Calumet City Motorcycle Shipping Company, IL

The motorcycle industry, like any other industry, requires expertise, research, and innovation. A-1 Auto Transport is on the front line to ensure increased efficiency and reliability. We have achieved this by absorbing great talent into our team, conducting in-depth research on how to improve our shipping services, and giving potential clients tips on how to have successful bike shipments.

Speaking of prices, we have the best in the industry. We have included free packages in every shipment, such as free storage, free quotations, and free phone calls. We have partnered with several bike-building and selling companies, such as Harley Davidson and eBay. We have helped ship low-budget, mid-range, and high-end bikes in Calumet City for close to 30 years.

Different Methods We Can Use To Ship Your Motorcycle

• Crated motorcycle carrier. Your pricey scrambler will be safer when you choose our crated method for moving. We use wooden crates that are cushioned for greater protection.
• Covered truck transport. Our enclosed trailers offer first-class protection to motorcycles being transported. The trucks are fitted with all types of security gadgets, such as infrared cameras with night vision features, GPS devices for tracking abilities, and security warning devices.
• Open-air motorcycle hauling. Our fleet of open trucks will help any bike owner move their bike to and from any location. However, we must assess the weather conditions before facilitating your shipment.

How To Prepare Your Bike For Hauling

We always remind our customers to prepare their bikes before they bring them for hauling or before our agents pick them up at their domiciles. The following are our guidelines on the appropriate motorcycle preparation methods.

• Wash the motorcycle. Use a soft fabric for cleaning and a cotton cloth for drying.
• Assess the bike for damages. The examination should be performed in a well-lit area.
• Record your findings in writing and images. Take clear and crisp pictures. These will be used as proof if your bike gets vandalized before delivery.
• Remove all loose parts. If loose motorcycle accessories are left on the bike during moving, they can cause loss and damage.
• Check the gas level. Fumes emitted by a motorcycle with a filled fuel tank pose a danger to the drivers and other road users. If a fire starts, your bike will be affected, too. The recommended gas level is only ¼ of the tank.
• Disable the alarm device. You do not need an alarm on the bike while we handle it. We will take good care of the bike.
• Drain the fluids. Some of the fluids used in motorcycles are dangerous. Shippers recommend bike owners to remove all flammable and corrosive fluids.
• Charge the battery. Since the battery ignites the motorcycle's engine, it should be charged to full capacity before shipping.

What To Look For In A Motorbike Hauling Service

• Are the prices from your shipper in the range of what other equivalent shippers ask for? Be sure to vet several shippers before choosing one. This activity will efficiently guide you to know shippers who are only eyeing your money. Always use shippers whose prices follow parameters formulated by the US Department of Transport.
• Find out what experience previous clients had with the shipper. This information is easily retrieved from the company’s website. Reliable shippers will have good comments, and bad shippers will have bad comments.
