Alaska Heavy Equipment Transport Company

In total, there are four major Heavy Equipment Transport tractor trailer routes that our drivers use to transport semi trucks through Alaska.

A-1

A-2

A-3

A-4

More commonly, the roads are named after their destinations, e.g., they may be referred to as the Glenn, Richardson, Tok Cut-Off, or Alaska Highway. For example, the A-3 is more commonly known as Seward or Sterling Highway, while the A-4 is referred to as the Parks Highway.

The Alaska Highway is the main route connecting the United States to Alaska through Canada. The highway begins at a significant juncture in Dawson's Creek, B.C., and ends in Delta Junction. After crossing the Yukon-BC border, the road continues north-northwesterly to its final terminus at Delta Junction, passing east of Fairbanks.

The A-4 highway runs parallel to the Alaska Railroad and is one of the most important routes through the state because it's the primary connection between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Two sections of this road are built to freeway standards: a portion near its intersection with Glenn Highway in Palmer, and the Robert J. Mitchell Expressway in Fairbanks that leads to the Richardson Highway. Call today! (888) 730-2951.

Alaska is the largest state in the United States, with an area more prominent than the total area of the three following states. Initially, the Russians ruled Alaska, who later sold it to the Americans for difficulty in its management in 1867. In 1912, it was organized as a territory and later admitted as the 49th United States in 1959. The significant economic contributors to its economy today are fishing, oil, natural gas, the United States Armed Forces, and tourism. Tourism is expected as more than half of the state comprises national parks, national forests, and wildlife refuges on federally owned public land.

Alaska has untampered scenic beauty. Cruising in ships is not an experience enough before experiencing the mega glaciers. The wildlife in Alaska is unique; get to see various types of whales, bald eagles, mountain sheep, wolves, caribou, moose, and bears. Enjoy the state's rich culture and history in museums such as the Alaska State Museum and learn more about the gold rush history at the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. The best part about Alaska is meeting its natives, who are very cordial, and the local cuisine. Remember, Juneau, the state’s capital, featured on Bravo TV’s Top Chef.
