The Requirements for New Jersey Motorcycle Shipment

The requirements for motorcycle shipment in New Jersey are relatively standard no matter what company you choose to go with. However, if crated shipping is offered, then the requirements are different. The motorcycle must be drained of all fluids and the battery must be disconnected before shipment can happen. This is only for crated shipping. Many people choose this method due to the fact that it is the safest option.

Standard Requirements for Shipment:

Check all fluids and tire pressure.
Disable the alarm system if the motorcycle has one.
Check for any damage prior to shipment. Take pictures and notes for your own sake.
Make sure there is a ¼ tank of gas.
Clean the bike completely.
Take any loose or unnecessary items off of the motorcycle before shipment.

Shipping Methods Usually Offered

Enclosed Transport – Safe and secure way of shipping. The motorcycle is placed inside of an enclosed container and shipped.
Open Air Transport – The motorcycle is placed on a trailer. This allows for road conditions and weather to possibly cause damage to the bike if the conditions are poor.
Door to Door – The motorcycle is picked up from a specific location and dropped off at a specific location.
Terminal to Terminal – This is a cheaper option, but it requires the bike to be picked up from and dropped off at a terminal which may or may not be in close proximity.
