History of Alta Transportation
Alta Fuels started out over 50 years ago in Alamosa as “Mortensen Oil” owned and operated by Courtney “Corky” Mortensen who continues to work in the Alta business today. Corky turned the business over to his son Dan Mortensen in 2006.
The company grew rapidly with the purchase of Sunwest Oil and Winco, fuel distributors in Alamosa. Dan initiated construction of the current blending and storage facility in Alamosa and in 2006.
