Compare motorcycle shipping companies
Using an auto transporter to move your bike will help ensure it arrives safely and quickly to its destination. While there are many similarities between shipping a carand shipping a motorcycle, it’s best to work with companies that have specific experience shipping motorcycles.
What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company
To find the best motorcycle shipping company for your needs, make sure to do the following:
- Get motorcycle shipping quotes from a few different carriers and verify their licensing and insurance before utilizing their services. Also, check out motorcycle shipping reviews to see what other consumers have to say.
- Confirm that the company you choose carries the proper licensing. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), auto transporters (and transport brokers) are required to be registered with the FMCSA and are issued a six-digit MC Docket number. You can confirm the validity of the MC Docket number by doing a search through the FMCSA licensing website.
- Verify that the carrier is registered with the Department of Transportation and has a seven-digit USDOT number. In addition, there are other licensing requirements that are state-specific. Carriers must have the licensing required for their state in order to operate legally.
