    In this episode on SMB in the Trenches, I sit down with Dominick Tullo, a fourth-generation business owner running TNR Oil Company out of New Jersey, who's evolved his family's operation from ice and coal delivery to supplying diesel fuel and DEF to commercial truck fleets. We dive into the realities of family business dynamics, how he's using tech like tank monitors to undercut competitors, and why making money is the only way to earn respect in a multi-gen company.
