The Alta Capital Story

It was late November, just before Thanksgiving, in 1995. Alta Capital opened its doors at a rented room on Cockrell Avenue in Fort Worth, Texas. One employee soon turned into five, but there were only four desks. So, if you left your desk, the person standing got to sit down. Those are the humble beginnings of an employee and client-focused freight factoring company now more than two decades strong. Alta turned its first profit four months after its inception. The changes came fast and furious – a move from that Cockrell Avenue room to an office on Merrimac Circle and later to the current headquarters off Bryant Irvin Road. Alta Capital had 15 employees by the end of 1999, 20 by the end of 2000, and many more today.

Company Background

Alta is in the business of helping people, of doing the right thing by our clients and our employees, and that desire permeates everything we do inside and outside our walls. David Baker started Alta with the vision “to create a company…where people would leave work at the end of the day and go home and tell their kids how they made a difference in the life of someone that day.” That’s the Apex way.

At Alta , it’s about people doing wonderful things for Alta and for our clients. That above all, makes Alta different from our competitors. It’s about the details, the focus on company culture and client attention. We always go the extra distance. We take service, honesty, and integrity to heart. Alta buys freight bills, yes, but we also work hard to help our clients’ businesses succeed. Their success is our success.
