Is Two Men and a Truck licensed for interstate moves?
Yes. Two Men and a Truck holds active interstate operating authority (MC1074016, status active) on USDOT 3356419, declares household goods as cargo, and has not been assigned a safety rating, which means no compliance review has been completed; that is the position of most carriers on the register and is not a mark against it.
As an independent carrier, Two Men and a Truck is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 3356419; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.

Before you book Two Men and a Truck: six questions
Ask these on the first call. The answers matter more than the ranking, and an established carrier answers all six without hesitation.
- Will your own employees load, drive and deliver, or is the far end subcontracted?
- Will my shipment be consolidated with other households, and how does that change the delivery window?
- Is the estimate binding, non-binding or binding not-to-exceed, and was it based on a video or in-home survey?
- What is the delivery window in writing, and what do you pay if you miss it?
- What does full-value protection cost on my shipment, and what is the deductible?
- Is USDOT 3356419 the number that will appear on my bill of lading?
Then run the six checks in how to check a moving company, and read the nine red flags so you recognise the ones that do not apply here.

Two Men and a Truck FAQ
Is Two Men and a Truck a licensed interstate moving company?
Yes. Two Men and a Truck holds active interstate operating authority (MC1074016, status active) on USDOT 3356419, declares household goods as cargo, and has not been assigned a safety rating, which means no compliance review has been completed; that is the position of most carriers on the register and is not a mark against it. As an independent carrier, Two Men and a Truck is the company that quotes, loads, drives and delivers under its own number. The USDOT on your bill of lading should be 3356419; a different number means another carrier has been brought in, which is something to ask about before loading day rather than after.
What is Two Men and a Truck's USDOT number?
3356419. Its operating authority docket is MC1074016 and its legal name on the register is Bulldog Movers LLC. Look the number up on the FMCSA's SAFER system to see authority status, insurance on file, the safety rating and the inspection and crash record; the record on this page was pulled on 2026-09-24.
How big is Two Men and a Truck?
Two Men and a Truck filed 32 power units and 35 drivers on its latest MCS-150, which makes it the 100th largest of the 100 eligible interstate household-goods carriers on the register and the 1st largest of the 1 independent carriers among them. The largest, United Van Lines, files 4,731 power units; the median for the 100 is 55.
Does Two Men and a Truck have a good safety rating?
Two Men and a Truck is unrated: the FMCSA has not completed a compliance review of it. That is the position of most carriers on the register and is not a negative mark; the ratings to avoid are Conditional and Unsatisfactory, and carriers holding either are excluded from our list. The inspection and crash figures on SAFER show the current picture.
Is Two Men and a Truck a van line, an agent or an independent mover?
An independent carrier. Two Men and a Truck moves households under its own authority with its own trucks and crews rather than through a van-line network, so the company you book is the company that turns up. Ask how it handles the far end of a long move: its own crew, a partner carrier, or consolidation with other shipments.
How much does Two Men and a Truck charge for a long-distance move?
Two Men and a Truck does not publish a rate card and we do not hold its quotes; every long-distance price is set by weight, distance, date and the survey. From our published model a three-bedroom home over 1,000 miles should quote near $5,175 – $6,900 for full-service movers, transport only, and $14,490 – $19,320 over 2,800 miles. Get a surveyed, binding not-to-exceed estimate from Two Men and a Truck and two other carriers and compare them against that range.
