GP Transco was founded on June 30, 2006, by Gedas Poviliunas, in Illinois, United States.[4] The company was headquartered in Darien before moving to its new headquarters in Joliet, Illinois, in 2020.[5][6][7]

In 2019, the company launched a program to reward its top fifty percent of drivers with a salary bonus each month based on fuel efficiency.[8][9][10]

In 2020, GP Transco partnered with Samsara Telematics Solutions to deploy their IoT platform that included dashboard cameras and AI to monitor drivers and streamline operations.[11][12] In the same year, the company built its cloud-based transportation management system platform, OpenRoad TMS.[13][14][15]

GP Transco was named as the best trucking company to work for in 2021 by Smart-Trucking and ranked on the list of privately held companies for growth on Inc. 5000.[16][17] The company was also named as the "top fleet to drive" for by Samsara in its annual fleet awards.[18][19] It has been recognized and listed on several platforms for its management systems and services.[20][21]
