Freight Shipping Tips: Motorcycle and ATV Shipping

Every month, Shipping & Freight ships many motorcycles and ATV's for dealers, Ebay sellers, and individuals. If you are looking to ship a motorcycle or ATV, there are several things you may want to consider in order to get the lowest shipping rates possible and ensure that your shipment arrives safe and secure.

First, you want to make sure you have the proper information. This includes having the correct dimensions, weight, and classification. This will ensure that your freight agent will give you an accurate price. Make sure that your given weight includes the added weight for the crate that the motorcycle or ATV is in to avoid any re-bills after the shipment. Your freight agent will give you the proper classification for your bike or ATV using the weight and dimensions that you provide.

Next, per carrier requirements, you will need to drain your ATV or Motorcycle of all fluids in preparation for shipment. LTL carriers also require that the vehicle be crated. The following are some examples of ATV and motorcycle crates:


ATV Crate


Motorcycle Crate
Here are some more examples for MOTORCYCLES and ATV's.

These crates can be built, bought, or possibly picked up from a local motorcycle dealer. The purpose of the crate is to minimize liability for the carrier and to protect the vehicle from the many other items on the LTL Shipment.

With this information, you are not ready to ship your motorcycle or ATV. Feel free to call our freight agents with any questions, concerns, or to receive your Free Freight Quote!
