Alabama-based Vexxil Energy will acquire Direct Fuel Transport (DFT) and McGuire Oil Company (MOCO), per a press release sent to NACS.
“This transformational acquisition marks a major leap forward in Vexxil’s scale, reach and ability to serve both proprietary and third-party customers as the carrier of choice in the South and beyond. Direct Fuel Transport, headquartered in Mobile, Alabama, has built a reputation over decades for exceptional on-time performance, operational reliability and deep expertise in fuel transportation. With this acquisition, Vexxil now controls one of the region’s largest dedicated fuel transport fleets, unlocking same-day and next-day delivery capabilities across a broader footprint than ever before,” the company said.
The acquisition “enables Vexxil to immediately serve new markets as a common carrier, providing premium transport services for major retailers, regional operators and national brands.” The company said that with an expanded fleet and logistics network now under its direct control, Vexxil offers greater delivery precision, scalability and resilience to support the Gulf Coast’s industries—construction, utilities, manufacturing, logistics, forestry, retail and the maritime industry that runs through the Gulf Coast’s ports and marinas.
“This is a defining moment for Vexxil Energy,” said Joel Poe, CEO and President of Vexxil Energy. “Direct Fuel Transport doesn’t just add capacity—it brings with it a reputation for excellence and a culture built on accountability to the customer. For years, the DFT team has made a name for itself by showing up on time, every time, and honoring the promise that fuel will be there when it’s needed most. We’re proud to carry that legacy forward and build on it—because the brand they’ve built isn’t just respected, it’s trusted. And now, it becomes the foundation for how we deliver for the Gulf Coast and beyond.”
The company did not share a timeline or transaction amount for the purchase.
