    Do you load out of Alaska too or is that just a sometimes thing? Considering you have steady business going there. Wonder if you've managed to put it together both ways.

    40,000 dollars and up and this old man might think about going. Make something on the way up and possibly have something left to get back home two months later.

    If they ever go that large bridge across the Bering to Russia Federation, Direct hauls to europe becomes a possibility at 150,000 and up.

    There is no truck made today on the road that I would choose for Alaska. I will have to go back about 20 years or so and then really bulk em up increasing the gross weights and add on a variety of things before I consider it ready for battle up there.

    If that question was for me. I do have my own customer in Alaska that I haul to Washington for. I have not had an empty return in over a year.

    Sure no problem. We spend years, even decades building up a customer base. Of course we are willing to hand over those contacts on an internet forum for free.

    Lol wow never said I expect anything for free, or expect you to give info on who you are pulling for. Just asking for advice on where to start looking or who to stay away from. I have spent years hauling cattle out of Canada and now I am just looking for a change.
