Whether you’re a homeowner looking to keep your home warm through the winter or a business in need of bulk diesel for heavy machinery, Independence Fuel Distributor is the name you can trust.
Our History
The journey of Independence Fuel Distributor is built on a strong foundation of trust, quality service, and family values. Our story began long before our official establishment in 2017, when we took over a well-respected fuel distribution business that had been serving the Big Bay, MI community since 1998. When the original owner was ready to retire, we saw an opportunity to continue their legacy while bringing our own passion and dedication to the industry.
What started as a family-owned operation with a single fuel truck has grown into a trusted fuel supplier with an expanded fleet, services, and product offerings. Today, we proudly provide on-road and off-road diesel, bulk no-lead and premium gasoline, as well as home heating oils, including #1 and #2 grades and seasonal blended fuel.
Even as we continue to grow, our core values of honesty, integrity, and reliability remain unchanged. We are proud to serve our customers with the same commitment to quality and dependable service that has defined this business for decades.
Our Commitment to Quality and Reliability
At Independence Fuel Distributor, we understand that quality and reliability are essential when it comes to fuel delivery. Our customers rely on us to keep their homes warm, their businesses running, and their equipment operating efficiently—and we take that responsibility seriously.
We are proud to offer a diverse range of high-quality fuel products, each meeting strict industry standards to ensure top performance. From diesel fuels for commercial vehicles and off-road equipment to high-quality gasoline for vehicles and machinery, all our fuels are clean-burning and efficient, ensuring maximum performance. Our home heating oils are formulated to provide consistent, reliable heat, even during the coldest winter months.
In addition to the quality of our products, our reliability is what sets us apart. We understand that running out of fuel is not just an inconvenience—it can disrupt your operations or leave you without heat during the coldest months of the year. That’s why we prioritize timely deliveries and work closely with our customers to ensure they always have the fuel they need when they need it.
