The process
How motorcycle shipping works
Quick answer
Motorcycle shipping works in five steps: get a free quote, book with a live agent, meet the driver for a pickup inspection, the bike travels in an enclosed trailer, and you check it with the driver at delivery. We call ahead before both pickup and delivery.

- 1Quote: call or send the form with your bike and ZIP codes.
- 2Book: confirm addresses, contacts, and dates with a live agent.
- 3Pickup: the driver calls ahead, inspects the bike with you, and loads it.
- 4Transport: the bike rides in an enclosed trailer, held with a wheel chock and soft-tie straps.
- 5Delivery: the driver calls ahead, you check the bike together, and sign for it.
FAQ
How it works: common questions
How is the pickup inspection done?
The driver walks around the bike with you and notes its condition on the paperwork. Compare it with your own photos before you sign.
How is my bike loaded?
It is ridden or rolled up a ramp or onto a liftgate, the front wheel goes into a chock, and soft-tie straps are fitted to the frame.
Can I ask for an update while my bike is on the road?
Yes. Call a live agent any day from 8am to 8pm ET for a status update.
What do I sign at delivery?
The delivery paperwork, after you have checked the bike. Note anything you find before signing.
