The route
The truck leaves Richmond on I-95 south through Petersburg and Emporia, crosses North Carolina near Rocky Mount and Fayetteville, then runs the South Carolina and Georgia coast past Florence and Savannah. In Florida it continues past Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, and the Space Coast into West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami-Dade.
Seasonal notes
October and November are the peak months for southbound shipments as snowbirds head for Florida, and April and May bring the same bikes north again. Book early for those windows. Hurricane season runs June through November; storms rarely stop shipments for long, but they can push a pickup or delivery date, and we will keep you posted by phone.
Arriving in Miami
Many Miami deliveries go to condo towers in Brickell, Miami Beach, and Aventura, where the truck unloads in a building lot, loading dock, or nearby street rather than a garage. Single-family areas in Coral Gables, Kendall, and Homestead are simpler. From Miami, riders head down US-1 and the Overseas Highway to the Keys.

FAQ
Richmond to Miami shipping questions
How far is it from Richmond to Miami?
About 960 road miles, almost all on I-95. That is roughly 14 to 15 hours of driving time for a car without stops. A transport truck makes other pickups and deliveries along the way, so call for timing on your specific shipment.

Can you deliver to a Miami Beach condo?
Yes. Most towers do not allow a transport truck in the garage, so the bike is unloaded at a loading dock, building lot, or nearby street. Check with your building about large-vehicle rules before delivery day.

It can. If a storm threatens South Florida between June and November, pickup or delivery may move a few days for safety. We will call you with any change.
