About Lynden: Shipping to Alaska and Worldwide
Lynden is a family of transportation and logistics companies built around a common goal – to develop long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our clients. While some Lynden companies call the Pacific Northwest and Alaska home, the reach of our services extends around the globe.
Hank Jansen founded the first Lynden company, Lynden Transport, in 1947 with a clear mission: put the customer first, deliver quality, be the best and have fun doing it. Lynden Transport pioneered trucking to Alaska via the Alcan highway. Today, instead of just shipping to Alaska, Lynden has grown to 17 companies and serves the world via land, sea and air. But our mission remains the same. We believe that complex transportation problems can be solved in the hands of the right people, with the right tools and the right experience.
Lynden has built a reputation of superior service to diverse industries including oil and gas, mining, construction, retail and manufacturing. The combined capabilities of the Lynden companies includes truckload and less-than-truckload transportation, scheduled and charter barges, rail barges, intermodal bulk chemical hauls, scheduled and chartered air freighters, domestic and international air forwarding, international ocean forwarding, customs brokerage, trade show shipping, remote site construction, sanitary bulk commodities hauling, and multi-modal logistics. Our service to, from and within Alaska is unrivaled. We have been shipping to Alaska for more than 50 years and have the most extensive network of transportation centers. We also operate in the challenging environments of Western Canada, Russia...we go wherever and whenever customers need us.
Lynden offers customers sophisticated technologies, including a variety of e-commerce services, to capture data and translate it into information that helps with every aspect of your freight and logistics. EZ Shipping lets you book shipments on line, including the printing of forms and labels. EZ Tracing provides the visibility you need from origin to destination with the ability to view signed delivery receipts and other documentation.

If you are sending freight to Alaska, for instance, EZ Invoicing sends you email notification that your latest invoices are ready in PDF format.
