With more than a decade of human resources experience, both in private and public companies, Gainor is bringing her people-first approach to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/twomenandatruck/info">TWO MEN AND A TRUCK</a>.“Lindsay’s focus on people and passion for an inclusive, caring company culture makes her a natural fit for the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK team,” said President&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/randyshacka/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lindsay-gainor-named-vp-of-hr-and-talent-management-for-two-men-and-a-truck-2726701" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Randy Shacka</a>. “We all look forward to seeing how she contributes to employee support and development efforts as we work toward the brand's core purpose of Moving People Forward®.”Gainor previously worked with Acrisure as Senior Director of Talent Management, and she served as a People Operations Consultant for approximately 40 corporately owned McDonald’s restaurants for four years.&nbsp;“My first interaction with the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK brand was as a customer. I’m former military, and when we first moved back to Michigan, my grandpa gifted us a move from TWO MEN AND A TRUCK. That was my first interaction with the brand, but later, I learned of this role,” Gainor said. “I didn’t realize how big the system was. Through the interview process, I got to know the company a lot better. I loved that it was started as a family-owned business and that it is largely franchised. Having worked with franchised brands before, I’m familiar with that model and I have a soft spot for small business owners. Franchisees are really the heartbeat of America. Knowing those two things only increased my interest in this role.”As she moved through the interview process, Gainor said that meeting the people, experiencing the company's culture in person and seeing how the brand operated on a day-to-day basis affirmed her choice. Now, in her new role, Gainor is providing additional support to the larger system.In the Michigan Support Center, she will work closely with other members of ServiceMaster® Brands’ human resources teams to create and support employee development initiatives and engagement programs for corporate employees and local team members with the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK® and Merry Maids® brands.“The strategic people leadership side of things is focused primarily on being supportive of Randy and the future of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK,” Gainor said. “We also cross-collaborate with a team of people who are more franchise-facing. We think about things like what we’re doing on a broader level, whether it’s helpful to franchisees and what we can do to bring more value to people. The people landscape in business is ever-changing, so it’s important that we stay in close contact with teams who have boots on the ground.”As she works with the leadership team on the larger vision of the company, Gainor said she will also play a key role in the talent management process, bringing strategies to life around development, learning, performance, management, engagement, diversity, equity and inclusion.Looking toward her future with the brand, Gainor said she will embrace two key ideals that have served her well thus far. The first, from her time as a Girl Scout — “Leave it better than you found it” — reminds her to always consider the ways in which she can improve the spaces she works in, people she interacts with and programs she touches.&nbsp;To back this up, a sort of “say yes and figure out how later” mentality empowers Gainor to keep an open mind and remain receptive to any possible improvements. While she will maintain a level of discernment in her decision-making, Gainor recognizes how valuable exploration and collaboration can be to development, especially in a forward-thinking organization like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK.“I’m really looking forward to meeting and working with individual franchise owners to learn more about their daily lives. One of the best mentors I’ve ever had said, ‘Always be a student of the business,’ and that’s what I plan to do here,” she said. “The better I understand the business, the better I can help support it. With feedback from people at all levels of the organization, I can get a complete picture in my mind of how the business works, and I can do my part to support the countless small business owners with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK across the country.”For more information on moving with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, franchising or to find an open position with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, please visit<a href="https://twomenandatruck.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lindsay-gainor-named-vp-of-hr-and-talent-management-for-two-men-and-a-truck-2726701" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;TWO MEN AND A TRUCK | The Movers Who Care.</a>

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. It is also looking to expand with franchise partners in New York, Texas, and California.
