[edit] Corporate History
Two Men and a Truck was founded in the early 1980s by brothers Brig and Jon Sorber in Lansing, Michigan. Using an old pickup truck, they performed moves in their spare time. The brothers asked their mother, Mary Ellen Sheets, to create a logo for the new company. The stick figure logo has remained with the company to this day.
In 1985, the company purchased a 14-foot truck for $350 and hired a pair of movers. The company website reports that this was the only capital investment ever made in the company, the rest of the growth made possible by profits turned from the company.
Today, Two Men and a Truck has nearly 1,200 trucks in its fleet and boasts more than 184 locations in North America. They have offices in 28 states and Toronto, Canada area. They have a 94 percent customer referral rate. They have completed their 2 millionth move in 2005.
