Evansville, Ind.

The Evansville franchise of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® received a thank you letter from the Evansville District Council Society of St. Vincent de Paul for their donation to the third annual Friends of the Poor Walk.

Dear Dave, Desiree and Friends at Two Men and a Truck:

Thank you so much for your wonderfully generous donation of $250.00 to our Third Annual "Friends of the Poor" Walk which we are holding October 2, 2010. That donation is a tremendous help in putting on our walk- and that walk is extremely helpful in the overall operation of the St. Vincent Food Pantry, Thrift Store and in the work of our 26 parish-based conferences.

Right now the demand at our food pantry remains at its highest ever, as we continue to serve over 1,200 families each month. Our thrift store continues to serve the need of people in inner-city Evansville with basic clothing, furniture and appliances at our highest level ever. With the current economic climate, our 26 conferences continue to receive large numbers of calls from those who face utility shut-offs, evictions and who are unable to obtain basic medications.

There are a large number of Evansville parish members volunteering to be a part of the St. Vincent effort. This keeps our overhead low, and your donation makes it possible for these volunteers to bring a good deal of tangible help to those who really need it.

Thank you again for your generous help!

Daniel Miller
President

Athens, Ga.

The Athens franchise of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® received a great review for their hard work during a move.

Two Men and a Truck were great. The "2 Men" were very friendly and professional. They took extremely good care of our furniture as it was raining-wrapping in blankets and plastic. Plus, they put in door guards.

They put the furniture right where it needed to be and put it together. They even offered some advice when I asked how best to arrange a difficult room.

I hate moving, but knowing I can call Two Men and a Truck makes it great.

Scottsdale, Ariz.

The Scottsdale franchise of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® received a thank you letter from Chrysalis, an organization servicing the needs of children, women and men who are trying to break the cycle of violence and abuse, for their donation of services.

To Whom It May Concern,

Thank you for recently donating your transportation services to transport items donated by Maricopa County Bar Association Young Lawyer's Division. Simply put, if it wasn't for supporters like you, we wouldn't exist!

During this time of the year, many reflect on the blessings in their lives, and the importance of family. Chrysalis is exceptionally grateful this year that our new shelter is opening soon, and for the first time our families will celebrate the season in the new facility. Unfortunately for these families, many have fled from violent and potentially lethal relationships. Not only are they facing the unknown, they are facing the challenge of embracing the season regardless of their circumstances, especially for their children. These children, although they have witnessed or been abused themselves, are like any other child who views the holiday season with wonderment and delight!

Martin Luther said that if you want to change the world you should pick up your pen. Thank you for helping change the world this holiday season for those in our very own backyards who are victims of domestic abuse.

With gratitude, I join the board of directors, staff, volunteers and most importantly the victims we serve in thanking you for your commitment to Chrysalis and for helping break the cycle of abuse!

Sincerely,

Patricia Klahr
President/CEO

Sacramento, Calif.

The Sacramento franchise of  TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® recieved a thank you letter for the easy and stress-free move they provided a few weeks ago.

To Whom It May Concern:

The couple of weeks since my move have been busy with work and travel, so I apologize for not writing this sooner. I did, however, fill out the survey you sent about a week ago, and I gave your company the highest ratings in every category. I moved from Midtown Sacramento to Campus Commons on Friday, October 29.

From my first phone conversation through the completion of my move, I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism of your staff and the moving crew. I spoke with Sarah and Heather to set things up, and they were both very polite and thorough with their follow-through on the front end of things.

The day of the move was a bit crazy for me. As it turned out, I had to ask a friend to supervise the first half of the move because of work obligations. I was about to get in my car that morning to head to work when the moving crew of Ryan, Kyle, and Juan showed up, so I went over to say a quick "hello" before heading to work. The first words out of Ryan's mouth were an introduction of himself, Kyle, and Juan and then he said, "Don't worry about a thing today. We are professionals, and we will take great care of your things." Those words put me immediately at ease.

My friend told me that the guys were great during that first part of the move. When I met them at my new place in the afternoon for the second part of the move, I quickly agreed that they were a great crew. Ryan, Kyle, and Juan took amazing care with my things--from boxes to furniture--and they were polite and friendly all the while. They wanted to make sure that everything was put in the proper room and took care in putting together things like beds and tables.

I have moved more than a handful of times over the years, and moving day is usually one that can be pretty stressful. The friendly, courteous, and professional approach that Ryan, Kyle, and Juan had all day long (and it was a long day!) genuinely put me at ease.

I will highly recommend Two Men and a Truck to anyone I know who is moving, and I will absolutely call your company again if a local move is in my future.

Thank you all for your part in making my moving day an easy one!

Sincerely,
Brianna Latko

Jacksonville, Fla.

The Jacksonville franchise of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® received a great review that mentioned how professional and careful they were during a recent move.

These guys are the real deal! Two Men and a Truck are AWESOME! They arrived on time and when Kendall and Mike stepped out of the truck and introduced themselves, they went straight to work, and fast. They were very careful with all of our belongings, including our two dogs (they snuck out with the door open and Mike and Kendall brought them back in). Two Men and a Truck went above and beyond my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys, you're the best!

Athens, Ga.

The Athens franchise of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® received a customer review complimenting them on their hard work and efficiency during a move.

After three moves in 18 months all by Two Men and a Truck, we felt like family moved us. Each time the men were courteous and cooperative and worked very hard. By the third time they knew in which room all our furniture belonged. They worked quickly and efficiently and we are very grateful. They made our work much easier. Thank you Two Men and a Truck!

Pinellas, Fla.

The Pinellas franchise of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® received an excellent review from a customer who thought they were courteous and professional during a move.

Greetings! Dave Dragon here; just dropping a line to comment on the excellent service we received from Two Men and a Truck, and specifically Kevin and Daniel. Both of these gentlemen were courteous and contentious in their demeanor and work. They arrived on-site early in the projected window and jumped right in to loading the truck with our daughter's possessions, taking care to handle them without causing damage to the objects or to themselves while in the process. They knocked out the load and unload faster than their initial estimate, even with dealing with the stairs of the move-to location. Also, I'd like to comment on Jenny who scheduled the move for me, with less than a weeks notice. She was very courteous and helpful with a positive, professional and friendly telephone presence that made the calls a joy. These three people made the entire experience a more positive and productive endeavor, and that's the definition of Excellent Customer Service!

DuPage/Will/Kendall, Ill.

The DuPage/Will/Kendall franchise of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® recently received an excellent review for their hard work and fast-paced work ethic during a move.

"We've now used the service on 3 different occasions recently. In all 3 cases, and with 3 different crews, the service has been excellent. The office staff and movers have been really easy to work with and I am amazed at the speed and intensity of the movers - they push very hard and given that 2 of the moves involved were load/unload, which are charged by the hour, it was surprising how quickly the guys worked. Its great to see this kind of effort and service.

One other thing to mention is that we were initially buying boxes locally and then became aware that you sold them. The cost was lower, the quality of the box was equal or better than what we had been purchasing, and you delivered them free of charge - another excellent option.

We have our big interstate move schedule for later today and feel very confident this will go well given our experience to date. We will definitely be looking to TWO MEN AND A TRUCK to help us with all our moving needs going forward."
