Our Mission
Hot Fuel was founded by a former Marine 1391 Bulk Fuel Specialist who has nearly 30 years of experience having worked in Fuels Management and Operations since 1997. Experience includes working with the all branches of the Military including overseas operations and Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) facilities and airports. This experience has provided a lens into all the different types of fuel operations, best practices, and standards across the industry. As a Veteran who works with Veterans, it became clear that one of the greatest challenges for our Veterans is finding a new purpose and mission after active duty service.
Hot Fuel’s mission is not only providing the resources needed during emergencies, but also providing the best talent. Military Veterans understand working under pressure in adverse conditions, where there is no time clock to punch and when putting the mission and people first is what counts. Hot Fuel provides that new mission to those Veterans and their families.
The Hot Fuel Mission Statement:
Provide unmatched Fuel Management and Operations Support by engaging the passion of qualified, experienced Veterans who understand commitment and have the drive and will to continue serving.
