Launched over two decades ago, A-1 Auto Transport Inc. has expanded over the years and undergone tremendous changes to match the market needs. We have built stable relationships with clients ranging from motorcycle owners to dealers and manufacturers.
Our preferential shipping costs have enabled us to ship more than 1,000,000 motorcycles since our inception. This huge milestone was achieved because we provide customers with a specialized niche hauling service.
Tailored transport solutions are offered by well-trained experts. We answer all clients' questions in Elmwood Park quickly and deal with the red tape while you relax.
Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle
There are several motorcycle moving methods. These are subject to the clients’ precedence, the distance between them and the recipient, and the budget. The options we have available are:
- Shared container method. Bike dealers will find this as an economical alternative since it saves them thousands of dollars. We can facilitate the transport of over 500 bikes with just one container.
- Crated Here, the client must remove the battery from the bike before packing it in the crate. A comprehensive record of every item placed in the crate is necessary for customs clearance.
- Enclosed trailer shipping. After preparations, the bike is belted in a covered truck. The truck's interior has high-end security apparatuses to protect the bike from damage and vandalism.
- Open Hauling. This is a simple method of conveyance where your bike is strapped on a skid and loaded on a lowboy truck. Even if the motorbike is at risk of damage by external factors, we have not had such cases before.
How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping
Prevention is better than cure! We apply a similar concept at the preparation stage of your bike shipment. For those who think that getting a motorcycle ready is a cumbersome activity, the procedures are easy to do and are meant to prevent possible damage. The following are handy guidelines to keep in mind:
- Clean your bike about a week before the moving date.
- Find your licenses, operating manuals, and any other documents required for shipping and arrange them. You will ship these together with the bike.
- The bike should be in neutral gear when hauling.
- Remove delicate motorbike accessories. Please put them in shatter-proof and labeled boxes.
- Confirm the corrosive and inflammable fluids. Drain them to prevent spillage and damage to the truck’s floor or the motorcycle.
- Fold in the side mirrors if they cannot be detached.
- Charge the battery, place it in a watertight container, and label the container as “hazardous.”

What To Look For In A Bike Hauling Service
- Your bike shipper should use high-end equipment while handling your bike. Ensure your ride is belted to a skid with heavy-duty straps and the liftgates are in excellent condition.
- Your motorcycle hauler should have tracking features that are instant and performed online. You should be able to use these features remotely.
- Ring the company you want to vet and confirm that it is a human who takes your call. This will ensure that you will have someone to handle the situation when any problem arises.
- Confirm that your carrier solution provider is registered and the US Department of Transport has issued a permit. Ask for their license number to confirm that they are indeed certified.
