Two Men And A Truck
1
My horror story is about the Huntsville, Alabama franchise of 2 Men and a truck. My wife called them to unload a rental truck for us. There was one HUGE piece of furniture in the truck that we just couldnt handle ourselves. We told them when we called that it was 91"x93" and 2 ft thick and weight about one thousand pounds. They told us that they could handle it..."no problem". They said that would send "Charles" over to check it before they sent the crew. "Tasha" said he would be there around 10:30. We waited until 11:15 to call and check and was told that they had no idea who we spoke with but nobody was coming out to check but the move was scheduled for between 12:30 and 2:30. Again, we told them to send a large crew because one of the pieces was HUGE and HEAVY. "Tasha" informed my wife that she has already told them and they would be ready. So we waited...and waited until around 2:00. The truck arrives and three young guys popped out. There was not a really strong one in the group. They took one look in the truck and said that they could not handle the job. They call "Nick" to ask for help. They told him about the problem and then handed the phone to me. "Nick" informed me that I had two options. The first was to wait for a second crew to show up and I would pay for the first to sit there with me at $130 per/ hour until the second crew showed up and then the rate would double! I told him that we had informed them of the size and weight of the item at 7:30 that morning and I was told that there was no record of that and that he was "not wanting to debate it with me". My other option was just to call it a day and take a refund on the first crew. I decided on a slight modification of the second option. I demanded a refund and would report them to the BBB. I was paying daily rental of the truck so in addition to the time wasted hew as also wasting my money. I called another company that had returned my call earlier but I had told that I already had a contract with 2 Men and a Truck. He was there with a real moving crew in 45-minutes and did a very good job of taking care of the mess that "Nick" left me with. I would not recommend 2 Men and a Truck to move my garbage to the street.
