Solar Transport was founded in 1963 by W. A. Krause and Tony Gentle in Hampton, Iowa. Starting with one truck our founders had a single purpose: to be the best in the business. Today Solar Transport upholds that tradition of working every day to be the very best it can be. The company grew organically from the single truck to a fleet of fourteen trucks by 1990.
In the 1990's the company grew through a number of small and mid-size acquisitions and become a regional carrier, serving the Midwest. Solar's continued growth has brought us to nearly $45 million annual revenue, delivering fuels in over 110 trucks operated by the best Drivers in the industry.

Driving west on I-80 today June 28, 2017 at mile marker 139 a solar truck tanker merged over into center lane when I was already merged before he did and was inches of taking my front right quarter panel off. Was doing 73 mph at time as truck had to be going faster up the hill towards east mixmaster. My wife called to complain and a few minutes later we noticed the truck was waning in the distance behind as the dispatcher told my wife they would talk with the driver, I would give 5 star to dispatch but a 1 star to driver
