Do the Right Thing (Even When It’s the Long Way Around)
In this installment of APD’s guiding principles, we’re diving into the value we like to call “Doing the Right Thing”—because we’d rather be known for keeping our word than cutting corners.
Operating ethically isn’t just something we toss on a poster—it’s our promise to Fairbanks and its future. Every call we make, every route we plan, every tank we fill—it’s all done with care, because we live here too. And if we wouldn't cut corners for ourselves, we sure as heck won't for you.
High Standards by Design—Because Alaska Doesn’t Do “Easy”
Shortcuts aren’t our style—especially when we’re hauling hazardous materials through Mother Nature’s most dramatic tantrums. That’s why we don’t mess around with safety or quality—even if it takes longer, costs more, or involves more layers of wool.
We’ve been at this for over 40 years, and we’ve learned that planning ahead saves everyone headaches. This is why we maintain multiple supply relationships to ensure our customers have access to heating oil when the weather demands it.
This means your fuel delivery is packed with peace of mind—because we’re in the business of doing things the right way, not the fast-and-loose way.
Fuel Service That’s Got Your Back (Like Your Favorite Flannel)
We’re based in Fairbanks, but we reach far and wide across the Alaska Road system—and we’re your neighbors, not just some company in branded jackets. Our drivers know the difference between “just fine” and “uh-oh,” and they’ll let you know if something looks fishy—like a rusting tank or a weird fuel drip—before it becomes a big deal.
When you pick up the phone, a real, live human answers. Someone who’s actually experienced an Alaskan winter and understands what it takes to keep things running when it’s 20 below.
When you work with APD you get service from a local team that gets it—because we treat you like we’d want to be treated.
Built for the Bumps in the Road, Literally and Figuratively
Let’s face it: things go wrong, and the unexpected happens. And when it does, we make it right, fast. No excuses—just a plan and a whole lot of hustle.
We’ve Got You
Doing the right thing isn’t just about business—it’s about being a good neighbor. No matter what gets thrown at us—weather, mechanical hiccups, or full-on fuel emergencies—we’re here to keep things flowing and homes warm.
