The cost of shipping freight in Alaska ranges between $2.80 and $3.10 per mile. It depends on various factors. For instance, the weather drastically influences shipment since it requires more caution and the collection of permits to traverse various routes at different times. Other factors determining the final freight quote include the fuel prices, freight class, and handling. For instance, LTL freight demands more handling because the drivers have to make regular stops.

THE PROCESS OF SHIPPING FREIGHT IN ALASKA STEP BY STEP
1. Prepare and Package Freight: Measure, weigh, and evaluate the goods you're shipping to determine the right packaging and transportation method. In addition, appropriate packaging (boxes, crates, pallets) should be used to protect the goods from damage during transit.

2. Choose a Freight Carrier: You should select a freight forwarder based on the freight type, budget, and needs. At Nationwide Transport Services, we offer free, accurate estimates and the best fully insured services to meet your requirements.

When you choose us, your shipment is handled by a dedicated expert, whom you can contact anytime for updates. They will coordinate everything on your behalf, including the trailer or truck to be used.
4. Transport the Freight: When the team arrives at the pick-up location, they must inspect your load and fill out a bill of lading form. They then load your shipment using the selected mode of transport before heading for the final location provided. The expert assigned to your shipment is always a call or text away to address any issues.
5. Delivery and Receipt: Upon arrival at the destination, the freight will be unloaded and delivered to the recipient or designated warehouse.
