Compare Two Men and a Truck to U-Pack

Where does Two Men and a Truck operate?

Each Two Men and a Truck franchise is independently owned, with locations in 48 states, Canada, Ireland, and the UK.

What types of services are offered by Two Men and a Truck?

Services can vary by location and typically include both local and long-distance moving solutions. Storage is also available for an additional fee.

Expedited moving

Most locations offer expedited long-distance moving. For this service, Two Men and a Truck provides a 26-foot truck with two workers to handle the move, including packing, loading, transportation and unloading.

Value Flex® shipping 

Select locations offer the Value Flex long-distance moving option. With this service, your things (up to 1,000 lbs.) are loaded into a cardboard shipping crate and transported with a third-party carrier. You’ll get a 5-business-day window of when to expect your belongings to arrive, but an exact delivery date can’t be guaranteed. 

Storage options

If you need storage with your move, Two Men and a Truck will unload belongings into a storage locker and then deliver them when you’re ready, for an extra fee. They will also unload items into local self-storage facilities. Both options involve loading and unloading belongings multiple times, which increases the risk of loss or damage.

What can I expect from Two Men and a Truck prices?

As a full-service mover, you can expect Two Men and a Truck’s rates to be at least 2-3 times higher than DIY options.

Each location determines rates based on the time it takes to pack, load and unload; the mileage between the origin and destination; and the weight of the shipment. Other factors that can influence pricing include flights of stairs and the distance to and from the truck at the origin or destination. 

Unpacking services and storage are available for additional fees. A deposit is required upon booking the move, and the amount may vary depending on the location. 

How do I get a Two Men and a Truck quote?

You can request a quote online or by phone, but you must provide an inventory list and a weight estimate of the belongings in the home. A company representative will likely visit to finalize the pricing. If the actual weight is heavier, the charge for the move may increase. 

Two Men and a Truck recommends an in-home estimate for:

• Homes over 1,500 square feet
• Moving out of state
• Bulky items like safes or pianos
• Homes with narrow doors, hallways or staircases
• Places where a moving truck cannot park close to your home

Unlike Two Men and a Truck, U-Pack service centers are not privately owned, so they have consistent regulations across every location. We serve all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. 

Rates

Rates include the equipment, transportation and fuel. If you need help loading or unloading, U-Pack can refer you to local moving labor. 

Equipment

We offer ReloCube® moving containers or space in a 28’ moving trailer. With ReloCubes, you can reserve as many as you might need and only pay for the ones used. We’ll pick up the extra empty Cubes at no cost! Cubes are constructed of weather-resistant metal, making them more durable than the cardboard Value Flex crate. Plus, they hold up to 2,500 lbs. of belongings.

If you’re using our moving trailer, you can use a minimum of 5 linear feet up to the whole length of the trailer and only pay for the space used. 

Services

Our flexible moving solutions include: 

• door-to-door delivery with average transit time of 4-6 business days
• guaranteed delivery available
• 3 business days for loading and 3 more for unloading
• storage (based on availability) 

Storage

U-Pack offers storage at our service centers, subject to availability. ReloCubes can be conveniently stored at a local service center until you’re ready for delivery. Customers using a moving trailer can store belongings for up to 4 months. Our customers rest easy knowing that less handling means a lower chance of damage to their belongings.
