Big enough to do the job, small enough to care
Sourdough has never had the intent of being the largest trucking company in Alaska. We have always been under the perception that if we take care of our greatest assets–our customers–the rest of our business plans would fall into place.
Our job is simple: we are here to provide reliable, safe service. It’s a century-old philosophy that will enable us to serve our customers for another 100 years.
For 118 years, Sourdough Express has been meeting Alaska’s shipping needs. Whatever the material, whatever the size, whatever the industry, whatever the destination… we have the equipment and the expertise to deliver your bulk freight anywhere from Prudhoe to Homer utilizing our fleet of 24 numatic bulkers.
At our large scale terminals in Anchorage and Fairbanks, Sourdough Express has a highly skilled team of yard personnel professionals that secure and tarp loads with specialized equipment.

Whether you are moving within Alaska to or from Alaska or going overseas Sourdough Transfer is big enough to handle the job.
To accurately assess your moving requirements, a Sourdough Transfer representative will visit your home to perform a pre-move survey. We will then design a custom move and packing plan that covers every phase of your relocation. During the pre-move visit, you can discuss moving any special items or items of concern. Your Sourdough Transfer representative is fully trained to assist you.
Storage Containers
Why pay for mini storage when you can have storage in your own backyard?
Not enough room in your garage for those snow machines, four wheelers, and tools? Well there is no need to worry because Sourdough Express has 20 and 40-foot containers that are great for storing these items.
These steel storage containers provide dry, secure storage for any project, whether you’re storing household items or building a new home, and best of all, they are portable!
All of our containers are in good condition with hard wood flooring and steel doors located on the back of the unit. Each container is 89.5″ high, and 84″ wide. Our 20-foot containers are 19’6″ long and our 40-foot containers are exactly 39’7″ long.
You have the right to receive an estimate based on a physical (in-house) survey of your
shipment. Under the regulations, your mover must base your estimate (either binding,
non-binding, or not-to-exceed), on a physical survey of the household goods to be moved if
the goods are located with a 50-mile radius of your mover’s (or his agent’s) place of business.
You may elect to waive this requirement for a physical survey, but if you elect to do so,
you must sign a written waiver of your rights.
In all likelihood, you will find that an on-site estimate based on a physical survey
of the items that you plan on moving will be more accurate than an estimate that you
provide to your mover over the telephone or the Internet. So, unless circumstances warrant
(normally due to the time constraints of a short-notice move or because you are only shipping
a few items) think carefully before you elect to waive the required physical survey
of your shipment.
