Coffman Oil celebrates 50 years in business
By Chris Phipps
Tribune Staff Writer
On this day 50 years
ago,
Dallas
Coffman
incorporated Coffman Oil
Company in Morristown.
He took over what was
mostly a run down Amoco
warehouse and operated as
jobbers, which gave him
the right to pursue new
business.
While the beginning
years were slow, the
company grew over time to
become one of the biggest
fuel and oil distributors in
East Tennessee.
Today, Coffman Oil
Company continues to
be the product of Dallas’
dream with partner owners
Mitch Robinson, Joseph
Harper and Dallas’ daughter
Sandra K. Coffman Harper
at the helm.
President of the company
Mitch Robinson said the
milestone was special and
a cause for celebration.
“For any business to
see 50 years is no small
feat. It’s a testament to the
business and especially the
industry.
When the company
first began it had four
employees,
including
Dallas.
Back then oil came in
into the business, and Bull

Robinson said.
In the years between, the
company has seen many
changes and has gone
through the ebb and flow

had to be transported to the
warehouse.
Also, oil companies
operated as main suppliers
for service stations of tires,
batteries and all other
accessories that are now
found in auto parts stores.
Now, the company has
refined itself down to oil
and packaged and bulk
lubes.
Also over the years the
company has been able to
grow through purchasing

branches in Morristown
and

The
Knoxville branch is under
the name of Tri-County Oil
Services and serves as an

The Morristown branch is
the business’s headquarters,
serving primarily as a gas

Putting Down Roots
Robinson finds home in Morristown, Coffman Oil
By Chris Phipps
Tribune Staff Writer
Growing up right in the
middle of oil country in
Houston, Texas, Mitch
Robinson grew up to learn
a thing or two about the
industry.
Robinson never had any
idea that oil would play
such a huge factor in his
life, especially not leading
to becoming the president
of an oil company.
Robinson
could
be
considered somewhat of
a nomad, in his moving
around the country when
he spent the beginning
of his career working on
the retail side of oil and
“cutting his teeth” for 12
years.
During
that
time
Robinson and his family,
his wife, Tammy and their
children, Corbit and Lily,
moved to Morristown
while he worked as a retail
sales director for a local
oil provider.
While in Morristown
the Robinson family got
involved in the community
with Mitch even becoming
heavily involved in the
United Way of Hamblen
County.

another job but his work
in Morristown did not go
unnoticed.
Sandra and Joe Harper
needed someone to partner
with to buy Sandra’s
family business, Coffman
Oil Company, and they
could only think of one
man for the job.
Robinson was living in
Utah when he got the call
from his friend Joe back in
Morristown.
“I thought he just
wanted BYU tickets. But
they offered me to join
them in ownership and the
top spot in the company,”
Robinson said.
Having only been among
the sales side of the job,
Robinson said running
the company in the first
weeks was trial by error,
especially given that the
economy would burst just
months after his takeover.
Robinson’s perseverance
paid off, however, and the
company has increased in
business since his arrival.
“The company under
Mitch’s leadership has
the integrity and honesty
that my father would
be extremely proud of,”
Sandra said.
“Anyone would enjoy
the challenge of owning
and operating their own
business. I knew on the
personal end with having a
great relationship with Joe
and Sandy it would work
out,” Robinson said.
Robinson said being
the head of Coffman is
something he takes a lot of
pride in.

“It’s a great sense of
responsibility because the
man Dallas was, and I sit
at the same desk he did,
so I never walk in without
remembering the kind
of man he was and the
integrity he had for this
company,” Robinson said.
Robinson said he knew
his first time living in
Morristown was special,
which made it even easier
to come back.
“This is home. I’ve
always felt that way. I have
as many roots in this town
as most people. I try to be
a good steward and have
no ambition to move or be
anywhere else,” Robinson
said. “When I pass away
I want to be buried in
Morristown.”
When not at work, his
hobbies include reading,
being a steady reader of
classic literature, and a
recreational piano player.

From Staff Reports
Dallas C. Coffman’s
story is a true success story
of a realized American
Dream.
Born and raised in
Washburn as a typical
“good ole country boy,”
growing up with seven
siblings.
After finishing high
school, Coffman joined the
Air Force and served in the
Korean War.
When
he
returned,
Coffman used his G.I. Bill
to attend the University of
Tennessee in Knoxville
and studied transportation.
After graduating, Dallas
moved to Little Rock,
Arkansas where he began
training in the Mobil Oil
Company
Management
Trainee Program.
He started at the bottom
of the rungs, managing a
warehouse.
Coffman continued to
travel under the Mobil Oil
Company program, moving
to another operation in
New Orleans.
Coffman had the chance
to be transferred to the
company’s
headquarters
in Chicago, but he instead
decided to pursue his
own dream of owning a
business.
After returning to East
Tennessee,
Coffman
built his company in
Morristown,
beginning
with a small truck and a
small warehouse.
His office was in the back
of the warehouse beside the
building’s only bathroom.
The
business
grew
quickly, much to the
attributions of Coffman’s
work ethic and honest
nature.
Coffman enjoyed the
fruits of his labor by giving
back to the Morristown
community often.
He was a big benefactor
to All Saints’ Episcopal
School and also made
large donations to his alma
mater, UT, where he was
a member of the school’s
development board.
In 1995, Coffman was
honored by Gov. Don
Sundquist as a colonel aide
de camp. The following
year, he was diagnosed
with cancer.
Coffman
continued
to keep a firm hand on
his
business,
serving
as president and board
chairman until his death in
2002 at the age of 71.

