I've used Haul Bikes Direct on a number of occasions. They get the job done and I've found their drivers to be very solid. The downside is whatever delivery time they give you, plan on that not happening. I had a bike shipped from North Carolina to Colorado a few months ago. They indicated 20 days, it took them 60.

Vjr my friend, if u have not already, u may want to use the search feature. (It has been improved recently and works really well and super fast.)

That subject matter has come up several times in the past and once not that long ago mate.

Here you are, I just used him a couple of months ago and that is all he does. His name is Dennis and tell him that I referred you: 50mobiletransport@gmail.com

That is all that he does and he moves a lot of high dollar bikes for special customers, etc., and even people like me for prices that were less than the others I was referred to here - he moved my RG from WI to FL in a nice 28; enclosed trailer. Perfect job and he even took the time to go over the bike and tell me about the air suspension, center stand, etc. He travels with his wife but only east of the Mississippi River.

I had enough and booked with Dennis, who picked it up that week and delivered it 3 days later.

I used Haulbikes (Daily Direct) to ship cross country. No complaints but they do take a looooong while which I attribute to more bikes to ship than trucks to haul them. I actually did terminal to terminal round trip so that cut the time down. They still wanted the bike 4 weeks ahead of time to get it to my destination on time but they would not offer a guarantee either. They made it in about 2 weeks Harrisburg, PA to Las Vegas. I'd use them again.

I have used HaulBikes/Daily Direct for 4 motorcycles. Perfect on all deliveries. Would use them again without a second thought.

I had my Softail shipped from SC to MI with keyboard shipping. Price was reasonable, fast, and insured. That was 10 years ago, but if I needed to move a bike in the US they would get my business.
