Two Men and a Truck

What began as a simple way for two brothers to earn extra money has transformed into America's largest franchised moving company. Founded in the early 1980s by Brig and Jon Sorber in Lansing, Michigan, TWO MEN, AND A TRUCK has grown from a single pickup truck into a global enterprise with more than 380 locations spanning 48 U.S. states and three countries. The company's remarkable journey took shape when Mary Ellen Sheets, the brothers' mother, took over the business after her sons left for college. In 1985, she invested just $350 in a 14-foot truck and hired two movers—the only personal investment she ever made in the company. This modest beginning laid the foundation for what would become an international moving empire. What distinguishes TWO MEN AND A TRUCK from competitors is their unwavering commitment to customer service excellence. Their professionally trained and background-checked movers handle belongings with exceptional care, while their comprehensive service offerings address virtually every moving need. From local and long-distance relocations to specialized services such as piano moving and junk removal, the company has evolved far beyond its name's suggestion. A significant milestone occurred in 1989 when Sheets was awarded the first franchise, having recognized the business's expansion potential. Today, under the leadership of President Randy Shacka and CFO Brant Hartle, the company continues to thrive, with Sara Bennett serving as Chief Talent Officer and Greg Weller as CEO of parent company ServiceMaster Brands. The iconic logo—a simple line drawing featuring two stick figures—has remained unchanged since the company's inception, serving as a testament to its enduring values despite its remarkable growth. While they've expanded their services to include packing, storage solutions, and moving supplies, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK maintains the same personalized approach that has earned them industry leadership for more than four decades.
