Veteran Energy Transport

What Veteran Energy Transport does

Veteran Energy Transport (VET) is a privately held, 100% veteran-owned crude oil gathering and transportation company headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, with operational and maintenance facilities in Odessa, Longview, and Corpus Christi, Texas. The company provides gathering and transportation services for crude oil and condensate across the Mid-Continent, South Texas, and TexLa oil regions, serving both small independent operators and larger unique marketing ventures. Services are delivered through a combination of company-owned trucks and an owner-operator network, supported by a web-based client portal for account access and communications.

The company differentiates on a mission-first, veteran-led culture and on operational tooling described as proprietary "well predictability and utilization models" intended to time pickups with well readiness and optimize fleet utilization. Its go-to-market is direct sales through phone, email, and the corporate website, with referral-based customer acquisition common in oilfield services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue mechanics are transaction-fee driven per load, consistent with standard crude-haul contracting.

Customer segmentation spans small crude oil operators (primary), larger unique marketing ventures, and Mid-Continent-region clients across Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. Marketing channels consist of the company website, an organic Twitter account, and dedicated recruitment outreach targeting veterans and experienced crude drivers. No external investors, parent company, partnerships, or funding rounds are disclosed in the available data; ownership appears to remain entirely with founder-operators. The company is small (11-50 employees), actively hiring, and has no public financial disclosures.
