What D and C does

D & C Transportation Inc. is a family-owned, privately held bulk fuel distributor and trucking company founded in 1974 and headquartered in Orleans, Vermont. The company transports and delivers gasoline, diesel fuel, propane, biofuel, kerosene, jet fuel, and home heating fuels to convenience stores, gas stations, industrial plants, commercial retailers, construction companies, hospitals, and municipalities across Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, and New York. Its fleet consists of over 15 modern Freightliner and Kenworth trucks equipped with divided-compartment trailers that enable multi-product delivery in a single trip, with a minimum delivery volume of 5,500 gallons and capacity up to 11,000 gallons. The company holds distribution agreements with Gulf Oil, Irving Oil, and Valero, and also markets unbranded petroleum products to customers without branded-program requirements.

The company's technology stack is operational rather than digital-native, comprising the Petro Vend electronic fuel card system with swipe-and-pin authentication, electronic fuel inventory monitoring, and computerized delivery ticketing. The Petro Vend program enables fleet and home customers to track purchases by time, date, location, product, quantity, and tax amounts, and is offered with no transaction, application, annual, or service fees. Through its sister company FPH Tank Installation Services, D & C extends its service offering into tank installation, maintenance, repair, spill response, and financing for fuel storage infrastructure. The company also provides heavy equipment hauling, dump truck rentals with hazardous-materials certification, and petroleum site development for convenience stores and gas stations.

D & C earns revenue primarily through transaction-fee-based bulk fuel delivery and equipment hauling, supplemented by professional services revenue from tank installation and site development work. Pricing is quote-based and customized per customer, with daily price quotes delivered by phone, fax, or email and special pricing programs for regular customers. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by direct outreach (sales representative Winston Judd), brand-partner referrals, and referrals from the sister tank-services business. Leadership is concentrated in the Oeschger family: Fred Oeschger serves as President and Scott Oeschger as Vice-President. The company explicitly positions itself as maintaining a "small business feel" despite 50+ years of continuous operation.
