Shipping company recomendations
#21
Anyhow, I would definitely suggest Incognito Express to anyone looking for transportation.
There are a lot of Brokers out there that are portraying themselves as the actual shipping company...Watch out for them. You pay more anytime a Broker is involved.

Just shipped an 04 Sportster from Ohio to California using a company called Daily Direct Motorcycle Transportation (1-888-HAULBIKES ) Took a little over 3 weeks and it arrived yesterday . My son said it was a little dirty(dusty) but overall he was very pleased . Daily Direct uses specific trailers made for motorcycle hauling . Looks like a big Nascar hauler . They tiedown the bikes to a specially made pallet .When the driver picked up my bike he may have had room for 1 or 2 more bikes. Overall this company made a great impression on me and my son . And not a bad price at $640
Sorry had to add, The bikes are shipped ready to go ,gas in tank , battery connected . I zip tied a key to the handlebars ,my son fired it up and drove it home . The 2nd. thing ,this is a very large semi & trailer so they need a large area like a Home Depot lot or industrial park to off-load ,and the driver will call a day ahead to confirm delivery .

Worked for Haulbikes they are a great co but you need to get everything in writing with any shipping co.Add extra ins as things do happen...not often but they do happen...In the 2 years I delivered bikes only had 2 claims but one was a custom painted bike long story short I took photo of every bike I loaded to cover my BUTT 2 weeks after delivery he claims its scratched after he signed a clean delivery receipt.They took his side cause the customer is always right...until the bill came in at 10,000.00 paint job...they finally settle for less but I had proof it was clean at delivery but I degress anyway cover your butt with any carrier.You never said where it is,I see your in MD .HAVE HEARD GOOD ABOUT kEYBOARD.Dont use shipping masters and get EVERYTHING in WRITING.

i work for an auto relocation broker, we do ship bikes but ill be honest it would be cheaper to do it direct with a carrier obviously. but i saw where someone said you had to drain the fluids, we ship bikes on a daily basis and fluids do not have to be drained. there just needs to be a small amount of gas if the vehicle is being transported over seas. other than that everything can be left the same.

Give these guys a shout http://www.incognitoexpress.com/testimonials.htm
They were at around $550 from Ft Worth TX to Vegas. They used an enclosed trailer, good service, communication, etc. I would recommend.
