Frankly, the road conditions can be treacherous. Weather, moose, darkness, two lanes undivided, it's no exaggeration when they describe that highway as one of the deadliest in Alaska.

And it doesn't happen every year but there are avalanches that close down the highway for days. One year, the town of Girdwood was literally cutoff for a week and supplies needed to be flown in by light aircraft.

Personally I wouldn't consider commuting from Seward to ANC.

Also, where are the nice places to live / commute (drive ) from from ANC ? We recently started service to ANC again taking my better looking half there soon to go hiking so just interested in what people do who are based and living there

I don’t work at FedEx but have lived in AK. Most of the Seward/Homer, Kenai areas are gonna be nice. Think fishing towns with some summer tourism. The previous posters have pointed out most downsides. Palmer would probably be a better place to live in my opinion, but it’s alll about what you want to be close to.

Wasilla, Palmer and Big Lake are certainly contenters as well.
The Hillside area of ANC can be very nice.
Anything other than those places will involve >1 hr drive times in good weather.

Seward is seasonal. Most people in Seward aren’t from there. The drive is major highways and should be as accessible as any major Alaskan highway. Iv’e only spent time there in the spring and summer months so take my safety advice with a grain of salt. Beautiful place.
