We operate between the lower 48 and Alaska. Direct service to all points in Alaska and western Canada. Alaska highway is our main route. We will also go to Prudhoe Bay as we have haul road experience. Ocean shipping available as well. Full loads or LTL shipments accepted , all trailer types available. We have storage vans for sale that will D.O.T. and will be capable of making the trip, and we also have 20 foot and 40 foot containers available. We transport both ways, to and from Alaska. We have a shop in Fairbanks with a loading dock and storage capabilities. We also have storage and loading capabilities in Minnesota as well. My equipment is geared up to run Alaska summer and winter. We have a lot of Alaska experience and have been on the Ice Road Truckers television program. Oversize loads are no problem. Other than one scam artist that was already commiting welfare fraud and told my son and I she was going to commit insurance fraud our reviews are perfect. Thanks, Tim Freeman

No Detailed Feedback Available Where do I begin well I guess I can start by saying that this was the WORST service I have ever experienced, aparently in an inclosed semi my car substained "minor damage", after having my insurance company look at the car i had 3,200 dollars worth of damage on my car,they hit something with my car. Also the communication was horrible, Tim was always so quick to get me off of the phone and also tried charging me more than what he bidded on.
Response from alaskabound:
Sarah neglects to mention that she was happy with the settlement I made fot the damage on her car when I delivered it. I had an estimate of around 500.00 to repair the bumper, but there was also some scratches we found after it was unloaded so it may have been more like 1,000.00 to repair it. I gave her 1400.00 off and she told me she was going to tell her insurance company it got hit in a parking lot. Also she had way more things to ship, that was why I was going to charge more. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

I had to make 3 trips to get the boat, not by any fault of the shipper. The place that had his boat was so horrible to deal with that I felt sorry for Brian so we went back and got it the third time. They damaged his boat and didnt seem to care. It was full of ice and snow, was supposed to be shrink wrapped again Brian didnt get what he paid for. Even with all the garbage we went through, he kept his cool and was great to deal with. I would do business with him again anytime.

Stefanie was very pleasant to deal with. I picked up the bike in Idaho on my way to Minnesota for Christmas so I had it for an extra couple of weeks. She was very patient and told me not to worry about it as long as it was there by spring. I would not hesitate to move freight for her anytime.

No Detailed Feedback Available A scheduling conflict arose that could not be resolved Life intrudes. A funeral and other scheduling conflicts on the part of the service provider meant that we couldn't find a good time to complete the transaction. He's a GREAT GUY and tried really hard to find a way to make this work, but things just worked out that he couldn't be here by our deadline, so we agreed on the phone to cancel. Wish it had worked out, though, because it sounded like the service we were GOING to get was going to be fabulous!
