Hank’s Moving & Hauling in Missouri
Since 2005, Hank Dolan has been loading his own truck, writing his own estimates, and driving Missouri roads himself. Hank’s Moving & Hauling joined the Locally family because Hank already lived by the same rule we started with in 1997: before you let someone into your house, you should be able to verify who they are. Across Missouri, homeowners get the same deal Hank’s neighbors in his own county have counted on for over 29 years - a binding written estimate signed before a single box moves, the same crew from first room to last stop, and Hank’s own name on the truck outside your window. As part of the Locally family, every Missouri job carries our trademarked promise: 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 Missouri Homeowners Choose Hank’s Moving & Hauling
Hank started this business because he had watched too many folks get a quote on the phone and a bill at the door that looked nothing alike. His Written Price Promise is simple - the estimate you sign is the price you pay, full stop. No asterisks, no move-day fuel surcharges, no “stairs fee” that nobody mentioned. Hank puts the number in writing and signs it himself, because a guess is not a price and your budget is not a suggestion.
The crew that loads your grandmother’s china in the morning is the same crew that unloads it at the new place. They’re on Hank’s payroll, background-checked, never day labor picked up outside a hardware store. Hank drives the truck himself, so there is never a handoff to some outfit you never agreed to. Ask for Hank when you call - he answers his own phone, 24 hours a day, because the person who gives you the price ought to be the person who shows up with the dolly.
Hank publishes his name, his address, and his license number right where you can find them. He’s not a franchise, not a call-center brand with a local number forwarding to Texas. He’s the guy you’ll see again at the feed store on Saturday, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is. That matters in Missouri, where word still travels at church and the coffee shop, and a man’s name is either good or it isn’t.
Hank stands behind every move with a 90-day written guarantee. Something shifts in the truck? One call brings him back. Seniors and veterans always get 10% off. There’s no trip charge inside the county, and if you’ve got another mover’s written estimate, Hank will give you a free second opinion. He’ll even take $40 off any repair over $200, because fixing what got broken on his watch is just part of the job.
Every job Hank runs is built on the L.O.C.A.L. values code - Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. It’s not a poster on the wall. It’s the framework he uses when he’s deciding whether to squeeze in a last-minute move for a widow whose closing got moved up, or when he’s choosing to hire from the county instead of bringing in cheaper labor from two towns over.
Backed by the Locally Family
When Hank joined the Locally family, he didn’t change how he did business. We simply put our name behind what he was already doing. Every Hank’s Moving & Hauling job across Missouri carries the Locally guarantee: the owner’s name published, a local address you can verify, a license number you can look up, and the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up at your door. If something goes wrong, you know where to find Hank, and you know the Locally family stands behind him. We started this in 1997 because a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby got tired of hearing neighbors burned by out-of-state trucks and disconnected phone numbers. The standard hasn’t changed. Neither has Hank.
