| About the only ones that do it real regular are Lynden and Carlile but you have to go work for them then work your way up to those runs as there is a lot different rate for running the AlCan. |

Alaska Movers makes that run. They use drivers to do the run, and local crews for loading/unloading.

I feel like a local since I've spent more than 2/3 of March here :) |

| I work for Lynden and am looking for someone to run team with on a steady run that splits in Edmonton Canada with freight that goes on to Alaska. Occasionally the trucks have the chance to go on north but usually that is the turn around point. |

| Are you just doing that run on your own right now? Didn't know Lynden hired all the way out in WY. |

| Saw the ad in the paper a few weeks ago looking for team drivers at 60 cpm. What do they top out at? Is Carisle any better? |

I sure would love to make a run like that, in the summer of course :mrgreen:
I don't think my company will be heading up there anytime soon though. :x |
