    i see quite a few $2 a mile ftl going to alaska from around here on the internet truck stop. For that kinda money, might as well stay home and do that unibilt conversion onesself!

    I've never paid attention to it but thought it would be pretty high going to Alaska. From Alaska to the lower 48 I would expect to be cheap to non-existent. Shows what I know I guess.

    I’m on the same page.
    To me, you couldn’t pay me enough to truck that far. As a kid, my grandmother sold her house and took my family on a cruise to Alaska. It was a great experience. I sure wouldn’t ever want to try and drive there. Matter of fact
