Our History

1960 - High school sweethearts John and Patricia Siegel founded Tru-Pak.

1965 - Tru-Pak struck gold when John was introduced to Leo Santini, owner of the first million-dollar moving company. As a result of that meeting, Tru-Pak was entrusted to do all Seven Santini Brothers International Moving Company moves between New York City and Florida.

1972 - Tru-Pak graduated from straight trucks to trailers, enabling operations to expand across all 48 contiguous United States. Rick, John's brother (pictured on right), worked as a Tru-Pak driver until 1998.

1974 - The moving business has always been a family affair. Siegel twins, Allyson and Mimi, got into the game early, when they filled pack orders and folded moving pads after school.

1975 - Schuler Museum move
