It’s been a long, eventful road for TWO MEN AND A TRUCK since brothers Brig Sorber and Jon Sorber began hauling trash and then home goods with a pickup truck in the Lansing, Michigan area in the early 1980s. Intended as a way for the brothers to make a little extra cash before going off to college, word of mouth spread fast and when the boys left for college, their mom continued running the business.
Since this time, the brand has expanded into one of the largest franchised moving companies in the country – spanning 47 states and even four different countries – as we’ve helped millions of people with moving for over four decades. One thing that has remained constant is the hard work of our frontline teams, and the brand wouldn’t be what it is today without their dedication over the years.
From those very first days of the Sorber brothers moving customers locally to now with moving teams at more than 370 locations across America, these heavy lifters keep us moving forward.
You might see our moving teams in your neighborhood now with our professional moving trucks, moving equipment, and uniforms, but we really started as just a local moving operation back in the day!
Let’s take a trip down memory lane and see just how much a TWO MEN A TRUCK frontline team has evolved over the years.
Enjoy!
