Carrying on a company commitment to Alaska

he Alaska Highway has been dramatically improved over the years. Winding sections have been straightened, treacherous hills leveled and hundreds of miles of gravel paved. Yet, in ways, it remains much as it once was, a challenging roadway toward a land of midnight sun.

The Lynden companies, too, have grown and changed dramatically from the days when northbound Lynden Transfer drivers heated their soup on truck manifolds and replaced as many as 28 flat tires on a single trip.

Today, the Lynden family of companies provides modern transportation services via land, sea and air, moving freight to and from Alaska and Western Canada. Several subsidiaries provide expertise in logistics and remote site construction for customers throughout Alaska, the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada.

Although Lynden has expanded and diversified over the years, its commitment to Alaska has remained a company touchstone.

Lynden Transport trucks still roll over the Alaska Highway, and, along with Canadian Lynden Transport, continue to serve the oil industry and other Alaska customers.

Alaska West Express specializes in hauling bulk commodities, while Knik Construction builds roads and remote air strips in a state that boasts nearly as many pilots as drivers.

This same commitment is shared by the people of Alaska Marine Lines and Lynden Air Freight as they work to meet the needs of Alaska's citizens and businesses.
