Getting Your Bike Ready for Hauling
To ship a bike, you have to ensure that its condition meets the set requirements. Preparing a bike for hauling will require you to remove the motorcycle accessories, disable the alarm system, and check the fluids levels, the tire pressure, and the engine. You should also confirm that the gas in the tank is at a maximum level of a quarter of the total capacity. You should also ensure that the parts that need fixing are attended to by a professional. After cleaning the bike, you ought to inspect it and also take photos of it. This will be useful if you will have to file a claim form as you seek compensation for damages caused to your bike when it was being shipped.
Note: Additional preparation is required when relocating the bike in a crate: you have to disconnect the battery and drain the fluids.

The following are factors that you should consider as you search for a mover:
- Relevant experience in motorcycle shipping, especially to Douglas.
- Approval by the Better Business Bureau.
- Licensed to operate and also registered under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT).