“It’s all I’ve ever done,

From Staff Reports
As a young girl, Sandra
Coffman Harper would
ride in the tanker trucks
of her father’s business to
the terminals in Knoxville,
where her grandmother
would be waiting to pick
her up.
Nowadays, Harper are
making sure those tanker
trucks and the rest of
Coffman Oil company is
well maintained as the
corporation
secretary
in charge of repairs,
maintenance
and
environmental.
Before she took over the
family business, Harper
used some of her father’s
entrepreneurial influence
on herself, purchasing
a convenience store in
Morristown in 1978 and
running it for four years.
Ten years later she
would open Amacoland,
the first self-service gas
station in Morristown,
across from what is now
Tractor Supply, then built
and designed another store
on South Cumberland.
Before long she had
her own operation of
20
convenient
stores
throughout
East
Tennessee.
In 1993 Harper would
meet her future husband,
Joe, and the two began
working together and
running the stores.
When
her
father,
Dallas, received a cancer
diagnosis in 1996, she
began selling the stores
to different entities so she
could concentrate working
at Coffman Oil with her
brother Dean, who died
the next year.
After her father died, the
company was put up for
sale in the span of a few
years, which resulted in
Sandra and Joe partnering
with Mitch Robinson to
purchase the company.
“Joe and I hated to see the
company just disappear.
We were sitting around
and thinking, but we don’t
want to be president and
we were thinking who we
could get and Mitch was
the one name we thought
of,” Harper said.
In the last few years,
the Harpers and Robinson
have been able to see
Coffman Oil company
once again flourish.
For Harper, seeing the
company reach the 50-year
milestone is something
special and a testament to

“I’m really proud to
carry on the tradition and
see it do well. It’s sad my
brother isn’t here to be
part of it. I just try to do it
the way Dallas would have
done it,” Harper said.
Harper said she feels
the company is in good
hands under Robinson’s
leadership as she is eyeing
retirement in the next few
years.

Celebrating the milestone

“We sort of had a baptism

Joe Harper said when

it was right as the big

“We pulled ourselves

Mitch that we pulled through
that. The business wasn’t
in top form. Maintenance

“The company under

It was the same integrity
that led the Harpers to
pursue the partnership and
keep the company from
being sold elsewhere in
the year’s after Dallas
Coffman’s death.
“Buying the company

Jackson racks up more than a million miles driving for Coffman
From Staff Reports
Don “Stoney” Jackson was one
of the first drivers for Coffman Oil
Company when it was started.
Jackson, pictured third from right
below, was a farmer before he talked
with a friend who did construction
on Coffman Oil’s new office and
encouraged him to go try for a job.
He convinced Dallas Coffman to let
him drive a truck for him and since
Dallas at the time was driving, he
obliged.
The truck Dallas gave Stoney was
so old and in such bad condition, he
would have his friend Jimmy, who
owned a wrecker service, follow him
to Knoxville to the oil distributors in
case he broke down.
Jackson’s wife, Priscilla, described
him as a rolling bomb coming down
the road, with 8,000 gallons of
explosive fuel on a typical tanker
truck.
Jackson was the only driver that
Coffman let lease and drive his own
truck. In his 40 years of driving,
Stoney accumulated 1,264,000 miles
on his own truck.
Luckily, he never experienced an
accident but had some friends in
serious ones.
“Dallas was one of the kindest men
ever encountered, a great cook, a kind
and considerate man. You won’t run
into many people that won’t say the
exact same thing,” he said.
Dallas once told Jackson he could
haul more gas than anyone he had ever
seen. Stoney would drive in rain and
snow more than what other haulers
were willing to do.
“We shared a mutual respect,”
Jackson said of Dallas Coffman.
Jackson said he remembers driving
in the 1970s when there was a national
fuel shortage; Coffman had more oil
than anyone else around. Stoney said
he had to drive to Nashville to the air
base there to deliver fuel for UPS.
Even when dropping off to
convenience stores, people would
follow his truck and have a line waiting
at the stations once he got there.
“It was like I was leading a parade,”
he said.
Jackson noted after 9/11 a lot of
changes were made for fuel haulers.
“Now you have to be finger printed
and background checked to get the
job,” Jackson said.
“I always said my ideal job would
be to run fuel for Coffman and I got
to do that and I enjoyed the work,” he
said.

Ballard:
Coffman Oil is a
huge American
success story
From Staff Reports
Jerry Ballard was one of the first people to interact
with Dallas Coffman when he started Coffman Oil
Company in 1964.
Ballard was a representative for Amoco Oil when
the Dallas Coffman purchased the former Amoco
facility in Morristown and took a job with Amoco to
gain control and own the company.
“First I want to congratulate all employees upon
the 50th anniversary at Coffman Oil. I wish them
continued success,” Ballard said.
Ballard said it’s hard to realize it’s been 50 years
since Coffman Oil was founded in Morristown.
It started as a much neglected and obsolete
organization of an oil company, which was doing the
volume about what one convenience store would do
today, Ballard said.

Ballard said he saw Dallas work both night and

Ballard said he immediately formed a friendship
