At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we’re dedicated to making your moving experience stress-free and successful. To ensure the safety of both our customers and movers, we must follow certain rules and regulations that restrict the transportation of certain items.
In order to avoid conflict and confusion on moving day, we recommend you speak with your local franchise beforehand to ensure you have time to make arrangements to move the items we’re not able to.
Our movers are unable to transport the following:
Flammable, explosive, or corrosive items
Federal law prohibits the transportation of propane, paint, car batteries, antifreeze, household cleaners, weed killer, and ammunition. These items will not be moved under any circumstances.
Gasoline-filled engines or machines
Prior to move in day, make sure to empty any items that run on gasoline. Items such as lawn mowers, grills, tractors, and mopeds must be completely empty in order for our movers to transport them.
Plants and animals
In order to guarantee the safety and well-being of your plants and pets, we do not transport any living thing, including potted plants and fish.
Perishable food
Fresh, refrigerated, and frozen foods are banned from our trucks to prevent rotting and spoiled, unpleasant odors. Plan out your meals the week before the move so you don’t have a fridge full of food on moving day. Or, plan to box and transport in your personal vehicle.
Sensitive or sentimental belongings
We care about your things and take care of them as if they were our own. To ensure your prized possessions and important items are not misplaced during the process, we do not move items such as cash, jewelry, insurance papers, or birth certificates.
Prescription drugs or medications
In order to prevent any emergencies where you may need access to your medications, we do not move prescription drugs.
Reminder: Each franchise has their own policy regarding non-allowable items. For a complete list of items we are not able to move, please contact your local TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® office.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is the first and largest franchised moving company in the United States. Let us help move you forward! For more helpful tips and information on moving services subscribe to our blog and like us on Facebook.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® 
I purchased a piano for my grandson and had to keep it at my house until they moved to a larger house. We are now?ready to move it about 5 miles down from my house.
I live in Mount Holly and they do also.
The piano is a small up right and I do now all pianos are very heavy. That is why I am contacting y’all.
My email address is hammerkathy@att.net.
I look forwarding to hearing from you
