TRANSPORT Slowly started back in 1940, when Kristen Håkull from Skjold bought a farm at a place called Vølstad. The first truck was a reality in 1946, at a time when everybody was eager to get business running after the war. Our founder, in addition to run the farm, also soon expanding with more trucks. The activity grew and company moved to Ålgård (outside Sandnes), with residence some year before finally moving to Sandnes. In the 60’ ties, Håkull slowly started with trucks to and from Europe.
