Why I put my name on the truck
I’m Bob Haynes, and this outfit is mine. I opened it in 2006 on a single rule I’ve never bent: the flat price is written and signed before the truck rolls — no charge creeping up after a tight Red Lion stairwell, no bump because a sanctuary door ran narrow.
I grew up on a farm outside Felton, near the Mason-Dixon line, and stayed put. For years I hauled freight and moved pianos for a York outfit before my own name went on a truck. A good many outfits float a lowball, then pad it once the load is strapped down — from the start we aimed to be the opposite.
Who shows up at your door
- Around 14 movers on staff — all W-2, background-checked, and in a Bob Haynes uniform.
- A fleet we own — at day’s end every rig heads back to the Delta Rd lot, gets swept out, restocked with clean moving blankets, and slotted into the next morning’s runs.
- One team from load-in through load-out on in-town jobs — your move never gets handed off to a stranger halfway down the road.
- Fully credentialed — Pennsylvania PUC household-goods authority covers our in-state work, and our own US DOT and MC authority handles the interstate side.
The jobs we know cold
Grand pianos, uprights, and consoles; the organ in a church sanctuary or a fellowship hall; historic York row homes and Red Lion walk-ups; farmhouses down gravel lanes out past Dover and Dallastown. Cold, snowy PA winters are a given — we salt the ramp, lay floor runners for the slush, and tarp every piece.
Who you’ll be dealing with
- Diane Kessler anchors the front desk — she prices jobs, issues certificates of insurance whenever a landlord requests one, and keeps our Pennsylvania household-goods paperwork current.
- Wade Trumbauer works dispatch, laying out each day’s truck board across York County and along the I-83 corridor.
- Curtis Bollinger is my lead crew chief — grand pianos, organs, gun safes, and church-sanctuary and stairwell carries.
- Nate Shellenberger takes the long hauls out along I-83 and US-30.
- Owen Krebs owns the historic York row-home and Red Lion walk-up work.
What you’ll pay
Local jobs run on the clock: $140 an hour puts two movers and the truck at your door, and adding a third hand lifts it to $190 — the dollies, pads, moving blankets, shrink-wrap and wardrobe cartons, plus COI prep, are already folded into that rate, billed from a one-hour starting point. On any run that crosses a state line, that figure hardens into a binding total the moment it hits the page, signed at our Felton desk long before a carton ever leaves the house.
You’ll find the whole rundown on the local pricing page; fire off a request on the quote form and Diane replies inside the day.
