Happy Customers!

Michele from Brookfield writes:
Our movers were great. We will use 2 Men and a Truck the next time we need movers. Thank you.  Good job James and Mark C!

Gary and Julia from Waukesha write:
I am not often pleasantly surprised, and I don't usually find people who work harder than I do. Mark C. and Tim showed-up on-time with the truck and started right away. I actually saw them **RUNNING, UP** the ramp to the truck - with a desk on a dolly - up and into the truck! I couldn't be happier with their attitude and their handling of my stuff. I can whole-heartedly recommend Two Men and a Truck for prompt and helpful moving services! Thank you James and Mark C!

Keep up the good work guys!!!

Angela from Dousman writes:
This is the second time we've had Chris and Richard as our movers. They are very professional and congenial fellows. They did a great job with our move. I needed to put felt pads on the bottoms of some pieces of furniture and they were very helpful with that. Chris also figured out how to put a mirror on a very old dresser, which had a built-in mechanism for assembly. Thanks for the nice job. Thank you Chris and Richard for the good work!!


Suzanne from Waukesha writes:

Marge was great and patient on the phone with me. I didn't have all the information I needed to give her and she wasn't upset or rude! She was very pleasant to talk to! And the guys who came to the office were friendly and efficient! Thank you!!

Moving Tips- What happens if it's raining?

Will the mover's still move if it's raining?  Of course we will!  No matter rain, snow, or sun our mover’s will be ready to move your furniture.  The mover’s will make sure to pad and stretch wrap all furniture pieces in the house.  Once the items are in the truck, the mover’s will wipe off any moisture on the furniture to avoid any water damage.  Upon delivery, providing a towel to wipe off any moisture will help prevent water damage.  Since rain leads to mud, we suggest putting down carpet shield (we sell it in our office), old rugs, or broken down boxes on the floors and carpet in your house to prevent dirt stains.

Beware of Used Boxes



People sometimes try to pack their belongings in used boxes to save money.  Beware.  Do  you really know where those boxes have been?  Produce and other boxes often become weakened from moisture of transportation or product spoilage. Additionally, insects often nest in used boxes.

Use clear packing tape only - Make sure to seal your boxes with clear packing tape.  Duct tape doesn't adhere well to corrugated cardboard.   Boxes put together with duct tape will fall apart.


TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® offers a wide selection of competitively priced moving boxes and packing supplies including packing tape, packing paper, markers, paper moving pads, bubble wrap and stretch wrap, and more.

We'll give you a full refund for any boxes you don't use. Remember as you pack — the heavier the item, the smaller the box.

Here are our most popular sizes:

1.5 cubic foot moving box – the smallest box sold at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, it's often referred to as the book or record box; best used for small heavy objects like books, records, cans, jars of food, utensils, flatware, shoes, etc.

3 cubic foot moving box – referred to as the lamp or lampshade box; frequently used interchangeably with the 1.5 cubic foot box
 4.5 cubic foot moving box – as the box gets larger, use for lighter objects such as pillows, bedding and stuffed animals

6 cubic foot box – use for light objects; if you pack heavy items in this box it will be difficult to move

Moving Tips – Cords/Cables/Small Parts:





When putting things back together after a move, it’s the little things that can be so daunting.  Here are some ideas to get your life running smoothly again:

Cable Labels  Before you find yourself with a jumble of unpluggled wires without a clue which input to stick them in, take a few minutes to properly label all your cables and their inputs.  Take mailing labels or a piece of tape and write what the wire is used for.   Wrap the sticker around the cable.   For example:  “TV to DVD” or “DVD Power Cord.”  Or, if you mark the cord with a letter of the alphabet, you can put a corresponding sticker on your electronic devices to know where to input the cable, such as Stereo Cord “A” fits into Input “A” on the stereo.

Some people find using their digital or cell phone camera useful to take pictures of how their wiring (television/DVD/speaker system) is hooked up.  Be sure to use plenty of light and careful focus so the pictures will be clear.   Print the pictures and put it in the top of the box holding the item. This will make hooking up the items in your new place much easier. 

Small Parts When taking apart items to be moved such as tables, securely tape screws and other small parts in a clear plastic bag or envelope to the underside of the item. You’ll always know where they are and it will save time putting things back together.  (Just in case, you might want to put a small note in with the parts in case they become dislodged.)

Here's To The Great American Worker!

For a lot of people, Labor Day means two things: a day off and the end of summer. But did you ever wonder why is it called Labor Day?

 
Labor Day is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers like you and me. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions we workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.  It is always celebrated on the first Monday in September.

 
In honor of Labor Day, Two Men And A Truck® says, “Leave the labor to us. Sit back, relax and enjoy your family while Two Men And A Truck® takes care of your move.”  


 Here's to the American worker and here's to our great American country. Have a safe and happy holiday!

·         Make sure you know your children's friends and where they are at all times.
·         Set consistent bedtimes to assure 8-9 hours of sleep.

It's important to remember that we are our children's first and most important teacher.
