Building Winning Teams at Two Men And A Truck

MARCH 16, 2008 -- While the moving industry reported double-digit negative growth in 2007, the winning team at Two Men And A Truck finished in the plus column. Building Winning Teams was the theme of the 2008 annual meeting of Two Men And A Truck International, the 16th yearly get-together for a franchise with 20-plus years of growth. Of particularly interest at this year’s meeting was Ed Katz’ presentation “Why Become an Office Mover?” Katz, head of the International Office Moving Institute, was also a featured speaker at the company’s 2007 annual meeting. Last year, Two Men And A Truck International gained recognition at the 171st spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s list of Top 500, was named as one of America’s top global franchises, listed on Franchise Business Review’s “Franchise 50”, and selected as one of the top 25 franchises for Hispanics by National Minority Franchising Initiative. In the U.S., more than 1,300 trucks roll out of 173 franchises and 21 satellites in 31 states. Internationally, Two Men And A Truck has five locations in Canada, one in Ireland, and one in South Africa.    A corporate core value of giving back to the community resulted last year in a donation to the American Cancer Society of $35,792, or 10 cents for every move performed in the system. This year’s annual meeting was held at the Birmingham Sheraton in downtown Birmingham, AL.
