Running produce to Alaska

Dual temps are nice , but often have alarm codes way more often .. Also they burn fuel at a heavier rate unless you absolutely need one and have good repair shop . You may add extra stress on yourself

 

Dirty or clean, she looks good !!!
I have always liked the Western Star's look, too bad the Western Star dealer in Toronto had a stupid shop foreman, that is why they lost me as a customer when they where so close to selling me a brand new Western Star in 2007.

 

Since we are posting dirty truck pics....lol

 

Nice truck always been a fan of T800!!!

 

Just read the whole thread in a couple hours, love it! Lived in Anchorage for six months, back in Calgary now. Been running a lot of BC, Ab, Sk. Hey if you ever stop in Teslin, Yukon, my grandparents used to own the store there! And my aunt lives and works at the Rancheria at mile 710. Always wanted to run that way but living in Alberta I'm not sure theres a lot of freight going that direction from here.

Keep up the good work! Keep er between the lines

 

The sleeper is a 128" ari sleeper and the truck wheelbase is 280" With my flatbed trailer I am 74'6" long, can't be over 75ft and get a truck over length permit for BC. I never weighed bobtail but Truck and Trailer weight is 40,500 lbs.

 

Yup, Teslin is a must stop for me coming and going! Great food there and can get showers if you need to.

 

If you were to build a truck, what extras would you spec on the truck to handle the low temperatures running to Alaska? My truck has the "Arctic Package" but that is basically fuel heaters and all airline plumbing is the old style rubber/steel braided lines.
