Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle
- Open-air mode. Before loading your bike on a non-enclosed truck, our truck operators will secure it on a tailored ramped skid that we fashioned and use solely for motorbikes.
- Enclosed truck transport. The significant difference between this option and the open-air option is the weather sealing. Enclosed shipping is an all-weather transport mode.
- We use individual metal containers designed for motorcycle haulage. The interior is fitted with chokes that hold the wheels firmly for optimal safety.
How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping
After booking a bike shipment, there are important activities that follow, and they include:
- Remove any bike accessory that can easily break or shatter while the bike is in transit. Examples include the headlight, side mirrors, and helmet.
- Check for possible damages in the engine. Be sure to use a professional mechanic to repair any damage.
- Keep the levels of the fluids at the recommended quantity.
- Lower the fuel in the tank if it is above the quarter mark.
- Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure levels.
- Disconnect all the tracking and alarm devices on the motorcycle.
- Wash the motorcycle thoroughly.
- Look for marks, dents, and discoloration on the ride and record them. You should make enough copies for both the shipper and the receiver.
- Take clear images of your motorcycle to capture its pre-shipping state.
- Remove the battery and keep it safe in another container if you will crate the motorcycle.
What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company
- Be sure to inquire about payment since every shipping firm will differ from the other. You should use shippers that ask for fees after the shipping truck arrives at the destination. Be on the lookout for firms that lure customers to pick their shipping services by discounted rates only to surcharge them later and those that ask for full payments before shipping.
- Find out the registration details of your shipper. A reliable shipper has licenses issued by the Department of Transport. You should see their US DOT number displayed on the trucks too.
- Confirm the hauler’s insurance coverage. Never assume that if your motorcycle is damaged during shipping the shipper will foot all the repairs and replacements. You need to find out what indemnity the shipper offers for you bike shipment.
- All shipping companies in Mundelein must be approved by the Better Business Bureau. The easiest way to find out if a shipper is approved is checking if they exist on BBB website. If they are present, their ratings should be excellent.
