From Our Family to Yours:
In 1955, Bruce and Sara Whatley started this company with a simple mission: serve people well, treat them fairly, and give more than you take. They believed in looking folks in the eye, keeping their word, and building something that would last.
Three generations later, we’re proud to carry that mission forward.
Bruce and Sara’s sons, Greg and Steve, spent their lives growing the company and deepening its roots in the communities we serve. Today, the next generation continues that work. Including their grandson, Slaton, who grew up around this business, learning not just how it runs, but why it matters.
As a family business, we’ve grown alongside the communities we serve. Many of our customers aren’t just names on invoices, they’re neighbors, friends, and familiar faces we see at ballfields, church, and the grocery store. These relationships, built over decades, are at the heart of what we do.
We’ve always believed that how you do business matters. Generosity, fairness, and care aren’t just nice words. They're the foundation this company was built on. Whether we’re delivering fuel to a construction site or helping a new store owner get started, we try to approach every customer with the same spirit our founders had when they opened the doors.
Our goal isn’t short-term gain, it’s long-term trust. We’re building a company that will still be here for the next generation and the one after that. One that can proudly say it made it to 100 years, not by cutting corners, but by doing right by people.
Thanks for being part of our story.
— The Whatley Family
Fueled by Service. Driven by South Georgia And Alabama.
Since day one, Whatley Oil has built its reputation on trust, reliability, and service that shows up on time. From farm roads to job sites, our story is rooted in serving the people who keep this region working.
A Local Name Backed by 70 Years of Hard Work
Whatley Oil was founded in 1955 by Bruce and Sara Whatley with a single fuel truck and a commitment to do the job right.
That hasn’t changed. Today, we serve customers across South Georgia and eastern Alabama with diesel delivery, fleet fueling, and industrial lubricants. Our loyal customers trust us for responsive service and long-standing relationships.
