Thomas Transfer was officially founded in Palo Alto, California in 1944. From an all-purpose service facility that included auto maintenance, an ambulance service and a small bobtail truck, the moving business began by providing Stanford University with student and faculty luggage deliveries. In 1966 we became an agent for Atlas Van Lines and by the late 1960's, began relocating employees for local corporations. We moved to our present location in Mountain View, California in 1968. We are family owned and operated, and a California PUC-certified woman owned small business. Our dedication to customer service continues today and is reflected in the comments of our customers and the commendations we receive.

Atlas Van Lines was formed in 1948 by a group of 33 individual moving firms whose common interest was to provide movement of interstate household goods. Today, Atlas is the 2nd largest carrier. They are affiliated with nearly 800 agents world-wide, located in over 140 countries. Presently, Thomas Transfer and approximately 65 other agents are shareholders of Atlas Van Lines. Nine out of ten Atlas agents are at least second-generation movers. Our affiliation with Atlas Van Lines began in 1966.
