Trip Dallas, TX to Anchorage, AK

Does your insurance allow you to go to Alaska? Not many do. Did you do a filing with ICBC for BC to have insurance?
Do you have Canadian customs bond and in transit paperwork? If not you will have a nice surprise at the border.
BC and Alberta are part of IFTA and IRP.
In the Yukon you will have to buy fuel and trip permit at Watson Lake scale. If closed they will get you in Whitehorse.
Alaska will give you a level 1 when you get to Tok and sell you the permits for truck and trailer.

 

Good idea to be doing your repairs before you get into the thick of it and also to prepare for the Level 1 inspection in Tok.

I like the Walmart in Casper. Difficult getting in, unless you know that driving right in front of Sam's Club is the best way in or out.

 

I almost got a team load to Newfoundland from OKC this afternoon. It includes a ferry ride to the island (billed to customer). The load fell through.

By comparison to OP's run from Dallas to Anchorage, about 3,885 miles, the run from OKC to Newfoundland is about 2,756 miles. His pay is about $10K and we bid $25K for a Hazmat load. Sorry to see that load get away.

 

Good luck and happy trails.
They may shoot ya, but they won't eat ya.
Sounds like a really good road trip.

 

Hope you take some pictures!!!!

 

I'm holding out hope that OP pulls off a minor miracle and gets a backhaul.

 

I forgot about the "In Transit" form A8B A8B – United States – Canada Transit Manifest

Good luck with the Canadian insurance and all the other stuff that I take for granted because the company I'm leased to takes care of all that. I'd be real interested to hear about your experience (easy/hard/impossible/time required.)

 

If he went up there all the time I would worry more about the backhaul (obviously it would be nice to have) but once every couple of years isn't going to break most banks.
