Since 2007
Founded in Dallas. Built to move people, not waste.
Green Van Lines was the first eco-friendly moving company in the United States, and since 2007 the same idea has run the business: move households across the country without leaving a trail of disposable material behind them.
The beginning
A moving company that started with the environment in mind.
In 2007 the moving industry ran on single-use cardboard, plastic wrap and whatever routing was cheapest that week. Green Van Lines was founded in Dallas as the first mover in the country to build the opposite way: reusable materials as the default, route planning that treats fuel as a cost to the planet and the customer, and a fleet operated with that in mind.
That decision shaped everything that came after it, including the specialty we are known for now: long-distance moving out of Dallas–Fort Worth to the rest of the country.
The record
From the truck to the company.
Guy Cohen, founder. Guy started as a mover in 1999, worked every position in the business and built long-distance departments for three moving companies before founding Green Van Lines in 2007. He writes our moving guides.

Today
Run by its founder
Green Van Lines is run by the person who started it, focused on long-distance moves out of Dallas–Fort Worth.
One standard, every move
Local, commercial, storage, packing or interstate: the crew, the wrapping and the arrival call do not change.
Transparency over promises
Written estimates, delivery windows expressed as a spread, and pricing factors explained before you sign.
Lighter on the road
Reusable materials, consolidated loads and fuel-conscious routing reduce what a move costs the environment.
