Leaving from Detroit area to Collier mid June. I will be calling Two Men & A Truck tomorrow. I like they do not share the truck and the same two men drive. Seems less chances for error that way. Did they give you a guaranteed delivery date? Thanks for sharing this.

Could you recommend movers to move from one village to another.

I'm also interested in their cost and how the moved worked out for you. I will be moving from Adrian, Michigan to the Village of Charlotte. After this past winter, I am trying to get my Mom to move to Florida sooner than planned. So far, it hasn't worked!

I used Two Men and a Truck when I moved locally in Virginia. They did a great job!

I called Two Men & A Truck a few weeks ago moving from Warren, Mi. The price given was 8-10 thousand dollars for moving 6,000 lbs. We are only bringing one bedroom set so that's really expensive.

I ended up going with Mayflower for a little over $4,000 and they will be coming June 24th. If you don't read any horror stories from me that will mean everything went well.

Full truck from MI to TV was $8000. The truck made it to the house before we finished the closing and everything made it without anything broken or dinged up. Could have done for less $'s but not with the peace of mind using 2 men and they did the move without adding any more stress than you get with a long distance move.

Yikes, that is pricey! I moved from northern Virginia back home to Michigan nine years ago and it was around $3,000 -- not a whole house but a lot of stuff! I used Hunter then.

I'm probably only going to move a bedroom suite, curio cabinet, Mom's lift chair and a TV cabinet. I've been thinking of hiring someone to load a u-Haul, pay a friend to drive it down and hire someone to unload it. I'm thinking of asking my aunt's brother to drive it as he drives their trailer to the TV area every year. He is very handy and I could pick his brain on a few projects.
