Thompson Discount Movers started serving families and businesses in Palestine, Texas in 1965. What began as a small hometown moving service grew into a trusted name across East Texas thanks to steady leadership, hard work, and word-of-mouth referrals. Jack Thompson guided the company from 1990 to early 2022, taking over day-to-day operations in 1998 from his father. Today, Daniel and Kati Thomas carry that legacy forward. They lead with the same values that made the company a staple: friendly service, careful handling, and dependable scheduling.
We’ve stayed focused on the simple promise that earned our reputation—treat every move like it’s our own. That means answering the phone, showing up when we say we will, and protecting your home and belongings at every step.
Who We Are Today
What We Do
We handle moves that fit real life in and around Palestine:
Residential Moving: Houses, townhomes, and senior moves—planned around your timeline and access (stairs, tight turns, elevators).
Apartment & Student Moves: Perfect for first apartments, dorm transitions, and quick in-town relocations.
Packing & Unpacking: Full-service, partial, or fragile-only. We shrink-wrap dresser drawers, protect glass and china, and label everything clearly.
Commercial & Office Moves: Weekend or evening options to reduce downtime; organized pack plans for desks, files, and equipment.
Loading/Unloading & In-Home Rearranging: Help for storage units, rental trucks, and single-item moves.
If you prefer, you don’t have to be home during packing or moving—many customers approve the plan and let us handle the rest.

Our crew handles every phase of your move with care—packing, loading, transport, and delivery—so your belongings arrive safely and on time.
