Why Alaska for Tanker Operations
Mountain West tanker freight includes petroleum distribution to rural areas, mining chemicals for the region's extraction industry, and crude oil transport from Wyoming and Montana fields. The long distances between fuel terminals and delivery points translate to higher per-mile rates. Water hauling for mining and energy operations is a growing niche. Winter fuel demand in mountain communities creates seasonal rate increases.
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
