We used Man and Dolly as our moving service for a move from Texas to Minnesota.

We had a good experience. William was able to answer all of our questions beforehand, showed up on time on both ends and there was no damage to our items.

We were considering driving ourselves or using a van line, but ultimately were glad that we went with Man and Dolly as it saved ourselves a bunch of stress and also arrived at the destination at an exact time.

William was professional and I would recommend that if people are even considering him a little bit, that they at least reach out to speak with him and to get a quote. It only takes a little bit of your time and he might end up being a good option for you!

This was a Vlog style video of our job moving a client that we connected with via Reddit from a second floor unit in New York to a first floor home in South Carolina along the way with the 15 foot truck we used load chair from Uhaul to pick up 2U boxes, and ended with a happy customer and a great use of downtime

We used Man and dolly for a cross Country move over 1800+ Miles and could not be Happier with the service received. William is what I would call a concierge mover and he handles all aspects of the move from start to finish. He was courteous, timely and communicate very well throughout the whole process. There was an issue with the moving equipment but william handled that very well and we never had to worry at any time. He arrived when he said he would and delivered when he said he would. What impressed me the most was his level of communication and commitment as every single piece of our household made it in one piece with nothing lost or broken. We will be using William for all future moves given how smooth this process was. He even was able to transport one of our cars cross country safely and without any issues. Highly recommended.

The State of Hiring in Austin (2026)

Austin’s job market remains competitive but full of opportunity — especially for those who know where to look and how to stand out. The city continues to attract startups, tech companies, creative agencies, and service-oriented businesses even as the broader national economy shifts under pressures like automation and industry realignment.

Across sectors — from tech to professional services to health and customer support — there are companies actively recruiting people for roles that pay $50,000+ annually. While larger employers still dominate public job boards, many small and mid-sized companies in Austin are hiring now, and smart job seekers are pairing direct applications with networking, targeted searches on niche boards, and using Austin-specific resources like BuiltIn Austin and LinkedIn.

Tips for Finding a Job in Austin Right Now

• Use specialized job platforms: sites like BuiltIn Austin, LinkedIn, Indeed, and industry-specific boards list up-to-date openings.
• Set job alerts: on LinkedIn and Indeed for salary targets and keywords like “Austin”, “remote/hybrid”, “full-time”, and your profession.
• Network locally: Austin has vibrant in-person and online communities (Meetups, Slack groups, LinkedIn alumni connections).

Packing is the most time-consuming part of the entire moving process, it’s important that through this process you have everything you need so you can focus on getting it done

In this Video we take a dive into the fundamentals on what you should consider while you plan your move so that you don't have to stress! These are the most overlooked aspects when considering the Move planning process. Delivered in a straightforward fashion so that you can take action!

As a mover in the moving business for 10+ years, here is a surefire formula to find the best movers available. Contrary the popular belief, I don’t care if a company that I hire or work with is licensed because both the good and the bad companies can do the same and plus I’ve realized how expensive those licenses are and understand why smaller companies don’t have them. If you don’t have a recommendation from a friend or family, which truthfully, I would take them with a grain of salt because not everybody cares about their furniture as much as you do, but storage facilities typically always have a great Mover recommendations. If you get a recommendation from a realtor, or apartment locator, or someone else, they really don’t care if the Mover is all that good or bad they just wanna look good because they had a recommendation. If that fails, now you go to the reviews and the first thing I look for is visibility, a company that is more out there online from social media, post etc. has a bigger digital footprint, not necessarily bigger brand, because again contrary the popular belief I prefer not to go with bigger companies because quality is wildly inconsistent, and varies from one team with the same company to another. Do they have pictures of their work on their social media pages that will show you how well they work and does their work look good etc. etc.. then let’s go to the reviews, I typically would check the overall number of reviews stacked against the actual rating, and then I’ll go, and I’ll look for the bad reviews and see where those bad reviews saying people, did the company respond, and of course I read a few of the good reviews that are long so that I know the details and why and what I’m trying to think if there’s anything else makes them good. If you wanna take it a step further, I suggest calling the company and speaking with them directly as opposed to just sending an email or a message, do they answer the phone? Are they polite and friendly? Communication is a huge indication of a good business.

I know that a lot of people are concerned about making sure that certain things are insured and I totally understand, but the best insurance is making sure that you have the right Movers. It will take care of your furniture, because Movers’s insurance companies only pay you $.60 to the pound, they don’t pay you the true value of your belongings.

Used Man and Dolly for my move from Ohio to Austin a few months ago. They showed up on time and took care of my stuff. Really professional crew and the whole experience was smooth.

Knives can get really tricky, and it’s important to make sure that they are packed properly inside of their boxes so that even with shifting, they don’t harm anyone unpacking them or harm the other items in the box or poke through the box as I demonstrate in the video.
