Hank's Moving & Hauling in Tennessee

Hank’s Moving & Hauling in Tennessee

When Tennessee homeowners need a mover they can actually find after the truck pulls away, Hank’s Moving & Hauling is the name they get. Hank Dolan has been loading his own truck and writing his own binding estimates since 2005, and he’s still the one who answers when you call. Across Tennessee, from the rolling farmland of the west to the ridge-and-valley country of the east, Hank delivers the same promise every time: the price you sign is the price you pay, the crew that loads is the crew that unloads, and Hank himself drives. As part of the Locally family, every Hank’s job carries our founding guarantee - a real name, a real address, a real license number, and a person who picks up the phone.

Why Tennessee Homeowners Choose Hank’s Moving & Hauling

Tennessee’s got no shortage of moving companies with 800 numbers and trucks that might be here today, Arkansas tomorrow. Hank Dolan built his business for folks who’ve already met one of those outfits and won’t do it twice. He started in 2005 after watching the same story repeat: a friendly voice on the phone, a crew nobody’s ever seen, and a bill that looks nothing like the quote. So Hank did the opposite. He put his name on the truck, his address in the book, and his license number where anyone can check it. He answers his own phone, 24 hours a day, because “ask for Hank” means something when Hank actually picks up.

The Written Price Promise is what brings people back. Hank walks through your house, counts what you’ve got, and puts a number on paper that he signs. Not an estimate, not a guess - a binding price. If he packs it and carries it, he makes it right. That 90-day written guarantee means one call brings him back, no argument, no runaround. His movers are on his own payroll, background-checked, and they stay with your job start to finish. No day labor, no handoff to some crew you never agreed to. Seniors and veterans always get 10% off. There’s no trip charge inside the county. And if you’ve got another written estimate, Hank’ll give you a free second opinion - because a second set of eyes on a binding price is how you know who’s actually standing behind their number.

Hank runs every job 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 one more job on a Saturday or whether to eat the cost when a piece of trim gets scuffed. He lives twenty minutes from most of his customers. He’ll see you at the hardware store. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.

Backed by the Locally Family

Hank’s Moving & Hauling carries the Locally name because Hank publishes what our founder Ward Selby first wrote down in 1997: 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. Ward was a retired county extension agent who kept hearing the same story from neighbors - out-of-state plates, tripled quotes, disconnected numbers. He built Locally around one question: are you actually local? The answer has to come before you call, not after you’ve been burned. Every Hank’s job in Tennessee is backed by that same standard. The person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says is the price on the invoice. No asterisks, no move-day surprises, no call center three states away.
