WILBUR, WA

At our energy yard in Wilbur, Washington, along Highway 2, we’ve made some major improvements to better serve the community and operate more efficiently.

We also added a modern, safe fuel loading system and introduced a 6,500-gallon tank wagon—perfect for covering the wide geography of the area. This setup allows us to make deliveries faster and with fewer trips, improving efficiency while meeting Washington’s environmental standards. We’re proud of the investment and the difference it’s making.
