We are loading some slot machines from Vegas going to Michigan. Enroute to Michigan we are swapping trailers with another driver that doesn’t go to Canada. This load has to be in Fairbanks, AK around July 1st.
We are so looking forward to this. After we cross into Canada, cell phone use will be at a minimum (roaming!) and since it’s furniture, it should be fairly light so we can get decent fuel mileage.
The company bid this trip from Detroit (where it’s being loaded) to Fairbanks to Seattle. Just in case there’s no freight leaving Alaska and we have to drive back to the States empty. Our office has already started looking for freight, so anything would be gravy on top of what we already have, but we wouldn’t be terribly opposed to hanging out for a few days if we had to wait for some freight.
I’ve always wanted to drive the famous ALCAN highway from the first time I heard of it. Long before I started driving a truck. A long time ago I flew to Anchorage and rented an RV for a few days, then cruised down the Inside Passage. An incredible trip. Alaska is truly the last frontier.
Standby for a bunch of pictures!!!
Wow! That is way cool! I’m so excited for you guys and can’t wait to find out how your journey goes…Have fun,
Love,
Amy and family
