Arrowhead Transfer, LP Gas
1517 Sawmill Creek Road, Sitka, United States

In 1966, Arrowhead Transfer, Inc. began its operation as a local trucking company offering pick up and delivery to and from the AK Steamship every other week along with gravel moving. In 1967, the company began to offer regular barge service to and from Japonski Island. Household moving services were an addition in 1968 as the company steadily expanded. Arrowhead Transfer became an agent of Foss Alaska Line, a tug and barge company, in 1970, unloading and delivering freight from the barge. The O’Connell Bridge was completed in 1972, creating access to Japonski Island by road. Lynden Inc. purchased Foss Alaska Line in 1985 and it became known as Alaska Marine Lines. Over the years Arrowhead Transfer, Inc. has become well known throughout southeast Alaska as the local agent for Alaska Marine Lines barge service and Lynden Transport water service, as well as the experts in moving household goods, providing warehousing, and performing local hauling services.  In 1993, Arrowhead Transfer, Inc. purchased Etolin Enterprises in Wrangell and Island Propane in Craig, forming the subsidiary of Arrowhead LP Gas. With its trucking background, Arrowhead LP Gas was well positioned to provide reliable transportation of propane throughout southeast Alaska. Existing employees were trained and several seasoned propane professionals were hired to benefit new propane customers. Additional locations were added at Petersburg in 1994, Kake in 1995, Juneau in 1996, Ketchikan in 2000, and Sitka in 2009.  Arrowhead Transfer, Inc. is proud of its long-term, regionally owned and operated status. It’s employees are an integral part of the local community, volunteering with local fire departments, sports teams, non-profit organizations and many other worthwhile projects. Arrowhead looks forward to serving the great people of southeast Alaska for many years to come.

Keepfull Program

We monitor your tank level for you. We vary deliveries based on your consumption pattern and how it relates to changes in the weather. So if you heat with gas, you will notice our delivery truck showing up at your house much more often in the winter than in the summer. We have a target delivery amount for each tank (usually about 70 gallons in a 100 gallon tank) that allows us to make our delivery operation as cost-effective as possible, while still maintaining a comfortable level of fuel for your location.  You may be uncomfortable with us setting your delivery schedule – not knowing when the bills will arrive. If so, we’ve got the ideal solution – our Budget Payment Plan allows you to make a set payment amount each month, so that you don’t have any surprises.  Once you sign up for our keepfull services, we ask that you notify us of any changes to your consumption – such as adding or changing the type of gas appliances you use, adding company or more people to your residence, water leaks affecting your hot water usage, etc.  The more we understand about your usage, the more accurately and efficiently we can serve you.  If, for any reason, you should run out of fuel while on our keepfull program, you are promised immediate delivery. Call your local office, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the office is closed you will be given an emergency contact phone number to use.  Be sure to contact us when you know you’ll be moving, so that we can cancel your keepfull service. You don’t want to pay for gas you don’t need.
