About Your St. Louis Movers

In 1994 we started TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® St. Louis in a Kirkwood basement with one truck and a yellow pages ad. What started as a small business quickly began to grow, and in 1995 we moved the office to Brentwood on Manchester. In 1999 we opened our first satellite office in St. Charles followed by another in Arnold. Growth continued but our parking spaces were full in Brentwood, so in 2004 we consolidated all our offices into one large facility in Sunset Hills which allows us to serve the entire area quickly and conveniently.

The mission of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® in St. Louis is to continuously strive to exceed our customers' expectations in value and high standard of satisfaction. And we are doing it again and again as customers continue to recommend our moving company to friends and family for their home and business moving needs.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® desires to be a role model in the industry, and this purpose is reflected in everything we do. We believe in treating customer possessions with care and respect, and as a result, we’ve established a set of core values that we live by:

• Integrity - To always conduct oneself with fairness and honesty
• THE GRANDMA RULE® - To treat everyone as you would want your Grandma to be treated
• Give back to the community – The importance of giving back to our local communities
• Care - To have compassion for family, customers, co-workers and community
• Be your best and have fun - To be the best personally and professionally while enjoying life and having fun
• Inclusion - To welcome people from all backgrounds in the workplace and the community

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® St. Louis is the largest local moving company in St. Louis currently operating more than 30 trucks and performing more than 8,000 paid and charity moves a year in the St. Louis area.

Living its core values as "Movers Who Care" has given TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® St. Louis the opportunity to grow beyond expectations while giving back to the community. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® St. Louis was the 2011 recipient of the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®  Humanitarian Award in recognition of the franchise's commitment to community service.

Corporate History

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® started in the early 1980s as a way for two brothers to make extra money while in high school. Nearly 30 years later, the company has grown to more than 200 locations worldwide.

Brothers Jon and Brig Sorber started moving people using an old pickup truck while their mom, Mary Ellen Sheets, developed a logo to advertise in a weekly newspaper. This same stick-men logo is used today on every truck, sign and advertisement.

When the brothers left for college, Sheets continued to field calls for moving services while working another full-time job. She finally made things official in 1985 by purchasing a 14-foot truck for $350 and hiring a couple of movers. That $350 is the only capital Sheets has ever invested in the company.

Eventually, Sheets decided to franchise the company, and in 1989, she awarded the first location outside of Michigan to her daughter, Melanie Bergeron, in Atlanta, Ga.

Brig and Jon Sorber returned to team up with their mom and older sister in the mid-1990s. Brig Sorber now serves as the chief executive officer, and Jon Sorber is executive vice president.

In August 2012, former Chief Operating Officer Randy Shacka was promoted to president of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®. Randy joined the team in 2001 as an intern and has since held several roles, including Franchise Development Specialist, Director of Operations, Chief Development Officer (CDO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO). This marks the first time in the history of the company the title of President has been held by a person outside of the Sorber family.

Today, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is the nation's largest franchised local moving company, and it boasts a fleet of more than 1,400 trucks. The company has come a long way – and logged a lot of miles – since Sheets sketched the first "stick-men." The TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® system continues to pave the way for future growth and innovation in home and business moving, while maintaining a commitment to exceeding customers' expectations.
