2 Ways to Ship a Motorcycle across Country

For your best friend’s upcoming birthday celebration in Philadelphia, you decided to surprise him with a vintage bike you bought from an owner in Florida. Yet a month before you head out to your buddy's place, you get a special assignment from your boss that makes it impossible to push through with your travel plans. You don't have to worry about your gift not arriving on time, however, as there are still ways to get the bike delivered to your best friend.

Your first option is to work with a truck and trailer transport company that transports big-ticket items across the country. These companies maintain a sizeable fleet of trucks and well-trained drivers. Your bike will most likely be placed on a trailer, either open or enclosed, along with several other items for transport.


The second choice is to work with a shipping company that provides motorcycle shipping services. Such a company won’t risk damaging your shipment by placing the bike without added protection on a trailer. Rather, a company of this sort will pack and build a custom crate for the bike to ensure it arrives in mint condition. Certain shipping companies even add braces to the crate to ensure that the contents are securely in place.
