Why Alaska for Intermodal Operations
Mountain West dry van operations face unique challenges from long distances between freight hubs and high deadhead percentages. Denver and Salt Lake City are the primary load origins, with Phoenix adding significant volume in the south. Carriers who can secure round-trip freight between these hubs perform well, but one-way loads into rural areas often require repositioning. The I-70 and I-80 corridors are critical arteries.
Alaska Advantages
- Extremely high per-mile rates due to limited carrier pool
- Oil field loads on Dalton Highway pay $5+/mile
- Military base supply contracts provide year-round freight
- No state income tax on earnings
