Established in 2013 as an independent transport company, American Oil embodies a legacy of expertise and dedication to excellence. Our journey began with the vision of Bryan Clemons, a seasoned industry professional with a profound commitment to delivering quality service.
Bryan's journey in the oil industry traces back to 1975, when he honed his skills in tank calibration with East West Lines. His passion for the trade led him to embark on a career as a fuel delivery driver for Arco, where he spent eight years refining his craft. In 1997, he transitioned to become an owner-operator, acquiring his first truck and trailer. Over the next three years, Bryan specialized in hauling corrosives and government defense fuels, laying the foundation for his future endeavors.
In 2003, Bryan joined South West Trails, expanding his fleet with a second truck and trailer. During his 11-year tenure, he partnered with esteemed petroleum companies such as Pinnacle Petroleum, Boyett, SC Fuels, IPC, Merrimac Energy, and Falcon Fuels, solidifying his reputation for reliability and professionalism.
Driven by a spirit of innovation and fueled by a shared family vision, American Oil ventured into new horizons within the petroleum industry. Collaborating with his dedicated team, Bryan's children, the company diversified its portfolio, venturing into wholesaling petroleum products and independent gas stations.
In 2017, American Oil achieved a significant milestone with the acquisition of its first retail gas station in Long Beach, California. Renowned for offering the lowest fuel prices in the city, unparalleled customer service, and superior-quality fuel on par with industry majors, the station quickly became a cornerstone of our success.
Today, as a proudly family-owned enterprise, American Oil aspires to stand among the leading oil companies in the nation. Our commitment to excellence, integrity, and community engagement drives us forward as we continue to innovate and serve our customers with passion and dedication.
Join us on our journey as we redefine excellence in the oil industry, one gallon at a time. Because, at American Oil, Every Cent Matters.
