NW Companies that run the Alaskan Highway & Canada?
I'm ready to send out apps. Finally got all my endorsements added and the time is right.
I live in the NW and am looking to get with a company that does, Heavy Haul, The Alaskan Highway and any other Canada locations. I want the ability to gain some serious winter experience.
I'm not opposed to being sent across the states and I'm primarily interested in doing flatbed work.
I'm wanting to make the jump from a local driver to OTR. Anderson Truck Service is not interested due to my lack of OTR experience. They are the only company I've chatted with.
Any Advice?
Thanks.

I see them often in Seattle, never seen anything but a daycab. Been meaning to chat with them.
Thanks

System Transport out of Spokane has a heavy haul division.
I do NW regional and spend more time in Canada than the states.
I'm not sure what routes the heavy haul guys do, though.

Also look into Sherman Bro's they haul up there all the time. After you get your feet wet and get some good experience, there are other companies out there

As some pointed out, Lynden has an OTR division, they run through Colo. all the time, used to have a terminal here as well. Talked to a driver a few years back, a lot of Houston to Fairbanks work they were doing at the time.
