A few months ago I shipped a Multi from CO to San Diego. I looked into six nationwide shippers. There was a roughly $200 difference in quote between the high and the low. Reviews were generally good for all, but mixed as well. I used Haulbikes, who were on the cheaper end but have a reputation for motorcycle care (and good reviews in a Duc forum). They also have a reputation for long shipping times (both pickup and delivery). All these were confirmed as the bike arrived in proper condition but after almost 2 months (and over 3 weeks past the outside window). It was during a holiday period and the driver said his business has been up over 20% in the past year. My biggest issue was lack of communication - I can be extremely patient if I at least know something is happening and someone is on it. I had to badger for information repeatedly. Per past list recommendations, Federal would appear to be the premium choice. Others are motorcycleshippers, keyboard, 1aamotorcycleshipping and Uship (broker open to many).

My contact at Federal is gone now so I’m not sure Federal is an automatic choice anymore. I’ve used Haulbikes too but same thing, got the bike eventually but at one point they didn’t even know where it was. The missing bike was a factory TT race bike so I was not so calm about it. Eventually it showed up out of the blue, no damage, but way past the promised arrival window.

Ha - you are so right! That was going to be the plan, but between peak covid travel concerns and snow/temps in CO I ultimately opted for shipping.

I hate to say this but I ended up buying a trailer for moving my bikes when I moved from GA to PA. It was cheaper.
