LANSING, Mich.&nbsp;—<a href="https://franchise.twomenandatruck.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=40-years-franchise-growth-2729921" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®</a>, the 430+ unit full-service franchised moving company, is celebrating 40 years of service in 2025 with strong growth, charitable impact and systemwide momentum. With 15 franchise openings, 13 new signings and 21 transfers completed so far this year, the brand continues to demonstrate the strength of its model and the commitment of its franchise network. In total, eight new owner groups have joined the system in the first half of the year, with a goal of reaching 25 signings and 25 openings by the end of 2025.“We continue to hit new and big milestones, and I am incredibly proud of the<a href="https://1851franchise.com/twomenandatruck/info">&nbsp;TWO MEN AND A TRUCK</a> brand,” said Brand President <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/randyshacka/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=40-years-franchise-growth-2729921" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Randy Shacka</a>. “Day in and day out, our franchises across the country are committed to moving customers forward by providing top-notch customer service, ensuring moving day is as stress-free as possible as they start their new journey.”<h3>Movers for Moms® Campaign</h3>The brand’s annual<a href="https://twomenandatruck.com/movers-for-moms?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=40-years-franchise-growth-2729921" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Movers for Moms® campaign</a>, which supports women and families, set a new record in 2025, collecting 528,039 items across the United States — well beyond the 450,000-item goal. The campaign ran in 48 states and included 1,622 businesses, schools and community collection sites, a 15% increase in community participation compared to 2024. The top three collecting franchises were Sioux Falls, South Dakota (200,000 items), Jacksonville, Florida (20,000 items) and Reno, Nevada (18,850 items). In Canada, eight participating locations collected 6,264 items with help from 35 collection sites for the first time.Now celebrating four decades of business, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has completed more than 10 million moves and grown into a system of 270 franchisees with a 96% customer referral rate. What began with two brothers using a 1966 pickup truck in Lansing, Michigan, has expanded into a diversified service offering that includes junk removal, storage, packing, long-distance moves and moving supplies. The legacy of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK founder<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-ellen-sheets-43485a3/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=40-years-franchise-growth-2729921" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Mary Ellen Sheets</a>, who donated her first $1,000 in profits to 10 charities, continues through the company’s branded charitable programs:<a href="https://1851franchise.com/twomenandatruck/two-men-and-a-truck-supports-local-charities-through-fall-cause-campaigns-2724008#stories">&nbsp;Movers for Moms, Movers for Meals®, Movers for Military®, Movers for Mutts® and Truckload of Warmth®</a>. Over the years, franchises have donated $39.6 million, volunteered over 347,000 hours and collected more than 2 million items for those in need.<h3>Career Growth</h3>The company’s culture of advancement is equally strong. More than 75% of managers started in entry-level roles, and one in three franchisees began as frontline employees. Development programs like the<a href="https://careers.twomenandatruck.com/why-work-for-us/career-development?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=40-years-franchise-growth-2729921" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Mary Ellen’s Moving People Forward® Scholarship, Frontline Foundation and Managers Moving Forward</a> ensure career growth remains central to the company mission.This spring, the company’s Career Move Season initiative resulted in 7,006 hires across the system, surpassing the goal of 6,500. Career Move Season attracted 259,461 applicants between March and May, with hires spanning mover and driver roles as well as customer service, operations and management. In 2024, the system hired 16,774 people in total, with 7,777 during Career Move Season.“When an individual joins the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK team, they’re not just getting a job. They’re finding a community and family of choice, and they’re helping that community really become a part of something bigger,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/leah-ciolek-b83627173/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=40-years-franchise-growth-2729921" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Leah Ciolek</a>, recruiting and retention team lead.<h3>Military Moves</h3>With the recent changes to Permanent Change of Station (PCS) guidelines, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK recently launched enhanced military moving services for active duty, reserve, National Guard and veteran families. Military families can now receive 130% of moving costs to choose their own provider, and TWO MEN AND A TRUCK aims to offer the reliable, white-glove service. Military discounts are available at participating U.S. franchise locations with a valid ID. In addition to providing services, the brand aims to give back to veterans and their families through Movers for Military. Last year, the program collected 20,858 items for veterans’ organizations across the country.“Military families face frequent, stressful transitions, and having a professional, compassionate mover they can rely on makes a world of a difference,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-skaggs1385/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=40-years-franchise-growth-2729921" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ashley Skaggs</a>, senior director of sales.<h3>Busiest Move Weekend</h3>June marked the company’s busiest time of year, culminating in its<a href="https://twomenandatruck.com/blog/two-men-and-truck-franchises-nationwide-are-geared-and-ready-brands-busiest-move-weekend?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=40-years-franchise-growth-2729921" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;Busiest Move Weekend</a> from June 27 to June 29.

