Your fuel isn’t.
Half your fuel is already bought. You still need 50 gallons on the road.

Illustrative load at 6 MPG. Other trip costs: $950. Half the fuel is bought at $4.055/gal and half at $5.25/gal. These U.S. diesel observations from February 21 and March 14, 2022 are compressed into an example trip. EIA price history ↗
Sample protection covers only the fuel still to buy. It costs 2¢/gal upfront and pays any rise in the published diesel price above 15¢/gal, with no payout cap, after the trip. This is a hypothetical trip contract, distinct from the longer window-average demo.
Diesel hedging for small fleets and owner-operators
Protection for the diesel you haven’t bought yet, without a brokerage account. Here is what owner-operators ask most.
Do I need a margin account or a cash deposit?
No. Hedging diesel with futures means opening a brokerage account, posting margin and meeting margin calls when prices move. Hedjee protection is one fee paid upfront. There is no margin account, no cash deposit and nothing more to pay later.
How does the payment work?
You choose the gallons and the months. If the published diesel price for those months averages above your protected price, Hedjee pays you the difference on every protected gallon, in one payment after month-end. If diesel doesn’t jump, the fee is all you’ve spent.
What should I bring to a meeting?
Roughly how many gallons you buy a month and which loads pay a fixed rate. That’s enough for us to show you what protection would cost and what it would have paid in the last spike.
