This company is a franchise network — each location is independently owned and operated under the brand's name and standards. Service quality, pricing, and management responsiveness can vary noticeably from one franchise to another, even within the same city.

Review data below reflects the Two Men and a Truck, Lansing, MI (the brand's founding location) location specifically — Two Men and a Truck operates through many independently run locations, so this is one representative sample, not the entire national network. Pulled 2026-08-12. See how we select and review movers.

Two Men and a Truck in one paragraph

Every recent review we sampled at this location was positive — consistent praise for named crews, fair pricing, and clear communication. Two Men and a Truck is primarily a local and regional mover, not a coast-to-coast van line.

What Two Men and a Truck typically offers

  • Full-service packing and unpacking
  • Loading, transport, and unloading for interstate moves
  • Storage-in-transit for moves where the destination isn't ready yet
  • Furniture disassembly and reassembly
  • Vehicle/auto shipping, in most cases
  • Corporate and government relocation, for larger agents

Confirm which of these your specific move includes — not every location or crew offers every service, especially for agent-network and franchise brands.

How booking with Two Men and a Truck works

  1. Request a quote online or by phone, and ask for an in-home or video walkthrough survey for anything larger than a 1-bedroom.
  2. Review the written estimate — confirm whether it's binding, non-binding, or binding-not-to-exceed, and what's included.
  3. Get written booking confirmation for your specific date, not just a completed survey.
  4. Crew arrives to pack (if included) and load on moving day; do a walkthrough with the crew lead before they leave.
  5. Your shipment transits to the destination — ask for a specific delivery window and how you'll be updated.
  6. At delivery, inspect items against the inventory sheet before signing off — note any damage in writing immediately.

Protection plans and valuation coverage

Like most interstate movers, Two Men and a Truck is required to offer basic released-value protection (about 60 cents per pound per item) at no extra cost — it rarely covers what your belongings are actually worth. Full-value protection costs more but covers repair or replacement at current value. Given the damage and claims themes in the reviews below, it's worth reading how estimate types affect your final bill and binding vs. non-binding estimates before you sign anything.

  • Every one of the 15 most recent reviews we sampled was 4 or 5 stars

Where Two Men and a Truck falls short

  • Primarily a local/regional mover — franchise coverage and long-distance capability vary a lot by location
  • As a franchise network, the crew and management quality at your local franchise may differ from this Lansing location's reviews
  • This sample didn't surface a specific recurring complaint — worth checking your local franchise's own reviews too

“The movers did a great job moving my large leather sectional, however the driver accidentally backed into my brick mailbox and knocked it over but thankfully it did not break. The company was very supportive & quickly sent a team of workers to my house to pick up the very heavy mailbox and put it back where it belonged. So in summary, this company did a good job of moving my furniture at a reasonable price and has great customer service.”

“Two Men and a Truck Moving and Storage for my MSU student was above and beyond and hassle free! CSR AJ is such a pleasure to work with and always so friendly and knowledgeable.

5/5 — Joshua Duquette, 2026-03-16

“I hired Two Men and a Truck for a move about 5 months ago. I had used them before with a good experience so felt safe in hiring again. However, this time didn’t come close to my original experience. They sent two new people in training with the 3rd person being more supervisory. Being that they were inexperienced, they took 2x as long as it should have, didn’t move things with care, dropped several totes and broke a lot of sentimental items and glassware. They also damaged the home I...”

1/5 — Liz Storey, 2026-03-13

“If you enjoy being robbed in broad daylight, this is the moving company for you! Being charged double the driving time, time wasting, broken furniture that hasn’t been offered to cover the cost of, $200 for 3 weeks of storage (double the amount I was quoted for a month), and hounded for payment, this is what you will experience. Also, being refused to use a different company to remove your items from their storage due to the disgraceful bill you’ll receive because you don’t want to use...”

1/5 — Elani, 2026-03-12

“Baylee, Trey, and Ezekiel did a marvelous job in the pouring rain with wrapping, shrink wrapping and carrying a piano, 2 desks, 2 dressers, a stack unit, and large pictures!”

5/5 — Betsy Salvador, 2026-02-24

5/5 — Syndi Burtley, 2026-02-19

“Big shout out to George & Espen!! My wife and I are hard to impress. We are both hard workers and both struggle to find a strong and respectable work ethic in today's younger generation. These two knocked it out of the park! Being young and spry serves them well, but they went above and beyond. Very professional. Shook our hands upon arrival and before they exited. Old school, but impactful. Spoke to us with kindness and respect. They hustled!! Clearly no grass growing under their feet. They...”

“Great service at a competitive price. I had a safe I ordered and needed moved from the garage and into the house, and called around to a few different businesses. Two Men and a Truck were both competitively priced and had good availability. Based on previous reviews, I went ahead and booked. Crew not only communicated well and showed up when they said they would, but were very professional and efficient with the move. I've moved multiple times across the country for work as well as multiple...”
