Plan Trucking
System to Serve
Southeast Alaska
KETCHIKAN Uft — Plans for
a trucking system which would
serve all Southeast Alaska cities
from a base in Seattle through
use of the new southeast ferries
was announced here Wednesday.
The new firm will be launched
by Puget Sound Freight Lines of
Seattle but will be incorporated
in Alaska, said Howard Lovejoy,
president and general manager of
FSFL.
He said the plan is to haul
tractor-drawn trailers up the high
way to Prince Rupert and to load
them on the ferries for their
southeastern calls and deliveries.
He added that third morning de
livery of goods will be guaranteed
here. It is to be a daily service,
Lovejoy said.
Prominent among the officials
of the new firm will be James
Pinkerton of Ketchikan, who is
one of the top officials of Ketchi
kan Cold Storage Co.
Pinkerton said the new develop
ment will wipe out Ketchikan
Merchants’ Cooperative which
operates four boats between south
eastern points and Seattle. He
said the Cooperative has 300 mem
bers, mostly small merchants.
Under the new plan, said Pink
erton, fresh fish — mostly halibut
— will be shipped to Midwest
and California markets, a project
impossible under present condi
tions.
Lovejoy said tiie new company
will seek a certificate of conven
ience and necessity shortly after
Jan. 1 from the Interstate Com
merce Commission. He said the
new service will start operations
at the same time as the ferries,
probably around Sept. 1.
Lovejoy said the company will
spend $500,000 to equip the enter
prise.
The tractors, he said, will be
sleeper-equipiped and two drivers
will be assigned to each so that
the trucks can run night and day.
It will be the first “over-the
road” service for Ketchikan and
most other southeastern cities.
The service will be offered to
all points as far north as Skag
way and Haines.
