Speedway suspended its toy truck program in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was discontinued altogether when 7-Eleven acquired Speedway in 2021. Since 2015, the Hess Toy Trucks have been made available for sale through their online website, while Speedway itself began to sell toy trucks at all of their locations at the same time, including at legacy location in the Midwestern United States that were never part of Hess Corporation. The toy truck business continued after the sale of Hess' retail unit to Speedway. The 2014 model was the final Hess Truck to be sold at their gas stations before transitioning to Speedway. The first tanker truck sold for $1.39 in 1964 and is now worth nearly $2,500. In 1964, the Hess Company began making small replicas of their trucks to give to customers. Their older toys are considered collectibles. The company has sold toys for over 50 years and since 1964, Hess gas stations have sold toy trucks each year around Christmas time.

The company manufactures toy trucks, helicopters, police cars, airplanes, space shuttles, and rescue vehicles. Hess Toys are toys produced by the American energy company Hess Corporation.
