Crossett

What Crossett does

Crossett Inc. is a privately held, for-profit petroleum transportation company founded in 1928 and headquartered at 201 South Carver Street, Warren, Pennsylvania. The company specializes in fee-for-service transport of liquid petroleum products — including gasoline, diesel, crude oil, lube oil, asphalt, waxes, resins, additives, and cosmetic-grade fuels — across the Eastern United States and Ontario, Canada. It serves a customer base described as 'hundreds of commercial accounts' across petroleum distribution, convenience store retail, and industrial/specialty verticals, acquired primarily through direct sales, a 'Request A Quote' web form, and industry partnerships, with multi-year contracts as the standard commercial vehicle.

The operating platform is built on a fleet of more than 100 late-model Peterbilt tractors (day cab and sleeper configurations) and over 210 trailers spanning multi-compartment, smooth-bore, LPG, propane, stainless, and tri-axle types. Crossett self-manages 12 terminal locations across Pennsylvania (Warren, Bradford, Brookville, Clearfield), New York (Tonawanda, Kennedy, Rochester), and Ohio (Hubbard, Canton, Cleveland, Columbus), with the Columbus facility opened in 2018 as the 12th site. A second service line — Tractor Trailer Maintenance, performed at the Warren, PA and Tonawanda, NY facilities — provides in-house fleet upkeep, R-Stamp certified cargo tank welding/repair, NY/PA State and Federal vehicle inspections, and preventive maintenance, which is offered to external customers as well as used internally.

The business is differentiated primarily by a long-tenured safety record (CSA compliance, 50+ Million Mile Club drivers, 15 drivers with 20+ years without incident) and unusually high driver retention (over 25% of drivers with 10+ year tenure). The company is family-owned, currently led by Alex Keddie as Chairman & CEO with his son Alex 'AK' Keddie as President; revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis with custom quote-based pricing, and no financial data is publicly disclosed. Technology infrastructure consists of standard fleet telematics, on-board vehicle systems, and the federally mandated CSA tracking framework, with no disclosed AI/ML or software product layer.
