Before you book Two Men and A Truck
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC797856
Two Men and A Truck can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC797856. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask about the 1 out-of-service order
1 of Two Men and A Truck's 4 vehicle inspections ended with a truck taken off the road (25.0%, against 19.0% for all listed movers). Ask what failed, whether it was fixed, and which truck would do your move.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Two Men and A Truck driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $505 – $831
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Cedar Rapids at $505 – $831 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $4,824 – $6,432. A surveyed, written estimate from Two Men and A Truck far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
