You realize that the vast majority of freight headed to Alaska is on barge or ship don't you?
Crowley Marine, Foss Marine, and Lynden Transport all run barges daily out of Seattle and Portland, for Alaska. Totem Ocean Express runs ships every other day out of Tacoma WA, Portland OR, Oakland CA, Los Angeles/Long Beach, and Honolulu HI. Honolulu Freight also runs ships every other day, out of Los Angeles, Honolulu, and Portland.
The bulk of refer work travels on Totem Ocean, from Tacoma and Oakland. Pull the trailers onto the ship, secure them...pull them off the ship on arrival. About 800 refers per trip.
If you want to work the Alaska route...get your merchant seaman's badge, and work at any of those I mentioned.
Of course...I might be wrong.
