Arrow Best shipping company for your bike?

Hey I'm looking to ship a bike from Utah to Montana


If you had a bike shipped before, who did you use and how was their service?


Thanks folks

good luck with that move.I recently wanted to buy one of this forum from Va,It was phone calls to all recommended transport companies.It was then wait for quotes.Most said it was off their freight lane and wouldnt even bid it.The ones that did had such a extended transport time I elected to not buy the thing.My guess would be to post it on USHIP for licensed insured transport companies to bid on.Then after you get the names on the ones interested you can contact them off the site for pricing

Allied Van Lines shipped mine from Kentucky to Denver. About $550. Strapped to a dedicated pallet in a closed semi.

www.uship.com

List you bike and shippers bid on it. Lower rates than contacting shippers directly as shippers use this service to fill their trucks when their regular rate bookings fail to fill the truck completely on a run. Kind of like Expedia for shippers.
