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!

I like your post I tell you something hope you like Under-inflated tires are one of the most commonly ignored causes of crummy MPG. Tires lose air due to time (about 1 psi per month) and temperature (1 psi for every 10 degree drop); under-inflated tires have more rolling resistance, which means you need to burn more gas to keep your car moving. Buy a reliable tire gauge and check your tires at least once a month. Be sure to check them when they are cold, since driving the car warms up the tires along with the air inside them, which increases pressure and gives a falsely high reading. Use the inflation pressures shown in the owner's manual or on the data plate in the driver's door jamb.Car Freight Shipping

Normally Abarth model comes with sport cloth seats, but we can change it to leather seating as optional. The plastics on center console and door made by plastics feel cheap and chrome rings around the window switches and buttons are too bad.
