College Hunks vs Two Men and a Truck: Which Moving Franchise?

The core difference is simple: Two Men and a Truck® is a moving-focused franchise, while a College Hunks Hauling Junk® franchise runs two concepts, junk removal and College Hunks Moving®, under one franchise fee and one technology stack. Buyers who want one long-established moving brand will find Two Men and a Truck a mature option. College Hunks is built for the buyer who wants two revenue streams that feed each other, with a national call center booking the jobs. Here is the honest, side-by-side breakdown for a buyer deciding between them.

What is the core difference between College Hunks and Two Men and a Truck?

College Hunks Hauling Junk® is a two-in-one home-services franchise, and Two Men and a Truck® is a moving-focused one. That single structural difference shapes almost everything else about the two opportunities. A moving-only brand earns when people relocate. A junk-and-moving brand earns when people move up and expand, and again when they downsize and clear out, so the demand works in both directions of the economy.

For a corporate career-changer leaving a stable job to own a business, that difference matters. With two revenue lines under one fee, the same marketing dollars work across two kinds of jobs instead of waiting on moving season.

How do the two business models compare?

Both are owner-operator franchises with established national brands, and both recruit leaders rather than laborers. They differ most on services, revenue mix, and the demand infrastructure the franchisor provides. This table compares them on the dimensions a buyer actually weighs.

Where a competitor’s exact figures are not public, the fair thing is to point you to their Franchise Disclosure Document rather than estimate. For the full College Hunks numbers, see the full investment breakdown.

Which model earns more of the year?

A two-in-one model is designed to smooth the calendar. Moving demand concentrates in the warmer months and around leases, while junk removal runs steadier through the year as people renovate, downsize, and clear estates. Carrying both under one roof means a College Hunks Hauling Junk® owner can keep trucks and crews productive in the shoulder seasons when a moving-only operator slows down. Across the College Hunks system, the 144 franchised locations that reported for 2025 posted an average gross revenue of $1,554,610. That figure is gross revenue, not profit, and results vary widely by tenure and market. See the Item 19 revenue picture for the detail behind it.

What do you actually get for the franchise fee?

This is where the two-in-one model does its clearest work. One College Hunks Hauling Junk® franchise fee opens both the junk and the moving concepts, plus a National Sales & Loyalty Center that answers calls and books jobs so owners can run the business instead of the phones, and two coaches guiding marketing and operations. See how the franchise model works and what makes College HUNKS different. A moving-focused franchise gives you a proven single-service brand and system, which is exactly right for a buyer who wants to master one service line.

Do you need moving experience to own one?

No. Neither brand expects you to have driven a truck for a living. A College Hunks Hauling Junk® franchise is built for A-players coming out of corporate America or the military who can lead a team and run a business, with the franchisor supplying the playbook along with the booking engine and coaching. For a corporate career-changer that support structure often matters more than the service itself. It is what turns a first-time owner into a confident operator inside the first year.

Which moving franchise fits your goals?

Buyers who want to master a single service line have a sound path in an established moving-only franchise. College Hunks Hauling Junk® makes its case to the owner who wants more than one lane: two revenue streams sharing one team and one fee, national booking support filling the schedule, and heavy national media behind the brand. Neither choice is wrong. The right one is whichever model matches how you want to spend your time and your capital.