LANSING, Mich.&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.twomenandatruck.com/">TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®</a>,&nbsp;the full-service moving franchise with more than 430 locations and 3,000 trucks operating worldwide, is closing out 2025 after a successful year that included new franchise signings and openings across North America, expanded systemwide hiring, and the celebration of the brand’s 40th anniversary.Founded in 1985 as a small side business for two high school students in Lansing, Michigan, the brand has grown into an international moving company that has completed more than 10 million moves. Forty years later,&nbsp;<a href="https://twomenandatruck.com/">TWO MEN AND A TRUCK</a> continues to build on that legacy with a 96% customer referral rating and an expanding portfolio of services that includes local and long-distance moving, storage, packing, and boxes and supplies.“At the end of each year, it’s always important for us to reflect on whether we’re winning together,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/randyshacka/">Randy Shacka</a>, president of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK. “That means our franchisees, our customers, our communities and our internal teams as a franchisor. When I look back at 2025, I truly believe we are stronger today than when the year began.”Throughout 2025, the brand continued to strengthen its franchise network across the United States and Canada. The system recorded 35 franchise transfers, 19 new franchise openings and 15 new franchise signings, welcoming eight owners or ownership groups that were new to the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK brand.A major highlight of the year was the brand’s annual Career Move Season, a systemwide hiring initiative held from March through May to prepare franchises for peak moving season. The goal for 2025 was to hire 6,500 team members across North America — a target the brand exceeded with 7,006 hires from more than 259,000 applicants.While many roles filled were movers and drivers, franchises also added customer service representatives, marketers, office managers and bookkeepers. The initiative reflects the brand’s long-standing commitment to career development, with one in three franchisees having started as frontline employees and more than 75% of managers promoted from within.“Providing opportunities has always been part of our DNA,” Shacka said. “Our goal is that people come to TWO MEN AND A TRUCK and grow — whether that means building a long-term career here or leaving better prepared for whatever comes next.”June once again proved to be the busiest month of the year, culminating in the brand’s Busiest Move Weekend from June 27-29. Across those three days, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK teams completed 4,967 moves, drove more than 721,000 miles, deployed 6,043 crew members, and moved more than 15.3 million pounds of belongings.Shacka said the weekend highlighted the experience, preparation, and culture across the franchise system, with many locations finding ways to celebrate their teams while delivering high-quality service during peak demand.As TWO MEN AND A TRUCK marked its 40th anniversary, the brand reflected on a journey that began with a single pickup truck and grew into a global moving network. Over four decades, the company has logged more than 556 million miles traveled, delivered nearly 32 million service hours, and moved more than 21.6 billion pounds of belongings.The brand has also remained committed to giving back, continuing the legacy started by founder&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-ellen-sheets-43485a3/">Mary Ellen Sheets</a>. In 2025, franchises across the system participated in campaigns including&nbsp;Movers for Moms®,&nbsp;Movers for Meals®,&nbsp;Movers for Military®,&nbsp;Movers for Mutts® and&nbsp;Truckload of Warmth®, in addition to contributing to&nbsp;<a href="https://convoyofhope.org/">Convoy of Hope</a> and partnering with&nbsp;<a href="https://cheeriodicals.com/">Cheeriodicals</a>.In 2025, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK earned multiple national accolades, including recognition from Franchise Business Review and Entrepreneur, as well as Newsweek’s America’s Best Customer Service award. The brand was also ranked No. 122 on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®, taking first place in the moving and junk-removal category.“These recognitions aren’t our why,” Shacka said. “They’re simply a reflection of the people who show up every day to serve customers and communities. When we stay focused on moving people forward, the results will follow.”In 2026, the company expects to continue operating across its moving, storage, packing, and long-distance services while maintaining its technology and franchise support programs.
