In their own words
I hired these guys to move my personal belongings into my new home. The driver struggled with my articles started complaining about being tried. Stated in December he's going to quit. The other young man was very helpful and professional. I constantly asked them to be careful with my large mirror because it is extremely heavy and expensive. The other young man was professional and careful the driver dropped the mirror and I heard it Crack. I said did you break the mirror? He just stood there looking stupid.
Hello Eloise, We sincerely apologize to learn of this and can assure you this is not the norm at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK. We would be happy to speak with you further and encourage you to reach us directly at [phone removed].
They were over 2 hours late. They took forever. I have had my whole house packed in less time then it took them to move my furniture. It ended costing us over $600 more than estimated and we still didn't move everything we needed. Do yourself a favor and call a normal moving company and get an estimate. I could have saved money and had less aggravation.
We were late from a call off. We also financially compensated you for that to make you happy. The home was not packed so we told you we could do just the big items. Our lead sent us a video of a room they were working in and we agreed.
**Warning Before Hiring This Company for Appliance Moving** I would strongly suggest that anyone considering this company for appliance moving make sure they ask for qualified and knowledgeable employees who understand how to disassemble and reassemble appliances. About three months ago, we hired them to move a refrigerator, stove, and microwave, which took nearly eight hours. Additionally, they were responsible for removing the old appliances from the second house.
mrs. Guzman, three weeks ago your husband left us a one star review over the same incident that happened three months ago. In addition to moving items for you, you had us swap refrigerators.
BAIT AND SWITCH!!! The local office in Valparaiso told me AFTER the move that their low end estimate ONLY INCLUDES THE ESTIMATED DRIVE TIME. and they know this, but chose not to tell potential customers. The local manager, Tom, told me that "no one in any industry ever takes the low estimate as being "real". the final cost was $470 OVER THE HIGH END COST. The 2 men who did the actual work, Lenny and Mike, were fantastic, if they worked for anyone else I would recommend them very highly.
Mike Shane has to be one of the most egocentric people there is in this business. He feels no compassion for the customer & doesn't care if the customer if held hostage on time or if he cancel a scheduled move. His lack of even wanting to discuss a particular topic is childish at best. I would NEVER recommend anyone to use this particular franchise. They will leave you guessing if your movers actually will be on time, if they will move your possessions or how safely.
Dawn, we did not perform a move for you. We showed up to load your rental truck. Unbeknownst to us you decided to put a car hitch on the back of it and expected our guys to move around a trailer because they’re loading up your furniture. We told you we could do one of two things.
I am very disappointed with Two Men and a Truck's customer service. My husband and I paid good money for what we thought were professional movers. However, when we contacted the Valpo branch with damage concerns, we were told that it was our responsibility to make sure the movers were packing items correctly and they were not liable for damages. 1. I was busy cleaning out our house and was never once outside watching them pack. 2.
I’m sorry you were unhappy with our services. We would much rather have the customers items in our care and control the entire time during the move but in this instance we were not allowed to. This is why we strongly suggest staying away from load only type moves.
The company is very disorganized and not great at customer service. They also nickel and dime you for everything and only pay their movers a fraction of the cost. My move got rescheduled without notifying me and the movers showed up 4.5 hours late... The company had failed to put down the correct address, which I confirmed with them 3 times and they had workers call off that day (probably due to low pay incentive) They also didn't properly account for stairs in both apartments.
I am not sure why you are questioning the pay of my employees. They are paid well. You mentioned it 3 times in your review. We had call offs the Saturday we were suppose to move you. In order to still move you we had to juggle the schedule and it effected your move.
If you’re looking for a company that has total disregard for your belongings and charges top dollar, you’re in the right spot. Hired what I thought were professional movers to load a UPack trailer. What I got were kids that were inexperienced.and didn’t care about my belongings arriving intact. I booked the movers a few weeks in advance , explained the situation and was told my move would be two men for a minimum of 4 hours.
We do have steps and proceedures for all load only moves including paperwork with the customer agreeing it has been loaded to their satisfaction. If you would like to discuss further please call us at [phone removed].

In their own words
Wonderful experience trusting Two Men and a Truck - Valparaiso for our move last month. From the very beginning inquiry, we were promptly contacted by Ross who showed up same day to go over our moving plans and provide us with an estimate. The quote was returned that evening with a detailed report of all items. The deposit was easy to put down and we were kept in constant communication via telephone, text, and email letting us know what to expect next in the days leading up to our move.
Kelly, you have given us the highest rating we’ve ever gotten before! 1000 out of 10 is a pretty darn good score! Enjoy your beautiful new home!
Move was great! Got it done under the estimate! The guys were fabulous and very nice! Definitely a great team! Thanks for making moving day go smoothly. Nate, Christian, Jaylan, Spencer, and Dez were spectacular.
fantastic review! thanks Curt! Tell your friends! We love referrals!
I have used this company multiple times (over 4 times so far) since 2021 when my dad passed away. Back in 2021, the office rep was so helpful in helping me when I couldn't think straight after my dad passed. 1st up was cleaning out my dad's huge airplane hangar at SB Airport which required multiple trips. Next up, my dad had a huge office downstairs. He worked as a nuclear engineer contractor & professor at Notre Dame.
thanks for such a nice review! we are sorry for the loss of your father
I had never used Two Men and A Truck before. I had another company I had always dealt with. When I called the other company two weeks before the move they could not accommodate me. The recommended Two Men and a Truck. I may never use the other company again. Two men and a Truck did a great job of estimating my costs, being on time, moving everything without damages, and even went above and beyond my expectations. This was an emotional move for me. My mother has Alzheimer's and the move was to a memory care unit.
Very nice. Glad we could help during a stressful time
