LANSING, Mich., April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading moving franchise TWO MEN AND A TRUCK is putting its mission to Move People Forward® in action with its Day of Hiring Event on Wednesday, May 1 in Texas. With 51.8 percent of the company's business falling between May and September, the brand is launching a strategic hiring initiative to fill 5,000 jobs nationally.
