70 Years in the Making
Join us in celebrating 70 years in business at Highland Corporation. Highland was founded by E.M. Adcox in 1936 as Esso consignee and became Sinclair consignee in 1941. Succeeded by his son, J.M. Adcox, the agency became a wholly owned jobbership in 1967 and became a Texaco jobber in 1972. After the untimely death of J.M. Adcox in 1974, the company has been owned and managed by David and Connie Adcox. Highland opened its first "Fast Stop" market in 1987 in Dickson, Tennessee. Today Highland has expanded to serve over thirty (30) retail locations in addition to the eleven (11) Fast Stop markets it operates in west and middle Tennessee. Highland markets under the Shell, Texaco, and BP brands and has expanded its independent brands concept to Fast Fuel and Spirit branded dealers. Highland distributes petroleum products to thirteen (13) counties in Tennessee and operates six (6) Pacific Pride commercial fueling locations. Highland has expanded its commercial fueling card network to offer the "Fast Card" concept at selected branded retail stores. Fuel Transport, Inc. is a for-hire common carrier that operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Highland Corporation. Fuel Transport, Inc. hauls petroleum products and powdered cement as part of its tanker transportation business. Highland Corporation continues to operate with the same values that has guided it through seventy (70) years (Family, Integrity, Respect, Excellence, and Service). At Highland Corporation we firmly believe "Our People Fuel our Future".
