Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle

At A-1 Auto Transport, a bike rider looking to transport their rides has an array of alternatives. The chosen option is reliant on the customer’s needs such as urgency, budget, and distance. Some of our options are:

• Open truck shipping. If you are searching for the cheapest method to ship your motorcycle, then open-air is your pick. Your bike is transported on a lowboy truck. This method often leaves your bike exposed to road elements and bad weather.
• Enclosed truck transport. The transport method is costlier to use, but it is the best choice if you are looking to transport an exotic bike or any bike that you need to be delivered in pristine showroom condition.
• Crated bike transport. This method involves crating and packing your motorcycle. Building a crate can be time-consuming but offers maximum safety to the bike. Always hire an expert if you are not familiar with the process of crate building.

How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping

The critical set of instructions for the prepping steps that bike owners should complete before their bike shipments are provided by the haulers. Our collection of guidelines includes:

• Ensuring that your bike is operable, and if not, detail the problems in your assessment records. Also, jot down any unique operating instructions.
• Remember to inflate both the front and back tires as these will act as cushions during transport.
• The battery should be charged sufficiently to avoid inconveniences during offloading.
• Fill the fuel tank with gas up to the quarter mark.
• Check for leaking fluids and ensure the leakages are fixed.

What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company

• Shipping costs. Walk into the shipper’s office and ask for a quote. But before this, do your homework to find out the current market rates. Be careful with companies that offer low-ball shipping costs. Shippers offering such low prices cannot credibly transport your bike and provide excellent security services. Odds are they use second or third-hand machinery. Also, you are likely to find out that they pay the handlers peanuts.
• Reliability of the shipper’s services. Ask about the period the haulers have been providing the transport services in McHenry. Transport solution providers that have been in the business for a long time are worth the hire.
• Find out about their insurance information. Typically, insurers must vet the companies before selling them insurance services. If the shippers have genuine insurance policies, then they have had low or zero damage claims. Minimal complaints are indicators of quality transport services.
