    It looks like Hess is being sold out at all their downstream operations. Where are the drivers going?

    There's a Hess terminal in Charleston,S.C they phase out all trucks and about 15 drivers---retirement or let go--just kept about 6 personnel to work the terminal. The terminal is for sale or sold, also there service stations are for sell up and down the east coast. The have shut down there refinery in the Caribbean.

    Hess has a terminal in Jacksonville, FL and another in Orlando that I know of off the top of my head. There are a few stations around town here (Jacksonville). Gas Hauler, do you know who is buying them? This is the first I've heard of it...

    Buckeye Partners LP bought 20 terminals for 850 million. Hess was mostly upper east coast. I never worked for them but I do know they were a big company a the few drivers that I did talk to from there liked their job. It just seems to be a trend that the majors are selling off and letting the common carrier take their loads. A few did this years ago and after awhile found it was cheaper to have their own fleet. I would say it will a long time to go back to their own if they do. Again some young college book smart kids thought it would be smart to make the change. Time will only tell and it's unfortunate for the driver that was just starting out making a future.
