Price protectionshouldn’t depend on your size.
Every price spike pushes some small businesses out, and bigger ones take their place. We want businesses to win by being good at what they do, not by being big enough to ride out a spike.
Who gets price protection
Our mission
Big companies get banks to protect them from price spikes. Small businesses get nothing. That’s the gap we exist to close.

Why we exist
Small fleets run the economy.
They aren’t worse at the job. They just can’t ride out a diesel spike the way big companies can.
- Bigger fleets
- Margins up
- Smaller fleets
- Margins down

Why now
It’s getting worse. AI makes the fix affordable.
Each big diesel spike swings harder than the last.
Size of one protection deal
A standard contract is more diesel than a truck burns in a year (CME). AI now does the setup, so Hedjee protects exactly the gallons you need.Running AI got more than 280 times cheaper in two years, for a model at GPT-3.5’s level (Stanford AI Index 2025). Hedjee uses it to set up each fleet’s protection, so one truck is worth doing.
