Lone Star Van Lines

Lone Star Van Lines has made their mark along Fort Worth's bustling East Loop 820 South corridor since 1981, where this family-owned operation runs a tight ship under president Shelby Thigpen's leadership. With over four decades of moving experience and BBB accreditation since 2017, they've built something special in the competitive Dallas-Fort Worth market—affordable rates starting at just $75 per hour combined with that personal touch you don't get from the big corporate chains. Their approach differs from typical moving outfits because they handle everything from tiny apartment moves to massive multi-building relocations, and they're not afraid to tackle the complicated stuff either. What really makes them stand out is their commitment to accurate pricing through in-home estimates rather than surprise fees later, plus they maintain both semi-trucks and box trucks to handle jobs of any size. The crew works Monday through Thursday, keeping things efficient while their community involvement—like funding water wells in Africa—shows they care about more than just moving boxes around Fort Worth.
