Hank's Moving & Hauling in Texas

Hank’s Moving & Hauling in Texas

Hank’s Moving & Hauling brings owner-operated moving and hauling to homeowners across Texas, backed by the same promise that has defined the Locally family since 1997. Hank Dolan has been writing binding estimates and driving the truck himself since 2005, and that has not changed. Whether you are relocating across town in a Hill Country exurb, downsizing after thirty years in a rural county, or hauling off years of accumulation from a family place, Hank puts his name on the truck, his number in writing, and his word on the line. As part of the Locally family, every Texas job carries our trademarked guarantee: the owner’s name, a local address you can drive to, and a license number you can look up before you ever pick up the phone.

Why Texas Homeowners Choose Hank’s Moving & Hauling

Texas homeowners aged 50 to 70 have heard the story too many times. The call-center mover quotes one price on the phone, sends a crew with out-of-state plates, and the number at the door looks nothing like the number you wrote down. By the time the truck is loaded, the options are pay up or figure out how to unload it yourself. Hank Dolan started his company in 2005 because he believed there had to be a better way, and nearly two decades later he is still proving it.

The Written Price Promise is not marketing language. It is a binding written estimate that Hank signs himself before a single box moves. No asterisks, no move-day surcharges, no “that was just the estimate” conversation while your furniture sits on the curb. The number Hank puts in writing is the number on the invoice, because a guess is not a price and a homeowner deserves to know before the truck rolls up.

Every mover on Hank’s crew is background-checked and on his own payroll. Never day labor, never a handoff to an outfit you never agreed to. The crew that loads your dining room is the crew that unloads it, and Hank drives, so there is never a moment where your belongings pass to someone whose name you do not know. That matters in Texas, where the distance between origin and destination can stretch across counties and you need to trust the person behind the wheel.

Hank publishes his name, his address, and his license number. He answers his own phone, and if you call at midnight because you are worried about tomorrow’s move, you will reach a live person. Ask for Hank, because he picks up. That is the Accountable in our L.O.C.A.L. values code, and it is how Hank has built his reputation across Texas communities.

The standing offers run year-round: 10% off always for seniors and veterans, no trip charge inside the county, a free second opinion on any written estimate you have been handed, and $40 off any repair over $200. Every job carries a 90-day written guarantee. One call brings Hank back. That is the Loyal in L.O.C.A.L. - we would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket.

Backed by the Locally Family

Locally began in 1997 when Ward Selby, a retired county extension agent, kept hearing the same story from neighbors. Somebody called a number off a listing, a truck with out-of-state plates showed up, the quote tripled at the door, and the number stopped working. Ward wrote down what a homeowner could actually verify in five minutes: a local phone number a person answers, an address you can drive to, the owner’s name and face, and a license number you can look up. Any company that would publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard, and it is still the only thing Locally sells.

Hank’s Moving & Hauling meets that standard on every Texas job. The Locally family guarantee applies in full: the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says on the phone is the price on the invoice. No corporate layers, no call-center deflection, no disappearing act when something needs fixing. Just Hank’s name on the truck, his signature on the estimate, and the oldest accountability mechanism there is - he is going to run into you again at the hardware store on Saturday.
