TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® 2025 Annual Conference Recap

This March, franchisees, vendors and corporate team members gathered in Fort Worth, Texas, for the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® and TWO MEN AND A JUNK TRUCK® Annual Conference. More than 300 attendees took part in an energizing event designed to foster connections, share insights and celebrate another year of success.

"Each year, our Annual Conference serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and dedication within our TWO MEN AND A TRUCK family,” said Brand President Randy Shacka. “Bringing together franchisees, vendors and our corporate team in one place allows us to collaborate, learn and celebrate the incredible work happening across our system.”

Annual Conference continues to serve as a platform for franchisees to learn about new innovations and strengthen relationships with peers, the Michigan Support Center team and vendor partners.
