Things to Avoid When Searching for a Shipping Service.
- Non-binding agreements- Be wary of motorcycle transportation services that offer you a great deal over the phone. Unless you sign a document that clearly states how much you will be paying do not believe what they quote you. More reputable motorcycle shipping companies will offer a binding estimate.
- Transporters that do not specialize in motorcycle hauling- Unless the Wilkes-Barre company strictly deals with the transportation of motorcycles, do not hire them. Often times, moving companies will pose as motorcycle shipping companies, but they rarely have trained motorcycle haulers on staff.
- Shipping companies who have poor reviews online or those that do not have a website at all should not be trusted with your motorcycle.
Consider a Reliable Shipping Method.
Motorcycle shipping companies will showcase multiple different shipping options and they all vary in price. When it comes to your bike, you will need to determine what is best for your own peace of mind. Each shipping method is considered safe, but when it comes to how picky you are personally, your safest options are either enclosed transport or created transport.
Explanation of the Cheapest Transport Service- Open Air Shipping.
Open air shipping is another common way you can get your bike transported to its destination. However, unlike enclosed or crated transport, your bike will be slightly exposed to the elements. Typically, drivers will travel at their discretion and if it looks as if rough weather is approaching, they will more than likely pull off to a safe location. Keeping your bike safe from the elements might delay the arrival time so make sure to ask for a tracking number to keep tabs on your bike.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Wilkes-Barre motorcycle shipping cost?
For a standard motorcycle, Wilkes-Barre shipping typically runs about $300-$500 under 500 miles, $450-$850 for 500-2,000 miles, and $700-$1,000 for 2,000+ miles. Enclosed transport usually costs more than open service because the bike travels inside a covered trailer. Motorcycle size, operability, transport method, exact ZIP codes, and requested timing account for most quote differences. A1's motorcycle shipping cost calculator can narrow the estimate using your actual bike and route.
How long does motorcycle shipping take in Wilkes-Barre?
Motorcycle shipping from Wilkes-Barre typically takes 1-4 loaded transit days under 500 miles, 3-8 days for 500-2,000 miles, and 7-10 days for 2,000+ miles. Pickup scheduling happens before loaded transit and should be treated as a separate window. As of August 12, 2026, Wilkes-Barre says its South Main Street Streetscape Improvement Project began August 11, so pickups on or near South Main Street should confirm trailer access and the meeting point before the driver arrives.
Can I track my motorcycle shipment in Wilkes-Barre?
Yes. A Wilkes-Barre motorcycle shipment can use A1's tracking tools after pickup, although the type and frequency of updates depend on the assigned carrier. The car shipping tracker can provide shipment status, while carriers may also use live GPS, checkpoint updates, texts, or direct driver contact. Keep your booking number available when checking status or contacting dispatch. A gap between location pings can occur when a carrier uses scheduled check-ins instead of continuous GPS.
Is enclosed motorcycle transport worth it for Wilkes-Barre riders?
Enclosed motorcycle transport is worth considering in Wilkes-Barre when you want less exposure to rain, road debris, and road spray, especially for a vintage, custom, restored, or high-value bike. Open transport usually costs less and can suit a standard motorcycle when full trailer coverage is not a priority. Enclosed trailers surround the motorcycle during transit, though availability may be tighter than with open service. A1's enclosed transport guide explains the protection and equipment differences before you choose.
How should I prepare a motorcycle for shipping from Wilkes-Barre?
Prepare a motorcycle for shipping by cleaning it, photographing its condition, removing loose items, checking tire pressure, and following the carrier's fuel and alarm instructions. Many motorcycle carriers ask for about one-quarter tank or less and want alarms disabled before loading. Tell the carrier before pickup if the bike does not run, roll, steer, or brake so it can arrange suitable loading equipment. Keep the keys and condition photos available for the driver's pickup inspection.
