With each passing day, more and more news comes forward about COVID-19 and just like everyone else, we’re navigating through it using the proper precautions and safety measures to keep our teams and customers safe.
According to guidelines released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the moving industry falls under their category of “essential business”, which means most of our more than 350 locations are still able to operate based on local and state requirements. With each franchise being independently owned and operated – and with certain areas of the country being hit harder than others – the decision to continue operations and serve customers is a case-by-case basis, and it’s up to the discretion of the location owner.
While there are differing definitions of “essential” held by the public, we are doing our best to ensure we are safely taking care of people and businesses who must move. Even during this health crisis, there are urgent moving needs, including people who need to move into a safe and healthy living environment, and businesses requiring essential items be transported.
Additionally, the health, safety, and peace-of-mind of our frontline team members including movers and drivers, is a priority. Letting the movers decide if they feel safe performing moves, arming move teams with hand sanitizer and disinfectant tactics, in addition to providing education on social distancing are all critical during this time.
For some of our locations who have chosen to halt moving services temporarily, they are still taking calls and booking moves to be completed at a safer time.
Take a look at these FAQs we’ve received since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak.
How is TWO MEN AND A TRUCK working to operate safely to stop the spread of COVID-19?
All franchises still in operation at this time are following guidelines that have been put in place by the federal and local governments, as well as the CDC. All locations are taking extra measures and precautions to adhere to the highest safety standards, including the regular sanitation of trucks and equipment, having movers and drivers use hand sanitizer throughout the move, and maintaining a strict social distancing with our team members and customers.
If I have a move, is it still happening?
If you have any questions or concerns about your upcoming move, please contact the location you’ve booked your move with to confirm whether your move is still on schedule. In most cases, if your move has been cancelled or needs to be postponed, a member of the team will reach out and discuss those options.
Can I cancel my move due to COVID-19 concerns?
You will need to reach out directly to the location you booked your move with to talk through canceling or rescheduling it to a later date.

Hello. I am living in a small duplex in Buda, TX. 78610 and I must be out of the unit and have the place clean by April 30. My possessions will be delivered to 7412 Tovar Drive, Austin Texas 78729
My question: Since CDC has now demonstrated that Covid 19 spreads through the air, as well as by droplets within 6 feet, will your movers be wearing a mask throughout the move?
Hi, Marsha. With many “shelter in place” orders being issued, certain TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise locations are still operating to the extent they are able and conducting moves in some capacity. We would encourage you to use our franchise locator (link below) to find the franchise location closest to you and reach out to them directly to see if they can assist with your move. We hope this helps. https://twomenandatruck.com/movers/search
