I hired Two Men and a Truck
I hired Two Men and a Truck – Northwest Arkansas (Bentonville) for what should have been a straightforward one-day move. Before booking, I asked if it could be done in one day and provided photos of all boxed items before paying. I was told it had to be scheduled as a two-day move due to “DOT and labor law restrictions.” Relying on that explanation, my family paid for hotel rooms, overnight pet care, and an overnight fee, all of which proved unnecessary. The move itself took about nine total hours (1.5 to load, 3 to drive, 1.5 to unload, 3 to return)—well within federal DOT’s 14-hour on-duty and 11-hour driving limits, meaning there was no legal reason to require two days. Because the company insisted on starting Sunday, I was also charged a $300 “Sunday move” fee that would not have applied if the job had been done Monday in one day. Management later confirmed this was company policy, not a DOT rule. After the move, I contacted the office by email to request clarification. Over the next week, I received inconsistent, incomplete, and changing explanations. • Zach, the representative, stated he was in business school and gave contradictory answers. When I pressed for clarity, he threatened to issue a higher invoice total even though I had already paid in full. • Jared, the general manager, made only a minimal effort to help and provided vague responses that never addressed the core issue. In total, I paid around $700 more than necessary due to how the job was scheduled and handled. The movers themselves were punctual, efficient, and careful, but management’s handling of the situation was misleading and unprofessional. Customers deserve clear, honest communication and transparency—not misleading legal claims, hidden fees, or threats after payment. I hope this encourages stronger oversight and accountability at this location.
