What Sope Creek Capital buys
Sope Creek Capital is the family office of Kevin Nolan, a freight entrepreneur who started his career at C.H. Robinson and has founded more than 15 companies, including Nolan Transportation Group and OTR Capital. Based in the Atlanta area, it puts buyout, growth and venture money into transportation, distribution and logistics businesses. It backs founder-owned companies that want to scale, invests equity alongside independent sponsors who are buying companies, and also makes freight technology venture and special situations investments. It publishes no size range.
Its main control investment is Road Warrior Parts & Service, a heavy-duty truck parts distributor near Dallas that Sope Creek recapitalized in March 2024, when it was called Commercial Truck and Trailer Parts. Road Warrior has since added family-owned truck repair, tire and service shops in California, Kentucky and Missouri, and each keeps its own name. Sope Creek's operating partners work inside the business. An owner of a heavy-duty truck repair shop or parts distributor is the most likely fit, either as an add-on to Road Warrior or as a new freight-related platform.

Greymont’s take
How Sope Creek Capital fits a seller
Sope Creek fits a founder in trucking, freight or heavy-duty truck service who wants a buyer that knows the industry from the inside. Its founder built and ran freight companies, and its operating partners work day to day in its holdings. That can help a seller who wants hands-on support, but it also means the new owner will be closely involved. Road Warrior's sellers have kept their brand names, and one second-generation owner says he now runs a larger book of business than before the sale.
Sope Creek publishes no size limits and has used outside lenders: Plexus Capital and Georgia Banking Company financed the 2024 CTTP recapitalization. An owner should ask how a deal would be funded and how much debt the company would carry, and whether the deal would be a Sope Creek buyout or a co-investment behind an independent sponsor.
Questions owners ask
Does Sope Creek Capital buy truck repair shops?
Yes, through Road Warrior Parts & Service. In July 2026 Road Warrior announced it had bought LASCO Heavy Duty in Kentucky, Mid-States Tire & Retread in Missouri and Colton Truck Terminal Garage in California, all heavy-duty truck service businesses.
What does Sope Creek Capital invest in?
Its own releases describe buyout, growth and venture capital for companies in transportation, distribution and logistics. Its site also lists founder-owned businesses, co-investments with independent sponsors, and special situations.
Who is behind Sope Creek Capital?
