Salt Lake City: Livability in the 21st Century

One of the largest tank truck carriers for delivering fuels
in the Western United States, Alpha Transport, Inc., based
in Salt Lake City, Utah, has terminals in Utah and Idaho and
the ability to service all forty-eight states of the continental
United States. Alpha began operations in 1952 as Johnson
Oil Company, with the name changed in 1990 to Alpha
Transport, Inc., to reflect its most current services.
Alpha’s mission is to provide a transportation service of
value and to expand the company through customer service
and innovation: Right Product, Right Place, Right Time,
Every Time!
From its original fleet of 3 trucks and 5 employees, Alpha
now has more than 50 trucks and over 80 employees. It specializes
in servicing a customer base that distributes virtually
every petroleum product, including gasoline, distillates,
light motor oils and aviation products. Alpha specializes in
hauling bulk petroleum products, with deliveries to multiple
locations, such as gas stations, truck stops, bulk plants,
refineries and airports. The company’s drivers are cleared at
nearly every loading terminal in the Western United States,
allowing them to go anywhere at any time.
Adam Lindsay, company vice president,
noted that the company’s drivers are
Alpha employees, who are continually
trained to recognize customers’ needs.
Alpha’s ongoing safety program minimizes
risk to its employees, as well as
assuring that the public is served with
the highest possible degree of safety.
“In order to maintain these goals, we
must promote customer satisfaction
through safe and dependable deliveries,
modern equipment, and a committed
staff,” he said.
In 2003, Alpha Transport diversified
its fleet, creating the Alpha Express division, a truck load
fleet that delivers general commodities such as paper goods,
plastics and chemicals to the twenty-four Western states,
with the ability to service all other parts of the continental
U.S. A licensed and bonded broker, Alpha has decades of
brokerage experience and a logistics software system capable
of handling any transport order. Its focus is on customer
satisfaction that is achieved through safe
and reliable services at a reasonable price.
Routine maintenance is essential to provide
excellent customer service. With four
large bays, over 10,000 square feet and
the ability to accommodate LCV vehicles,
the Salt Lake City maintenance shop and
trained staff ensure that Alpha Transport
can offer a well maintained fleet. The shop
is cargo tank certified, providing the ability
to test and maintain cargo tanks, creating
more flexibility with the fleet.
