Moving machinery in and out of 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. Machines leave Anchorage on Glenn Highway, Seward Highway and Parks Highway, and a load taller than 15 ft needs a DOT&PF permit for the exact route.
