Need to ship a bike.......

[fixit3546]

I know a while back there was a post that had some info on shipping a bike and some companies to use; I can't find the post.

 

Any help finding it.

 

Jake and myself have a little CB360 that is a project bike, he wants me to ship it to him so he will have something to play with.

Get in touch with Todd (86er) He just sent one north out of Georgia to another member. See if he can give you details.

I recommend the Haulbikes that Eck posted up, I had a guy use them to ship a bike he bought from me. I was VERY impressed with the rig and the professionalism in which they straped the bike down. I wouldn't hesitate a second to use them if I was shipping a bike.

I sent Eagleeye an 86 XL250R on USFHoland (his shipper). I took it to USFH on Tues. afternoon and he had the bike at noon on Thurs. Fairly cheap too, but he had connections. Check out this thread. Look what I got from Georgia

 

Since we had to take the bike during rush hour in the ATL, after we dropped it off we found a bar and got in it to kill some time. We left there at about 8:00pm. We joked, as we passed a couple of USFH trucks on 285, "Hey maybe the bike's in that one!". It must have been since Steve got it so quick!

Thanks Fellas, I'll give 'em a try.

Fixit,

You will need two things to make this work: A contact with your local USF Holland dispatcher, and most importantly a business who has a contract with USF Holland. I was able to use my companys discount with them. Unloaded it right at our loading dock. If you can't get a company discount, don't even bother. It's waaay expensive.

Good Luck,

Steve
