The main population centers in Alaska are in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Kenai and are linked by both highway and the Alaska Railroad. American Fast Freight has their own terminals and personnel in each of these cities. This allows us to provide timely deliveries throughout the major population centers. Most cargo destined to this area enters via steamships through the port of Anchorage. Each of the lines serving Alaska has two departures every week from Seattle-Tacoma.
Transit time is three days.
To other areas of Alaska, there is also barge service, with variable schedules throughout the year. Transit times vary by route between 10 and 21 days and many are seasonal. American Fast Freight also has terminals in Seattle, Los Angeles and Chicago as well as affiliates in Newark, Jacksonville and Miami. Through these offices we can provide the necessary truck and rail connections on a schedule designed to coincide with the vessel departures for Seattle. The cities of Juneau and Ketchikan are also large population areas, but are located in a group of islands.
