Reefer Trucking in Alaska
Alaska trucking is a separate road network from the Lower 48: Anchorage and Fairbanks are linked by the Parks Highway, and North Slope oilfield freight moves on the Dalton Highway (Haul Road), not on Pacific-coast interstates. Reefer demand in Alaska is high, with temperature-controlled freight shaped by the state's own food, ag, and grocery distribution patterns.
