Roll Call Alaska 2016
I have been planning this trip for 4+ years. It is now time to update my estimates and make my reservations. Estimate Wash/BC border about 5 May 2016, north on route 97/1/2 to Tok, south to Valdez...

Good plan I think to go over this portion of the trip during the weekend, 125 miles can easily be done, less truck I would think and less chance to get a rock in the Windshield.
There's just as many haul trucks on the highway on a weekends as there are on a weekday. They don't plan having Sat/Sun off when they're doing a long haul from the south to Alaska. They just make the miles regardless of the day, until they reach their destination.
Although the construction is usually in pause mode on a weekend so you might not be held up waiting for a pilot car.
Weekends are busier with locals on the highway - in a hurry to get into Whitehorse for grocery shopping or some other chore.
