Launched over two decades ago, A-1 Auto Transport Inc. has expanded over the years and undergone tremendous changes to match the market needs. We have built stable relationships with clients ranging from motorcycle owners to dealers and manufacturers.

Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle

There are several motorcycle transport methods. These are subject to the clients’ precedence, the distance between them and the recipient, and the budget. The options we have available are:

• Shared container method. Motorcycle dealers will find this as an economical alternative since it saves them thousands of dollars. We can facilitate the transport of over 500 bikes with just one container.
• Crated Here, the client must remove the battery from the bike before packing it in the crate. A comprehensive record of every item placed in the crate is necessary for customs clearance.
• Enclosed trailer shipping. After preparations, the motorcycle is belted in a covered truck. The interior of the truck has high-end security apparatuses to protect the bike from damage and vandalism.
• Open shipping. This is a simple method of transportation where your bike is strapped on a skid and loaded on a lowboy truck. Even if the motorcycle is at risk of damage by external factors, we have not had such cases before.

How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping

Prevention is better than cure! We apply a similar concept at the preparations stage of your bike shipment. For those who think that getting a motorcycle ready is a cumbersome activity, the procedures are easy to do and are meant to prevent possible damages. The following are handy guidelines to keep in mind:

• Clean your motorcycle about a week before the shipping date.
• Find your licenses, operating manuals, and any other document required for shipping and arrange them. You will ship these together with the bike.
• The bike should be in neutral gear when shipping.
• Remove motorcycles accessories that are delicate. Put them in shatter-proof and labeled boxes.
• Confirm the fluids that are corrosive and inflammable. Drain these to prevent spillage and damage on the truck’s floor or the motorcycle.
• Fold in the side mirrors if they cannot be detached.
• Charge the battery, place it in a watertight container, and label the container as “hazardous.”
