Buy a Two Men and a Truck Franchise

Two Men and a Truck is the largest franchised moving company in the United States, operating a network that spans more than 400 locations across 47 US states and into Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The brand was founded more than 40 years ago and began franchising not long after, making it one of the most established names in residential and commercial moving services.

The business operates on a staffed model: franchisees employ their own trained moving crews rather than relying on subcontractors, running multiple revenue lines from a single location. Core services cover local and long-distance moving, packing and unpacking, storage (on-site warehouse, portable, and vaulted options), junk removal, business relocation, and delivery services.

The company is headquartered in Lansing, Michigan, where more than 200 subject matter experts staff the Support Center. Having completed over 10 million moves, the brand is known for its strong community values and customer-centric culture, embodied in its “Grandma rule” which requires movers to treat every customer how they would want their own grandmother treated. The brand trades on a 96% customer referral rate and operates five branded community cause programs across its franchise network, including Movers for Moms® and Movers for Military®.
