TWO MEN AND A TRUCK

Chad Covell and Kiernan Flynn are ushering North America’s No. 1 moving franchise, <a href="https://franchise.twomenandatruck.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=two-men-and-a-truck-opens-its-first-location-in-vermont-enters-its-45th-state-2715325" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TWO MEN AND A TRUCK</a>, into its 45th state on the map: Vermont. The business partners are setting up shop in Burlington early this year.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/twomenandatruck">TWO MEN AND A TRUCK</a> already has more than 380 locations and 3,000 trucks operating throughout 44 states as well as Canada, Ireland and the U.K. And since 1985, the leading moving franchise has been pushing ahead in its mission to move people forward, already performing more 7.5 million moves since its inception.For Flynn, establishing roots in the moving industry was a decision that came naturally.&nbsp;Growing up as a nomad of sorts, Flynn moved from country to country every two years because of his father’s position as a foreign services officer. And now, as someone who knows just how stressful the moving process can be, he’s using his business to help members of his community feel more comfortable and at ease when they’re moving into a new home.&nbsp;“The moving industry is something I grew up with, and my siblings and I all understood that moving can be a very stressful part of people’s lives. That’s what influenced me to go into the moving industry with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK — to make that moving process less stressful and help streamline people’s experiences,” said Flynn.&nbsp;TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s culture and support at the corporate level encouraged Flynn to sign on with the brand and bring it to his hometown of Burlington.&nbsp;“The openness and the conversations that I had with the corporate team and other franchise owners made it an easy decision to pursue franchise ownership with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK,” he said.And after chatting with other franchise owners, Flynn felt reassured in his commitment to TWO MEN AND A TRUCK in an uncertain economic climate.“I connected with franchise owners who opened their territories right before the economic crash to see how they weathered the storm, knowing that we are in a similar situation today. It was very telling of the brand to learn that they stuck with those owners through the tough times.”As for Covell, who just last year opened a location in Grand Junction, Colorado, and a friend of Flynn’s, developing a territory in Vermont was an opportunity to reinvest in and grow with a brand he’d already seen success with.&nbsp;Having owned a few businesses prior to franchising with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, Covell was familiar with how to keep operations running smoothly but wanted to pursue an opportunity that didn’t require him to start from scratch.&nbsp;“I wasn’t ready to start from scratch and the support TWO MEN AND A TRUCK offered was really appealing. From human resources to marketing, it was nice because I didn’t have to reinvent the wheel.”As the brand continues to grow its network of movers who care, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/randyshacka?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=two-men-and-a-truck-opens-its-first-location-in-vermont-enters-its-45th-state-2715325" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">President Randy Shacka</a> says he’s excited for the brand to take its first steps into Vermont. He’s particularly enthusiastic about the partnership between Flynn and Covell — a new franchisee and an existing one — and believes that the duo make the perfect pair to grow the brand in a new territory.&nbsp;"We want our employees to grow within our system to establish careers that they love while also helping our franchisees achieve success as they continue to reinvest in our franchise opportunity,” said Shacka. “We know that Chad and Kiernan will do a fantastic job representing our brand and providing top-notch customer service across Vermont."

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.
