2 Dudes And A Truck
Free, No-Obligation Estimate
Two friends who launched a moving crew back in 2015 and never once looked back. The old Brookside bungalows, the Westport walk-ups, and the freight elevators in the Plaza and Crossroads lofts are second nature to us, and we hand you a flat price in writing with no surprises.

Three Steps to Moving Day
From that opening hello to the last box carried in and set down in its proper room.
Tell Us About the Move
Tell us about the move over the phone, on a quick video call, or straight through the form. What comes back is a flat price in writing, never a squishy figure that swells once the truck is loaded.
Lock In Your Date
Pick your day and we match the right crew and truck to it, then sort the loading-zone permit, the building certificate of insurance, or the freight-elevator booking your move needs.
We Carry the Load
One lead owns the whole job, wrap, load, drive, and placement, with our own Kansas City crew, and we plan the run around I-70, I-35, and the I-435 loop to keep the day on time.

Loft & Walk-Up Ready
Freight-elevator bookings and building certificates of insurance for the Plaza and Crossroads lofts, plus cramped Brookside stairwells and tight Westport walk-ups, we scout the carry and the parking so a loft or third-floor move never stalls at the door.
Padded & Wrapped
Every piece gets blanketed, shrink-wrapped, and firmly strapped down. If something does take a knock, we call it out on the spot and set it right.
Done Right
An honest price, a crew that truly cares about the work, and no one clocks out until every last piece is exactly where you want it.
Honest Pricing
No hidden costs waiting in the wings, and no surprise fuel fee dropped on you at the curb. Here is how the whole thing breaks down.
- 2 movers + a fully stocked truck
- Pads, dollies, and wrap included
- After the first hour, billed by the minute
- Optional flat cap in writing
What shapes your price
- How much is coming and the home size
- Distance across the metro and out to the suburbs
- Stairs, freight elevators, COIs, and parking
- Day of week, season, and the weather
- Packing and specialty pieces (piano, safe)
Family-Run, Not Brokered
The crew that shows up is our own people, not day-labor booked off an app that morning. Every one passes a background check and trains alongside the team before ever touching your furniture.
- Background-checked and on our own payroll
- Used to tight stairwells, freight elevators, and dock check-ins
- Your lead runs the job start to finish, first box to last
Clean, Marked Trucks
Each truck we run wears the 2 Dudes And A Truck name and DOT number right on the door. See an unmarked rental rolling up to your curb instead? That is not us.
- Company trucks with liftgates, kept in service
- Stocked with pads, dollies, straps, and shrink
- Sized for tight city streets and suburban driveways alike
The Story Behind the Name
“Way back in 2015 the two of us launched 2 Dudes And A Truck with one truck and a single plain promise: a fair flat price, our own crew on every job, and your belongings handled as if they were ours. No brokers, no runaround.”
We drill our crews on what actually trips up a Kansas City move: the steep original staircases in the Brookside and Waldo bungalows, the thin street parking around Westport, the certificate of insurance and freight-elevator window at a Plaza or Crossroads loft, and the ice storms and muggy summers that shape a moving day around here. We would much rather keep a customer for the next ten years than cash in on one quick payday.

2 Dudes And A Truck vs. Brokers
Areas We Serve
Everywhere across Kansas City and the wider metro, from the older inner-city neighborhoods out to Lee’s Summit and Overland Park, on both sides of the state line. Don’t see your spot? Just ask.
Questions We Hear a Lot
What will my move cost?
It comes down to two things: how much you are moving and how tough the access is. A truck with two movers starts at $115/hr, and you get a written, line-item estimate before we touch the first box. Want a hard ceiling? Ask us to set a flat cap, and the number you sign becomes the most the bill can reach. For moves that cross state lines, we switch to pricing by weight and distance.
My Brookside bungalow has a tight, steep staircase. Is that a problem?
That is right in our wheelhouse. The old brick houses across Brookside, Waldo, and Hyde Park come with steep original staircases, pinched doorways, and low basement headroom. We read every turn, pad the jambs and railings, and hoist or hand-carry anything that will not round the corner, just as we have done since 2015.
Can you take on a loft or condo move that requires a building COI?
Yes, we do these constantly. Plaza condos and the loft conversions in the Crossroads and River Market want a certificate of insurance on file and the freight elevator held for a fixed window. We send the COI over to building management, lock the elevator, pad the cab and corridors, and wrap up inside your booked slot so the dock frees up on time.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are. 2 Dudes And A Truck holds Missouri and Kansas household-goods authority and full insurance, and your job rides with our own crew from start to finish, with no broker sneaking in to take a cut. We are happy to go over the authority numbers and coverage with you, and we will talk through your valuation options before anything is set.
There is no driveway and the parking is tight. Can you still pull it off?
That is no problem, and we do it on most Westport, Midtown, and older-neighborhood jobs. Give us the address when you book and we line up the truck spot, the loading zone, or the apartment dock, then tailor the carry to whatever room the street leaves us. Our crew rolls up expecting to load right off the curb instead of a driveway.
Do you take a deposit?
Just a small refundable one to hold your date, and it lands on your final total as a credit, so none of it is ever lost. Give us a couple of days’ notice to cancel and every cent comes back to you. It is all spelled out in your booking from the very start.
How and when do I pay?
You owe nothing until the job is done, not a minute sooner. Cards, checks, and cash all work here. Before the crew heads out, you go over the final total with them at your door and sign off on it.
Is there anything you won’t load?
Just a short list, and it all comes down to safety and the law: propane, gasoline, paint, and anything flammable, plus ammunition, houseplants, food that spoils, and pets. Have something oversized, extra heavy, or especially valuable? Let us know at booking so we send the right crew and gear.
What Our Customers Say
I would be remiss for not taking these few minutes to compliment the work performed by this company. We purchased a large hutch from a friend in Prairie Village to be transported to our home in Lenexa. The piece was too big for us to move on our own or to ask of others. These guys showed up at the precise promised time, wearing masks in this time of pandemic. They completed the move in about 45 minutes, handling the piece with care and they were respectful of both homes. Additionally, both men were conscientious. The logistics for arranging this move was far simpler than for some of the bigger companies not to mention a far more reasonable rate. This will be the first company I call for any future needs, and I'm happy to recommend them to any readers here.
I hardly ever write reviews, but our experience with 2 Dudes and a Truck was so wonderful that I'll take the time to write a great review! We were scheduling a last minute move and got in touch with these guys two days prior to the move. They originally said their next availability was Monday but we needed to move Saturday, and they said they would let us know if there was a cancellation. Further into our conversation, they offered to come at 7am on Saturday to fit us in prior to their other appointments for the day. The scheduling process was very efficient thanks to their responsiveness. Come move day, they showed up punctually and ready to work. The move out was easy but the move into the new apartment presented some challenges. The elevator in the new building broke down the day before. These guys moved everything up a flight of stairs with absolutely no complaints, even though they expected to have an elevator. They ended up moving more furniture than we originally requested, had to use stairs instead of the elevator, and the final price still remained within the range they quoted us! Not to mention the quote was by far the most reasonable in the KC area. These young men were polite, professional, and very hardworking. I would love to hire them again for our next move!
I highly recommend this company. They arrived exactly on time, carefully handled everything, and completed the job as estimated. The price was very reasonable.
Great guys, quick, easy, and fair!
