How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping
Depending on where you are shipping the bike, there are certain preparation measures that save a great deal of mix-ups. General preparation procedures for motorbike transportation are detailed below.
- Your ride should be spotless during pick-up. This will prevent any hitches with quarantine if you are shipping to another country.
- Crate the bike a couple of days before the shipper arrives. Ensure you use the required wood – ISPM15 for crating.
- Drain the gas down to reserve level.
- Recharge the battery to full capacity, but, disconnect at the terminals.
- Leave the gear in neutral to avoid engine complications and also for easier moving of the bike by the shipping team.
- Make sure the tires are inflated properly especially if the bike is rolled on and off the hauling truck.
- Gas and fluids leaks might damage the bike. Fix any fluid leakages before shipping.
What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company
To enjoy impeccable motorcycle moving services in Saginaw, one should search for a shipper that possesses certain qualities. Some of the attributes to look for in a carrier include:
- Industry experience. Begin your search for the best hauler on the block by checking the industry experience they have gained over a certain period. If the company has been in business for many years, they are certainly a good fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ship my motorcycle from Saginaw to a seasonal vacation spot and store it until I arrive?
Yes. You can arrange transport of your bike from Saginaw to your vacation location (or a dealer/garage there) and request the carrier or storage partner hold it until you arrive. Key influencing factors include pickup date flexibility, storage duration, and whether the destination garage or terminal is tractor-trailer accessible. If you plan this ahead of time it often comes at no additional cost beyond standard transport.
What paperwork do I need when shipping a motorcycle to or from Saginaw?
You’ll need to provide a copy of the title or registration, a signed bill of lading at pickup and delivery, and contact information for the authorised person who will receive the bike. Some carriers may ask for proof of insurance coverage or statement of value if you’re declaring higher value. Ensure you check whether the pickup or delivery location requires special permits or access (especially in Saginaw’s older neighbourhoods). See our guide on what to expect on pickup and delivery for full checklist.
Will snow and winter conditions around Saginaw affect my motorcycle shipping schedule?
Yes. The Great Lakes / Saginaw region’s winter weather can add 1-2 days to pickup or delivery schedules. Snow, ice or limited road access may require the carrier to reroute or wait for cleared roads. If you’re shipping during December-March, consider booking with extra transit buffer and request enclosed transport for added protection from road salt and slush. For timing and seasonal considerations see our shipping time & seasonal factors guide for detailed advice.
Can I ship parts or accessories with my motorcycle from Saginaw?
Generally, only the motorcycle itself is covered under the standard transport contract; loose items such as helmets, extra luggage, spare parts or aftermarket accessories must usually be shipped separately or explicitly added to the contract. If you attach saddlebags permanently and they’re part of the bike, they’re usually fine, but loose gear should be noted. Always confirm with your carrier and ask about coverage limits on non-permanently attached items. For more on what’s included and what’s not see our preparation checklist.
How soon should I book my motorcycle shipment from Saginaw for best value?
For optimal pricing and availability, book 2-4 weeks in advance when possible. For routes involving Saginaw this allows the carrier to consolidate loads and optimise routing, reducing costs. During peak riding season (spring/summer) or before major bike events, booking early ensures you avoid last-minute premium surcharges. On shorter in-state moves you may secure dates faster, but longer cross-country transports benefit from early planning.
