ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Afognak Commercial Group, LLC (ACG), a subsidiary of Afognak Native Corporation, has acquired a majority interest in the parent company of Weaver Bros., LLC; Doyle’s Fuel Service, LLC; and Doyle Transport LLC; an Alaska-based family of trucking, fuel, and logistics companies serving customers statewide. As a result of this investment, the parent company’s name will become Afognak-Weaver Logistics, LLC. Terms were not disclosed.
Founded in 1946 and owned by the Doyle family since 1978, Weaver Bros. provides heavy haul, fuel, and refined product transport, drayage, dry bulk, refrigerated, and specialized freight services to construction, energy, mining, retail, and government customers across Alaska. The companies will continue operating under their existing names, with James “Jimmy” Doyle remaining with the companies as President and with the same team serving customers and partners.
“Weaver Bros. has spent over 70 years earning its reputation as one of the most trusted names in Alaska freight, and that reputation belongs to the people who built it,” said Dan Corbett, CEO of Afognak Native Corporation. “We’re investing in a proven Alaska business, not changing it. This is long-term investment that strengthens our commercial portfolio and our foundation for Afognak Shareholders for generations to come.”
"My family has been proud to carry the Weaver Bros. name for nearly five decades, and I wanted its next chapter to be with an owner who is rooted in Alaska and here for the long haul," said Jimmy Doyle. "Afognak shares our commitment to safety, to our employees, and to the customers who count on us every day. Together, we're focused on growth, and I couldn’t be more excited about the future."
The investment expands Afognak’s presence in Alaska’s energy, infrastructure, and logistics sectors and advances Afognak’s strategy of growing its commercial business alongside its government services portfolio.
