Motorcycle and ATV Transportation

Trustworthy Towing understands that the requirements of motorcycle and ATV shipping are markedly different from those of shipping other freight. Like all vehicles, motorcycles have to be secured at multiple points, but since they rest on two wheels and not four, the risk of damage is much greater.

That’s why shippers who don’t specialize in motorcycle transport make more mistakes, leading to dropped bikes, more damage and angrier customers.  Today we wanted to cover the considerations we feel, you should consider when vetting a company to tow your motorcycle or ATV…

Experience matters

Once you decide that shipping your bike is the best option, you simply need to find a shipper who specializes in bike shipping. This doesn’t mean you should work with a regular freighter just because they’ve got the trailer space and have handled a few bikes before. If you want your motorcycle to arrive at its destination undamaged and ready to ride, you’ll only work with firms that don’t ship anything but motorcycles and ATVs.

Remember, shipping with a non-specialist is not only riskier, but it’s also more work for you. To reduce their liability, generic shippers make you disconnect batteries, drain gas tanks and empty out the oil. They may even require you to pack your bike in a crate. If you ship a bike with an actual motorcycle shipping company, however, you won’t have to worry about any of this extra rigmarole.

Pricing considerations

Another important point to consider is pricing. Sure, someone may offer you an OK rate online, but you have no way of knowing whether they’ll jack it up upon arrival when they’ve got you by the neck.

The best shippers offer standardized rates and more professional services, ensuring that you can get your bike where it needs to go within budget.
