What happens when a war halfway around the world sends fuel markets into complete chaos?

In this episode of Jobbers: American Energy, Jason Case sits down with Caitlin Scherr, ROC's Director of Fuel Supply Chain, to break down the real-world impact of the Iran conflict on fuel prices, supply chains, and fuel distribution across the western United States.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in fuel procurement, inventory management, pricing, and supply logistics, Caitlin provides a week-by-week account of one of the most volatile fuel markets in recent memory. From overnight price swings and margin calls to customer impacts and supply disruptions, the conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at what happens when global events collide with local fuel markets.

The episode explores how military actions in the Middle East created immediate shockwaves across wholesale fuel markets, forcing companies to adjust prices multiple times per day while managing inventory, cash flow, and customer expectations. It also highlights the challenges fuel marketers face when volatility moves faster than supply chains can react.

Finally, the discussion looks ahead at what comes next for fuel markets, refinery infrastructure, global shipping routes, and the long-term outlook for diesel and gasoline pricing.

If you want a real-world look at how international conflict impacts fuel supply, pricing, and the businesses that keep America moving, this is the conversation.
