How freight moves through Anchorage
Anchorage is Alaska's largest city and its freight gateway: the Port of Alaska handles about half of the state's inbound cargo, and the state's main rail line, the Glenn, Seward and Parks highways and Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport all converge here. Freight trucks serve Anchorage on Glenn Highway, Seward Highway and Parks Highway. Most of what ships from here comes from port and air cargo, oil and gas support, construction and heavy equipment and military and federal facilities.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Alaska
- Seasonal conditions
Spring breakup brings seasonal weight restrictions that usually run from mid to late March through late June in Interior Alaska, can cut allowable gross weight by as much as 50 percent for vehicles over 10,000 pounds, and may apply to all state routes, including the Dalton Highway.
The state transportation department tells permitted carriers to check the 511 road conditions service before moving a load.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
