Boxes are Boxes right? Wrong!

Moving Boxes


When it comes time to shop around for boxes it seems many put little effort into shopping around. I once used to think a box is a box. That's of coarse before I discovered Two Men And A Truck boxes...Lets dive into the perks of these amazing boxes!
We offer a wide selection of competitively priced moving boxes. Our small boxes are 1.5 cubic ft. These are our smallest boxes and are often referred to as the book or record box. The best way to utilize this box would be placing heavy items such as books, records, cans, jars of food, utensils, flatware, heavy kitchen appliances etc. Our medium boxes are 3 cubic ft. These are often referred to as lamp or lamp shade boxes. We suggest placing items that are not so heavy in these boxes such as lamps, lamp shades, bakeware, pots, pans, etc. Our large boxes are 4.5 cubic ft. As the box gets larger in size keep in mind to place lighter objects such as pillows, bedding, stuffed animals, etc. If heavy items are placed in large boxes it does make it difficult to move. We also offer wardrobe boxes. These boxes allow clothing to be transported on hangers.  This box comes with a metal rod along the top of the box and are very time effective with packing. We also utilize the bottoms of these boxes for shoes, blankets, or any miscellaneous closet items. (we also rent these boxes) Dish packs, also called barrel or dish barrels. This is our strongest box available. We suggest packing fragile items such as china or dish sets. These boxes are mostly used for kitchen items. These boxes come with dish pack inserts. These are cardboard cells (dividers) that go inside dish pack boxes to form individual cells for fragile items. Inserts are customizable to accommodate any size or shape. Our cell packs also contain extra cardboard pieces to be used as spring board cushion.

Some of the packing supplies we offer include packing tape, packing paper, bubble wrap, and mattress bags.
  • Packing Tape we offer is specially designed to withhold heavy boxes with ease!
  • Packing paper used to wrap everyday items to prevent scratching while items are boxed. Also when crunched up can be used as cushion for any items that may be oddly shaped or inbalanced.
  • Bubble wrap is used to add extra cushion to protect items being placed in boxes.
  • We also offer mattress bags! Mattress bags are great for protecting your mattress during the move. (no one likes a stained mattress)
We also offer local box delivery with a minimum of $50 box and packing supply order. We are well aware that box estimating can be tricky so we buy our boxes back! We offer a full refund of any unused boxes. We also have a box calculator available upon request to estimate the amount of boxes that may be needed. Give us a call today if you are in need of any boxes or packing supplies!

Giving Back

Giving back to the Community is what we are all about!
We at Two Men And A Truck love to give back to the community in which we are based. We believe that by first building a solid foundation, we ultimately will be able to do great things within our community. Strengthening our community by partnerships is what we believe. Giving back to the community has been a part of our company long before it was a core value for us. Our founder Mary Ellen Sheets' first year in business, she donated her profit to 10 different charities. It is this giving spirit that gives us the title the Movers Who Care. We instill in all of our employees the importance of giving back and withholding that title of being the Movers Who Care. We had the honor of partnering with Churches United this past week for the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train. We had the honor of collecting donations by offering our services to this great event. We enjoyed cookies and hot cocoa while collecting donations. What a way to get treated and welcomed! We had a great time getting involved and seeing our employees reactions first hand in the spirit of giving. We filled our truck with donations that would be dispersed to 25 of our local shelters. The results made our hearts smile. We look forward to many more partnerships in the future with Churches United. The organization was such a pleasure to work with....so welcoming and warm. Stay tuned for upcoming events and how you can help. Happy Holidays from our Two Men And A Truck family to yours!

Canadian Pacific Holiday Train

Canadian Pacific Holiday Train
Join us this Saturday December 3rd in Downtown Davenport (Freighthouse) at 12:30 p.m. We will be attending as well as volunteering our services for the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train. One of the best ways to kick-off the Holiday Season here in the QC! This event consists of seasonal festivities and a free concert. Canadian Pacific has turned a boxcar into a traveling stage-and trust me its something beautiful to see! The purpose is to raise money, food, and awareness for local food banks. This event was founded in 1999. They have covered over 100,000 miles, have raised close to $12 million, and collected 3.9 million pounds of food since the start of this program in 1999. We are so greatful to have the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing cause! We encourage all attendees to bring non-perishable food items or even cash donations to support our community. Every pound of food and dollar raised at each stop stays with the local community to help those in need. How awesome is that? Come join us, Churches United, and Canadian Pacific, in our efforts to make a difference one stop at a time! We hope to see you there!
