Career Development

Here at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we believe strongly in the phrase “More Than Just Movers”. This isn’t just a job; it’s a place to advance your career and grow, both personally and professionally. Moving our customers is important, but it’s equally as important to help move our talented team members forward, too.

This is why we work hard to offer a variety of opportunities for career advancement across our brand. Whether you’re a mover, driver, customer service representative, franchise manager – or even a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Michigan Support Center member – there are ways for you to learn and grow around every corner.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Throughout the franchise network specifically, you’ll find numerous franchise owners who started off as movers before working their way up to become business owners. With programs like the Mary Ellen Moving People Forward Scholarship, the Frontline Foundation Program, and the Managers Moving Forward Program, as well as educational courses through the brand’s internal educational platform, Stickmen University®, there’s no shortage of opportunities to improve your skills and advance your career.

“I chose to enroll in the Managers Moving Forward Program after seeing a presentation at Annual Meeting. I saw some of the focus areas were weaknesses of mine, and I figured it would be beneficial to address those. The experience has been awesome, and all of the content has led to processes I can implement at my franchise to make it better. If you aren’t growing, you’re dying, and I’d prefer the former over the latter!”
