Two Men and a Truck is pricier than Mayzlin Relocation, but they cost more for a reason. When we spoke with our Two Men and a Truck rep, we learned that Two Men and a Truck works exclusively in-house. The only people touching your stuff will be from their own vetted teams.
The price difference seems pretty steep, but we always caution against going with whoever’s cheaper. Depending on the services you need, you may be better off with Two Men and a Truck – especially if you want the peace of mind of an entirely in-house operation.
Moving APT is one of our favorites. They offer a solid balance of quality versus price, so they’re pretty hard to beat. Two Men and a Truck is more expensive, but unlike Moving APT, they offer exclusively in-house service. They also a wider range of services.
If you’re trying to decide between Moving APT and Two Men and a Truck, it comes down to how much you’re willing to spend, and which services you absolutely can’t live without. Need junk removal, or just want to know exactly who’ll show up on moving day? Two Men and a Truck is your pick.
When asked about a two-bedroom move from Berkeley to Miami, and we received quotes from $1400 to $25000. When we spoke to our rep, he explained that Two Men and a Truck provides two different options: One is full packing and hauling, and one is crating and shipping.
When you choose full packing and hauling, Two Men and a Truck will handle every step of your relocation. They’ll pack your stuff and carry it to your destination. On the other hand, if you just want the crating option, they’ll still do the packing for you – but they’ll load your stuff into a secure crate to be transported by a freight company.
If you want to save money on your move, go for the crating option. You’ll still get secure packing, and you’ll still get quality service from Two Men and a Truck. The main difference is it gets shipped by a trusted freight company to a Two Men and a Truck branch that’s close to your destination before it arrives at your doorstep.
Erika, the crating specialist at Two Men and a Truck, emailed us with a quote for how much the move would cost if I chose their value flex crating option.
We also asked about direct service. It’s a lot more expensive, but takes less time.
Our rep mentioned three different ways to save: choosing the crating option, using a military discount, and scheduling a move on a weekday instead of a weekend. Two Men and a Truck doesn’t spike their prices when moves are in high demand, so their pricing stays consistent.
| Type of Discount | Potential Savings |
|---|---|
| Value Flex Crating | About $10,000 |
| Military Discounts | Varies by franchise |
| Weekday Pricing | Varies depending on scheduling |
We went undercover and called up Two Men and a Truck to get the inside scoop on what it’s like to move with one of their teams. We spoke with Jon, who was a really helpful rep. He answered all of our questions, and asked plenty of his own to make sure we were all on the same page.
Like many other moving companies, the first step to booking a move with Two Men and a Truck was to call in. We didn’t have to wait on hold for very long, and there wasn’t a complicated menu, either. In about a minute, we connected with Jon, and he took it from there.
We asked Jon if we could provide an inventory list to get a quote, and he said it’d be no problem. Two Men and a Truck doesn’t require an in-home estimate, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with a house call. Instead, your rep will look over your inventory, calculate the price, and send you two quotes: one for crating, and one for full-service hauling.
The last step is to confirm your moving date. Once you look over the quote and you’re satisfied with the deal they’re giving you, you can commit to your move with Two Men and a Truck. Their in-house moving teams will handle the rest, whether you want your stuff crated and shipped or just hauled in one of their trucks.
“I used two men and a truck to help me with a last-minute move from one apartment to another. Jorge and Kevin were early, friendly, and very cautious and diligent to make sure that all of my belongings were carefully wrapped and loaded. Since the services are charged by how long the move takes, I would say that they were efficient in making sure that no time was wasted. I would recommend this company for anyone looking for movers in Miami. Thanks again! Cheers!!!“

“I don’t recommend the company. I had a bad experience with the service since they took many hours to provide the service. After the payment on the day of the moving they charged me another extra amount 2 days after completed the moving. They made a non authorized debit in my credit card and also they broke my tv stand and now I’m going through a claim process. Not a serious company.”

Two Men and a Truck has locations all across the United States. Since each branch operates semi-independently, it’s tough to find reviews for the company as a whole. We looked up reviews for our destination (Miami), and found some Google feedback for their Doral branch. Some of it was good, but a few customers had rough experiences.
Two Men and a Truck is a solid choice if you want a variety of moving options and solid customer service. Their options for transportation and packing are pretty unique, but a great resource if you’re trying to save some cash.
Unfortunately, we’ve seen some pretty rough reviews of their services. Two Men and a Truck operates over 300 franchises across the US, and some of their branches are clearly a little more capable than others.
We recommend Two Men and a Truck if you’d prefer to deal with in-house movers. Just make sure you research the branch that’s closest to you, and closest to your destination – these are the ones you’ll be dealing with the most.
Two Men and a Truck is a carrier. They use their own in-house teams for the packing, loading, customer service, and storage. Jon was adamant that the only people touching our stuff would be from Two Men and a Truck, with the only exception being their freight transporter if we decided to go with the crating option.
In the moving industry, a binding estimate means you’re paying what you’ve been quoted. The price you get with a binding estimate is set in stone, and your movers can’t change the price before, during, or after moving day. If you add more stuff after you get your quote, you may have to get a new contract.
Two Men and a Truck has branches all over the US. They have over 300 locations, and each location has their own ratings and reviews. We did a check through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and found that their company was first registered in Oregon.
The cheapest way to move is usually to DIY the whole thing. Unfortunately, once you factor in the price of gas, food, lodging, and all those missed work hours, your savings may not be what you’d expect. Sometimes it’s worth paying a little more for full service and a stress-free move.
When you book a full service move, you’re getting a completely hands-off relocation. Your movers will pack up all your belongings, load your stuff into the truck, transport it, and unpack reassemble, and rearrange your whole house. If the VIP treatment sounds good to you, it’s worth every penny.
At Moving Feedback, we take our research seriously. We’re committed to bringing you accurate and up-to-date info about the big players in the moving industry, and we’re always on the lookout for an insider’s perspective.
When we review a mover, we pull out all the stops. We call in, pose as customers, and ask plenty of questions to see whether a moving company is worth your time. We run through the whole booking process, and we also cross-reference the info we get on our call with the info we see online.
Our team also have over 10 years of moving industry experience to pull from. We know what a scam looks like, and we know what red flags to watch out for. By going undercover and thoroughly researching these moving companies, we hope we can help you choose the right mover for the job.
