Do you need a FCL (full container load) moved from one warehouse to another? Need to transport cargo a short-distance from a port to a storage facility?
For all your short-run freight pickup and delivery needs, Royal Alaskan Movers offers drayage services (sometimes called “port to door” or final mile delivery service).
Part of a comprehensive service offering, designed to provide our customers with a sole provider for every step of the journey, our drayage services include curbside delivery, inside delivery, white glove, restocking, and more, all designed to fit to your business needs and timetables.
Customized freight pickup and delivery service
When you’re shipping freight to, from, or across Alaska, it usually requires more than “port-to-port” or “airstrip-to-airstrip” pickup and delivery service.
Read MoreFor both that first mile (e.g., from a manufacturing facility to warehouse where cargo is consolidated into pallets or containers) to that final mile (e.g., from storage to a retail outlet) Royal Alaskan Movers offers drayage services.
While short distance pickup and delivery may comprise only a few miles in your overall supply chain, those miles are no less critical.
When you partner with Royal Alaskan Movers, we will create a customized shipping and logistics plan that covers every step in that chain, and provide a start-to-finish freight service that doesn’t stop at the port, but goes curbside, inside, upstairs — wherever you need each container, pallet, or crate delivered.

What our Customers are saying

<p>We love Royal Alaskan Movers. They moved our belongings from one house to another in Anchorage 5 years ago and then, just a few weeks ago, loaded up our shipment container for our move to the lower 48. They were, both times, professional, efficient, on-time and knew what they were doing to pack our belongings safely and securely in the trailer. I cannot recommend them highly enough!! Thank you, Royal Alaskan Movers for your service and support!<br><strong>-Julie Hirt</strong></p>

<p>This year they helped me move my own household and then my parents. We lived in different states in the lower 48. The communication and support were top notch. The movers were respectful, efficient and fast. They also stored our belongings until we found our home.<br><strong>-Rebekah Fisher</strong></p>

<p>Your company took care of an important move for us in Wasilla on very short notice, after a local valley mover failed us. Your crew Andrew and (not sure the others name, sorry) were fast and courteous and kicked butt. These two are an asset to your company. Marla and the crew kept in good communication throughout this whole ordeal. Thank you all!<br><strong>-Matt Rustin</strong></p>

<p>Royal Alaskan Movers was a huge help! I work for an organization that needed assistance moving contents from two different locations. RAM was incredibly flexible, professional, and accommodating! They literally changed someone's life with the quality of their customer service.<br><strong>-Daniel Santos</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We have had Royal Alaskan Movers move not only a piano, but also a large, heavy bar for us. The business was responsive with scheduling the move, the movers were respectful and timely, and their prices are very competitive with other companies in Anchorage. I will definitely use them again in the future-<br><strong>-Amy Hart</strong></p>

<p>My husband and I recently moved to Alaska for the Military. This is our 4th move and our 3rd time shipping household goods. Royal Alaskan Movers has by far been the most professional, courteous, and hardworking movers we have ever experienced.<br><strong>-Darneisha Duby</strong></p>

<p>Amazing company! They went above and beyond for me.<br>I had a HUGE sectional and a LONG flight of stairs.. and they tackled it like a beast! And without damaging anything! Justin was super nice, even helped me with my door security I was to weak to install myself. He explained all my paper work thoroughly, and made sure I had a clear understanding of what was going on. On top of that I received a call from the company to make sure my move went well.<br>Over all I would HIGHLY suggest this company (and giving Justin and his partner a raise)<br>-Gemise W.</p>

<p>The experience I had with Royal Alaskan Movers couldn't have been better. I had to coordinate from out of state, never met anyone with the company and everything they told me was absolutely true (costs, move date, picking up items from different sources, storage of items). When the furniture was delivered, it was wrapped an packed just like Rod said it would be and seeing it was better than I expected. They unloaded the truck fast and carefully. Rod and everyone I spoke with were so helpful. I hope to never have to move again, but I am certainly recommending them to anyone who needs a great moving company!<br>-Lynn M.</p>

<p>Recently, my wife and I made our retirement move from Anchorage AK to Goodyear AZ. We decided in advance to ship only the items we absolutely loved. Based on our past experience we took out the max insurance just to be sure we would be covered "when" our goods arrived damaged. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Remarkably, everything arrived intact with no and we mean "NO DAMAGE NOT EVEN AS MUCH AS A SCRATCH" on anything! Dishes, keepsake furniture and wall hanging, tools, glassware & fragile items. Everything present and accounted and nothing damaged or broken.<br>-Greg M</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It feels amazing to have our things! Also, we are unpacked! AND, also it feels kinda miraculous that even the most fragile items were not broken through our changing situation, minus temps, snow, wind, mechanical issues, and pandemic... A HUGE THANK YOU, again! And, it is always a pleasure to talk with each member of your team. You all have a great spirit, and, we especially appreciate that. Please pass on our thanks to the best-ever packers in Fairbanks to driver and the unloaders here who were also fantastic. Blessings on you, please keep safe and healthy also, J and J</p>

<p>PS This is the 4th time we have returned to you for a move inside-outside, repeat. Who knows, we hope Alaska isn't done with us yet.<br>-Julienne W.</p>

<p>We are military and getting ready to move back to the lower 48 and the army assigned this moving company to us. The apartment was small so they were able to pack and load all in one day. Neil & Trevor were the two young men assigned to us, they were incredibly friendly, professional and efficient! We were very impressed and would recommend this company to everyone!<br>-Michelle E.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->Out of my whole military career, these are the best movers. They packed my house in no time and made sure I was notified of everything they were packing. They are very nice and professional. I would recommend their services to anyone moving from or to Alaska.
<h4>Azsia R.</h4>Everyone was courteous, professional, and understanding, and the speed of the packing/loading crews has been amazing. Thank you so much for making this a hassle-free experience for us! You'll be the first ones we call or recommend for any future moves.

<h5>Plano, TX</h5>Royal Alaskan Movers did great work. All of my things were in one piece. They were kind and courteous. Even though I was on the 2nd floor, no one complained. I had two long moves, and they were incredibly accommodating.

What does drayage mean for you in Alaska?
In some cases, “drayage” (a word derived from the dray horse, once used for short-run cart hauling) is linked with FCL and LCL freight shipping, and moving containerized goods a short distance. It can also refer to charges for these short-run pickup and delivery services.
But at Royal Alaskan Movers, it means we cover every step of your freight and supply chain management needs. Moving cargo from overseas to Anchorage, and need pickup and delivery on both ends? Moving your goods from a warehouse in Juneau to a retailer in that same city? Royal Alaskan Movers takes you every step of the way. And the steps are often many…
Read MoreWhen your cargo arrives in an Alaskan terminal (seaport or airport), that’s typically only the start of the journey: it’s trucking those goods to their final destination that can create challenges.
Because 1) most businesses don’t have the teams and trucks to move cargo from the shipping yards to their places of business, and 2) for reliable short-run delivery and pickup, you want a freight partner with deep experience in short distance trucking in Alaska.
Drayage services in Alaska require local drivers who know how to best navigate the north, and safely transport your goods under what can often be hazardous driving conditions.
Royal Alaskan Movers uses local drivers with local know-how, to ensure timely, cost-effective, and secure transport of your goods, whether it’s FF&E, heavy equipment, or restock for retail outlets, we will pickup and deliver through the first and final miles, and every step in-between.
