Yes and, although very nice, they damaged about 3 pieces of antique furniture. The legs had to be glued back together again. I was in tears; they were my MIL's things. They readily accepted not getting paid a dime. Never again.
I think they are local operations primarily. I have used them for two moves and they were great. Both moves were less than 70 miles. I think Mayflower is a great long distance moving company, been around forever.
I don't think Two Men is an interstate operation, just local. We have used them several times with my MILs moves. Very pleased with them. The experience anyone has with movers is directly related to the crew you get.

I used Mayflower and was told they are now owned by United Van Lines. Shucks.
We used Two Men and a Truck for our move from Florida to Tennessee. They finished the packing that we hadn't done on a Wednesday, loaded the truck on Friday and Tuesday morning unloaded it here in Tennessee. Just as we had scheduled it with them. Nothing missing or broken; not even a ding. The same two guys who loaded the truck drove it up and unloaded it. Put everything exactly where we wanted it; no complaints about lugging a lot of heavy boxes upstairs to my wife's craft room. Pleasant experience from start to finish.
We wanted a trouble free move and got it. They were expensive, but for us the outcome was worth the price. Especially when I read some of the horror stories about what people have gone through with the movers they hired.
I had a good experience with 2 men and a truck. Moved me about 2 hours away, and the price was reasonable. The only caveat is that when they moved my couch in, my ceiling fan got damaged. One of the fan blades broke off.
They seem to be responsive to the issue, but I've still got to keep on top of it with contacting them, in case that enthusiasm fades and they try to not respond any more. They did ask me for the model of the fan, and said that they're looking for a way to get a blade.
By the way, the fan is pretty low, and they had to stand the couch up to get it in, so it wasn't an egregious neglect of effort. I just think that professional movers should walk in and survey the space and all protruding items, to be able to anticipate the possibilities with collision with things.
The issue with TM&AT is that you have to pay for their time both ways. I used them for a 2.5-hour move and it was not that bad. However, unlike other firms, they don’t come in and do estimates to give you an idea of how long it should take based on what they see in the house. I had one other move take way longer than necessary because they didn’t want to “waste time” doing stuff like taking items apart to get them through the door/stair area. Of course, that ended up taking way longer than taking stuff apart would. I am pretty sure they spent like 1-2 hours trying to get a couch through the door only to find that they needed to keep the cushions separate from the frame. Really?
If you chose a company that is mostly local, for long distance, you'll run into risks and a learning curve.
Chose only those who do long distance on a regular basis.
