees of their franchise location; we do not use day labor.

Are movers and drivers trained before they complete a move?

Yes. While each training may vary slightly by franchise as each location is individually owned and operated, all of our move crews take part in an extensive training process before they step foot into a customer’s home. This training includes:

• Instructional and educational videos
• Learning the do’s and don’ts of moving
• Understanding of moving techniques and practices, including how to stretch wrap and lift furniture
• Navigating through tight corners and stairways while preventing any potential damages
• Practice in packing, unpacking, loading, and unloading boxes onto the truck and into the home
• How to properly label moving boxes
• Reviewing the technical and billing side when it comes time to complete the move

What type of insurance and licensing do the move crews carry?

All TWO MEN AND A TRUCK locations and crews are licensed, bonded, and insured.

How much do professional movers charge?

Move charges at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK vary by location. Each TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise is independently owned and operated, which means each location has its own set of rates. Most franchises charge hourly for home and business moves and by weight for long-distance relocations.

Contact your local TWO MEN AND A TRUCK office for more information on long-distance moving pricing.

Why should I hire professional movers over completing the move on my own? 

When you hire professional movers, you are guaranteed a stress-free, seamless experience from start to finish. Moving can often be one of life’s most stressful events. Think about it- you must take inventory of what you want to take to your new home versus what you plan to donate, pack up all of your most valuable belongings, ensure their safety during the transit, and then, after a long day, you still need to unbox everything in your new space. It can feel overwhelming to say the least when you choose to move on your own. That’s why so many choose to contact TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, your Movers Who Care®. Our team of professionally trained, background-checked movers come equipped with top-of-the-line equipment and packing supplies so you can rest easy in knowing your items (and your new home) will be safe throughout their entire move journey.
