Default I just got my bike back from CA, to AR.

I had my bike deliver from CA to AR and when I got it back everything is in perfect condition. I have it shipped by federal motorcycle transport, the only thing is that it take alittle longer to get it back. If you have to send it to anywhere for a bike rally? It might take awhile to get it there on time. Other than that is real good!

I used Keyboard motorcycle. Had it shipped from MN to TX. Service was excellent. The truck driver was very good and proffesional. They shipped right to my house.

I would not use Daily Direct again ... corporate is way over booked and delayed delivery is a usual thing..., but the hauler is a private contractor and he was great, but the schedule was out of his control ... from corporate ... not realistic ...


false promises ...

I used an enclosed transporter out of Florida to ship my bike to Seattle from Miami over summer. The driver was great and my bike arrived mint condition check them out

Update, I just used these guys again to ship me and a friends bike from Florida to Houston texas. Highly recommend again!

Stay away from JCMotors! Worse experience I've ever had. Very unprofessional, unreliable, and their customer service sucks. There are better alternatives out there.

Try www.transportmasters.com your bike or car will not be part of a group transport and is individually moved door to door by the trucker on the dates you want.

I used uship and it worked for me. I bought a bike in Iowa and I'm in Virginia. I posted on uship and waded through the different bids until I found a shipper with a good price and good feedback. Take a look at their web site.
