Two Men And A Truck

Relocation creates stress and logistical demands for households and offices, which Two Men And A Truck addresses through professional moving services. The business began in the early 1980s as an after school venture started by high school brothers Brig and Jon Sorber in Lansing, Michigan. Their mother, Mary Ellen Sheets, formally established the company in 1985, investing $350 to buy a 14 foot truck and hire two movers. That was the only capital she invested in the company. The first franchised office opened in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1989 under the leadership of her daughter, Melanie Bergeron. By mid 2024 and the close of 2025, the system had more than 430 locations and 3,000 trucks worldwide. It operates in 48 U.S. states, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, and is recognized as the fastest growing franchised moving company in the United States. PeerSense reviews the opportunity with independent information rather than promotional marketing.

Two Men And A Truck operates in the household and office goods moving category, where demand is supported by housing activity, workforce mobility, remote work flexibility, and the relocation needs of an aging population. E commerce also creates demand for specialized handling, transportation, and storage. Moving remains a necessary service across economic cycles. The industry is fragmented among local independent operators, while franchised companies offer a more standardized structure. Urbanization, suburbanization, and the growing complexity of household possessions create additional demand for insured and efficient services. Two Men And A Truck brings an established brand and broad network to these market conditions. A specific total addressable market size is not provided.

The 35 franchise transfers recorded in 2025 may create opportunities for new single unit owners, multi unit operators, and buyers of existing businesses. Expansion priorities include California, where 13 markets remain after 25 are expected to open within 60 days, along with New Jersey and New York City.
