Hank's Moving & Hauling in West Virginia

Hank’s Moving & Hauling in West Virginia

Hank’s Moving & Hauling has been hauling furniture up narrow hollow roads and across West Virginia county lines since 2005. Hank Dolan started this outfit with one truck and a simple rule: the estimate you sign is the price you pay, period. Nearly twenty years later, he’s still writing those binding estimates himself, still driving the truck, and still answering his own phone. For West Virginia homeowners who’ve learned the hard way that a low phone quote can turn into a shock at the door, Hank offers something different - a name you can look up, an address you can drive to, and a face you’ll see again at the hardware store. As part of the Locally family, every Hank’s job carries our Written Price Promise and the L.O.C.A.L. values code that Ward Selby started back in 1997.

Why West Virginia Homeowners Choose Hank’s Moving & Hauling

Hank Dolan puts his license number in the open, publishes his address, and tells you to ask anyone on your street about his crew. That’s not marketing - it’s the only way he knows to run a business after watching too many neighbors get stung by call-center movers who subcontract the job to day labor nobody vetted.

Here’s how Hank works. You call, and Hank picks up. He comes to your house, walks every room, and writes a binding estimate that he signs himself. No asterisks, no “fuel surcharge” surprises on moving day, no crew you’ve never met swapping out halfway through the job. The men who load your grandmother’s china in Morgantown are the same men who unload it in Charleston, and Hank’s driving the truck between. His movers are on his own payroll, background-checked, not picked up from a parking lot that morning.

Hank’s been burned himself by outfits that play games with pricing, so he built his business to be the antidote. His Written Price Promise means the number on that signed paper is the number on the invoice. If something we packed or carried gets damaged, we make it right - one call brings Hank back. That 90-day written guarantee covers every moving and hauling job he touches.

And Hank doesn’t forget who keeps a small-town business alive. Seniors and veterans always get 10% off. There’s no trip charge if you’re inside the county. Got another company’s written estimate? Hank’ll give you a free second opinion. Need hauling work instead of a full move? Any repair over $200 gets $40 off. These aren’t door-buster gimmicks; they’re the standing offers of a guy who plans to be here another twenty years.

The L.O.C.A.L. code runs through everything. Local roots - Hank lives here, hires here, and his truck carries his own name. On time - the window he gives you is the window, and he calls if traffic on I-64 changes that. Community first - you’ll see him at the youth league game or the volunteer fire department pancake breakfast. Accountable - his cell number is the one on the card, and he answers it. Loyal - he’d rather move your daughter to her first apartment in ten years than squeeze you once today.

Backed by the Locally Family

When Ward Selby started Locally in 1997, he was trying to solve a problem that still hasn’t gone away: how do you know who’s actually local before you let them into your house? His answer was a four-point test - local phone, published address, owner’s name and face, license number you can verify - and it’s still the only standard we use. Hank Dolan passed that test before he ever hung his shingle with us.

Every Hank’s Moving & Hauling job across West Virginia carries the Locally guarantee: the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says is the price on the invoice. No call centers, no handoffs, no disappearing acts. If something goes wrong, there’s a name and a face and a published address holding the line. That’s not a slogan - it’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it’s why we put our name behind Hank’s.
