Totem Ocean Trailer Express Careers in Auburn, WA

Since setting sail as a one-ship company in 1975, Totem Ocean Trailer Express, Inc. (Totem Ocean) has become the premier provider of ocean transportation service between the ports of Anchorage, Alaska and Tacoma, Washington. Totem Ocean operates a fleet of (RO/RO) cargo ships in addition to providing overland highway and intermodal connections throughout greater Alaska, Canada and the Lower 48.

The distance between the ports of Tacoma and Anchorage is 1,450 nautical miles, with a transit time of approximately 66 hours, from port to port. Totem Ocean is a member of the Sal
