Running produce to Alaska

Lynden Transport

They have terminals in Calgary and Edmonton. I had some discussions a few years ago about putting a truck or two on, but I went a different direction.

 

Thanks not4hire. Can't find anything on their site about Calgary but I've got a few other things thst may come up anyway.

 

Have to check them out. Grandparents didn't own the gas station, they owned what is now the bank. Was The Totem Pole.

 

I ran some b-train flatbed loads out of WY to Anchorage and Fairbanks a few years ago and Teslin was one of my favorite stops. Nice people up north, but it's quite expensive. Be aware, people, that most of the freight to Alaska is flatbed stuff. It can pay A LOT, but there isn't always a load coming back. Once I had to come all the way back to Montana to find a load, once I got a load out of Alberta. Once I came back to Ft St John and got a load back to Fairbanks, then bounced back to the US. It's a great experience by anybody's standards, and it can even turn into an adventure. You can drive for hours without seeing any other vehicles, just bears and caribou. Also, repair facilities are very few and very far between. Put on your big girl panties and go, you will never regret it.

 

I think I passed you today south of Prince George?

 

I was heading south. I didn't know if you had a VHF so I didn't bother calling out. But then thought about it after that most of you guys do have one lol. Sharp looking truck. Do you know What happened to that fairchild trailer west of Prince George?

 

Yikes very lucky indeed. Glad to hear no one was killed in that crash.
