Your Ride Deserves aSpecialist. Not Just a Carrier.

Motorcycles are not cars. They need specialized equipment, experienced handlers, and a transport company that understands exactly what they are dealing with.

The Difference

A Motorcycle Is Not a Car.
It Should Not Be Shipped Like One.

Most transport companies treat motorcycles like small cars. Safeeds does not.

The Wrong Way

A pickup window is hope.

  • Exposed to wind blast at highway speeds
  • Road debris hits directly at 70mph
  • Rain, hail, dust — no protection for paint or chrome
  • Other vehicles can contact your bike
  • Inexperienced handlers, wrong securing methods
Result: Scratches, paint damage, tipped bikes.
FASTEST

The Safeeds Way

A guaranteed date is a promise.

  • Specialized motorcycle crating or soft-tie systems
  • Dedicated motorcycle carriers or enclosed trailers
  • Experienced motorcycle transport handlers
  • Front wheel chock — bike cannot tip
  • Full weather, debris, and vehicle protection
  • Padding on all contact points
Result: Arrives exactly as it left. Not a scratch.

Your Motorcycle Represents Thousands Of Dollars — And For Many Riders much more than that. It Deserves Specialist Transport.

If Your Move Has a Hard Date — You Need This

HOME CLOSINGHOME CLOSING

You close Thursday. Car needed Friday.

Your entire move depends on pickup happening on time. A guaranteed date is as certain as your closing date.

NEW JOBNEW JOB

You start Monday. Car needs to be there.

A 5-day pickup window does not work when your first day is a fixed date. A guaranteed pickup date does.

LEASE END DATELEASE END DATE

Lease ends Friday. Car must be gone.

A carrier that might show up next week is not a solution. A guaranteed date before your lease ends is.

MILITARY PCSMILITARY PCS

Hard reporting date. No flexibility.

Military families need transport that works on military timelines — not 5-day windows.

SNOWBIRDSNOWBIRD

Flight booked. Hotel booked. Car must follow.

Your car needs to leave on a specific date to arrive when you do. Guaranteed pickup makes your departure organized.

DEALER & AUCTIONDEALER & AUCTION

Buyers waiting. Lot clearance deadline.

Dealer inventory moves on schedules — not pickup windows. Safeeds guaranteed pickup works on dealer time.

5 Layers of Protection

Five Layers of Protection on Every Motorcycle Shipment

This is exactly how your motorcycle is protected from loading to delivery.

Wheel Chock System

Professional front wheel chock holds the wheel firmly — preventing forward, backward, or side-to-side movement. The bike cannot roll, tip, or shift regardless of road conditions.

Soft Tie Securing

Soft tie straps looped through the frame — never around painted surfaces or chrome. Every contact point padded. Load distributed evenly across the frame.

Enclosed Transport

Every motorcycle travels inside an enclosed trailer — completely sealed from weather, road debris, dust, wind blast, and all outside elements.

Zero Contact Policy

Your motorcycle has dedicated space. No other vehicles or cargo loaded where it could contact your bike. Zero touching. Zero rubbing. Zero scratching.

Specialist Handlers

Carriers with verified motorcycle transport experience. They understand weight distribution, balance points, and care requirements for different bike types.

Every one of these five protection layers is standard on every Safeeds motorcycle shipment. Not optional. Not an upgrade. Standard.

Prepare Your Motorcycle

Day before: clean bike, photograph every angle including chrome, drain fuel below quarter tank, disconnect battery, remove loose accessories.

Specialist Pickup At Your Door

Specialist carrier arrives. Full inspection together — every detail on Bill of Lading. Loaded using professional wheel chock and soft tie system.

Your Bike Is On The Way

Travels in enclosed trailer — fully protected. Direct carrier contact. Safeeds support 7 days a week. Real-time updates on request.

Delivered To Your Door

Carrier calls before arrival. Inspect motorcycle with handler. Compare to pickup Bill of Lading. Sign. Your bike is home.

Prepare Your Motorcycle for Shipping — Complete Guide

Ten minutes of preparation protects your motorcycle completely.

  1. Photograph Every Detail

    Front, back, both sides, chrome details, custom paint, and any existing marks. Take a short video too.

  2. Clean Your Motorcycle

    A clean bike lets you see and document every existing mark clearly before the handler arrives.

  3. Drain to Under Quarter Tank

    Most carriers require fuel below a quarter tank for safety. Remove portable fuel containers.

  4. Disconnect Battery / Turn Off Petcock

    Prevents electrical drain and fuel leaks during transit.

  5. Remove Loose Accessories

    Saddlebags, tail bags, phone mounts, GPS units, and any accessories that could shift during transit.

  6. Have Title or Registration Ready

    Some states require documentation for motorcycle transport.

Pro Tip

Take a 2-minute video walking around your entire motorcycle before the handler arrives. Narrate what you see. This is the most powerful protection you have for your motorcycle shipment.

Is Open Transport Right for Your Vehicle?

We offer both options. Here is our completely honest recommendation.

Enclosed trailer motorcycle transport
PREMIUM CHOICE

Enclosed Transport

Maximum Protection

Your motorcycle travels inside a fully sealed enclosed trailer — completely protected from weather, debris, wind blast, and all outside elements.

  • Motorcycles are more vulnerable to wind damage than cars
  • Chrome and custom paint susceptible to road debris
  • A single rock at 70mph can damage a fairing or tank
  • Cost difference between open and enclosed is smaller than for cars
