Father and son Bruce and Jesse Ebbesen are proud to say “the boss still sits in the driver’s seat” at Turkey Ridge Oil, a bulk fuel delivery company servicing farmers from their Highway 18 location. “We sell personal service. You call, we haul. We don’t quit at 5 and we don’t go home until we’re done,” Bruce said.

Jesse’s role in the company started in his early teens. “He was raised on a farm and he knew how to drive so we put him on a truck,” Bruce said. Legally or otherwise, Jesse has been driving farm or fuel trucks since he was 13. After Bruce was burned badly in a work accident in 2016, Jesse stepped up to manage the company. Likewise, friends and neighbors pitched in to harvest their crops.

Bruce’s wife, Becky does the bookwork for Turkey Ridge Oil. Jesse’s wife, Allison, is a construction coordinator at Avera. The couple has two daughters, Blake and Nora.
