Hank's Moving & Hauling

Hank’s Moving & Hauling

Hank’s Moving & Hauling is the owner-operated moving company that puts Hank Dolan’s name on the truck, his signature on every binding estimate, and himself behind the wheel from the first room to the last stop on the road. As part of the Locally family, Hank shares our founding promise: the owner’s name, a local address you can drive to, and a license number you can look up before you ever make the call. No call centers, no handoffs, no move-day surprises.

What Hank’s Moving & Hauling Is Known For

Hank has been writing binding estimates and driving the truck himself since 2005. That’s not marketing language. That’s twenty years of showing up with the same crew that loads your house and unloads it at the other end. The guys who wrap your grandmother’s china are the same guys who carry it up the stairs at the new place. They’re on Hank’s payroll, background-checked, never day labor pulled from a parking lot. He knows their names, their kids’ names, and whether they remember to pad doorframes.

The Written Price Promise is why most people call him in the first place. Hank puts the number in writing, signs it, and that’s the price you pay. No asterisks, no “stair carry” fees invented on moving day, no fuel surcharges that weren’t on the page you signed. A guess is not a price, and Hank doesn’t deal in guesses. He walks through your house, counts the rooms, asks about the piano, and gives you a number you can budget around.

Hank publishes his name, his address, and his license number right where you can find them. He answers his own phone, 24/7, and if you ask for him, you get him. Not a dispatcher, not a script, not “someone will call you back.” His cell. His voice. “I live twenty minutes away” is something he actually says, and it’s true. You’ll see him again at the hardware store on Saturday, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is.

Every job carries a 90-day written guarantee. One call brings him back. And he means it literally: Hank picks up.

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’ve already got, and $40 off any repair over $200. The L.O.C.A.L. values code - Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal - isn’t a poster on the wall. It’s how Hank decides whether to take a job, whether to hire someone, and whether to eat the cost when a bookcase gets scratched.

Part of the Locally Family

Locally started in 1997 when a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby got tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state plates, a quote tripled at the door, a number that stopped working. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes - a local phone number, an address you can drive to, the owner’s name and face, a license number you can look up - and that list is still the entire standard. Hank’s Moving & Hauling meets it completely. One standard, one guarantee, and a vetting process that hasn’t changed in twenty-nine years. When you see Hank’s name on the truck, you know who you’re getting.
