TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is the first and largest franchised moving company in the world, aiming to provide our customers with the highest level of service in both local and long-distance moving, as well as packing, storage, and in-home moving services. We move homes, apartments, sky rise office buildings, businesses, and everything in between – from very small to very large. With more than 35 years of experience in the moving industry, we tailor each move to fit our customers’ needs and budget.
We pride ourselves on providing innovative and convenient service options, and we continue to take customer feedback while conducting research on logistics and technology to offer the highest quality service and experience to customers. With our new portable container technology, we’re now able to offer customers portable storage solutions, as well as flexible pricing in long-distance relocation with our new Value Flex® moving service. Franchises across the system are implementing these new service options, which not only helps extend our reach and services across Canada, but gives our franchisees even more service opportunities to grow their businesses and increase their revenues.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s commitment to providing outstanding customer has been consistently recognized with a 96 percent customer referral rating and numerous awards and accolades received as a company.
These accolades include TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s Canadian Franchise Association awards, including the Award of Excellence, and Franchisee’s Choice Awards for 12 consecutive years, and in the Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchisee 500 list 22 of the last 24 years.
Founder Mary Ellen Sheets said it best, “TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is a franchised customer service company that simply happens to provide moving services and we have earned a 96% referral rate to prove it!”
Over the course of 35 years, the once small moving business has blossomed into an international corporation with more than 3,000 trucks and more than 350 locations worldwide. This is all thanks to Mary Ellen’s dedication and passion for the brand.
What started as a part-time job for brothers Brig Sorber and Jon Sorber in the early 80s, has grown internationally with locations in The United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. We’re proud of our system’s achievements and recognition as one of the top franchising opportunities in the country through various accolades.
At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we put a heavy emphasis on staying active locally and giving back in our communities through various charitable efforts. Mary Ellen donated her first $1,000 in profits to 10 local charities, establishing a precedent of giving that has carried on for over 35years. This mindset, in addition to following through each of the company core values, spans across each of our locations and it is this spirit that gives meaning to the company’s motto: “Movers Who Care®.”
