The Early Years
In 1971 George & Barbara Hudson founded Hudson Fuel Oil, Inc. George was unhappy with the service his employer (Silver Oil) was giving to customers. He purchased a truck and started his own oil route on the east side of Cincinnati. George named his new company Hudson Fuel Oil, Inc. With the assistance from his wife Barbara, the company grew steadily. In the early seventies George’s father joined the couple. Everett Hudson who drove one of the delivery trucks for George.
George and Barbara were young, innovative, and not afraid to take risks. Hudson Fuel Oil employed new strategies of customer service never seen before by any other heating oil dealer in the Cincinnati market. George has always been an entrepreneur at heart by starting up Daniel Boone campground, New Life Water and drilling and operating domestic oil wells in Kentucky. He always preached the need for our country to be energy independent.
In 1998 George and Barbara turned over day to day operations of the company to son-in-law, T. David Carter. David has an extensive background in commercial banking and sales, David has guided Hudson Fuel Oil, Inc. through six acquisitions. (Action Fuel Oil, McFarland Oil, Milford Oil, Myers & Duckworth, Rogers Oil and Wolfe Oil) he has also focused Hudson Fuel Oil, Inc. on new industries like Agriculture, Commercial, Fleet Fueling, Municipalities, DEF, Lubricants, Tanks and Equipment. Pursuing an ever-expanding delivery area which now includes ten counties in Southwestern/Southern Ohio and 8 Counties in Northern Kentucky.
