Where Wisconsin riders ship most
Whether you’re heading to the Southwest for winter or receiving a bike you bought online, these are the routes we run most often to and from Wisconsin.
Choose the service that fits your situation
We offer four service combinations for Wisconsin shipments. Mix and match based on your location, schedule, and budget.
Door-to-Door
We pick up your motorcycle at your home, office, or storage unit in Wisconsin and deliver it directly to the destination address. No terminal visit needed. The most convenient option for most riders.
Door-to-Terminal
We pick up your bike at your Wisconsin address and deliver it to a terminal near the destination. Great when the recipient prefers to pick up at a terminal or you want to reduce cost on the receiving end.
Terminal-to-Door
Drop your motorcycle at our Waukesha terminal and we’ll deliver it door-to-door at the destination. This lowers your Wisconsin-side cost while keeping delivery convenient at the other end.
Terminal-to-Terminal
Drop off in Waukesha, pick up at a terminal near the destination. The most economical option when both you and the recipient are close to terminals. We have 47 terminals across the country.
Non-palletized vs. palletized — what’s the difference?
AA Motorcycle Shipping offers two methods for securing and transporting your motorcycle. Here’s how they compare.
Non-Palletized (standard)
Your motorcycle is secured with straps directly to the floor of an enclosed freight trailer — the same method used by dealerships and manufacturers. It’s the most common method and works for the vast majority of bikes.
- Most cost-effective option
- Standard method for most shipments
- Motorcycle loaded and strapped by experienced handlers
- Transported in enclosed trailer — not on a car hauler
Palletized (premium)
Your motorcycle is mounted on a wooden pallet, secured with straps, and shrink-wrapped before loading. This method provides extra protection and stability, and is recommended for vintage bikes, custom builds, or bikes with low ground clearance.
- Extra protection for high-value or custom bikes
- Recommended for vintage and low-clearance motorcycles
- Pallet added at origin terminal
- Still transported in enclosed trailer

Wisconsin’s trusted motorcycle shipper since 1983
AA Motorcycle Shipping has been coordinating motorcycle shipments across the United States for over 40 years. We’re not a lead-generation broker that sells your information to multiple companies — and we’re not a direct carrier that owns a fleet of trucks. What we are is a dedicated motorcycle shipping coordinator: we manage your shipment from pickup to delivery, working with vetted carriers through Central Dispatch to make sure your bike arrives safely and on time.
Wisconsin riders ship with us for all kinds of reasons. Some are heading south for the winter, sending their Harley or cruiser to Florida or Arizona rather than letting it sit in a cold garage. Others have purchased a motorcycle through an online listing in another state and need a reliable way to get it back to Milwaukee, Madison, or Green Bay. Relocating for work, shipping a bike after buying it at auction, or sending a classic to a restoration shop across the country — we handle all of it.
Our Waukesha terminal gives Wisconsin customers a convenient local drop-off and pickup option just west of Milwaukee. Terminal service is a cost-effective choice when you’re within a reasonable drive of the location. If you’re farther out — in Eau Claire, La Crosse, the Fox Valley, or the Northwoods — door-to-door pickup means we come to you, no matter where in the state your bike is parked.
We believe in transparent pricing and honest communication. You’ll get a real quote on our website without handing over your email first. If you have questions before booking, our team is reachable at 1-888-347-1391. And once your bike is on its way, you can track it online anytime. That’s the AA Motorcycle Shipping difference — straightforward, experienced, and rider-focused.
We ship all types of motorcycles
If it has two wheels and an engine, we can most likely ship it. Here’s a sample of what Wisconsin customers ship with us:
- Harley-Davidson — Softail, Touring, Sportster, CVO, and more
- Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki — sport bikes and standard motorcycles
- BMW — R-series, S-series, adventure bikes
- Ducati, Triumph, Aprilia, and other European brands
- Indian and Victory motorcycles
- Vintage and classic motorcycles
- Custom builds and choppers
- Dirt bikes and dual-sport motorcycles (must be street-legal for door-to-door)
- Scooters and mopeds
- Electric motorcycles
Have a non-running motorcycle? That’s okay — we can ship non-runners. Let us know when you get your quote.

“My experience with AA Motorcycle Shipping was excellent. My Softail HD is spotless with no blemishes – it was picked up in Wisconsin and dropped off in California in the same condition. The staff and drivers were kind and professional. I would highly recommend them.”
Wisconsin motorcycle shipping — FAQ
-
How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle from Wisconsin?
Shipping costs from Wisconsin depend on the destination, distance, and service type (door-to-door vs. terminal). Based on recent routes, prices range from around $700 for shorter hauls like Milwaukee to Dallas, up to $1,000 for long-distance routes like Milwaukee to California or Miami. Get an instant personalized quote — no email required.
-
How long does motorcycle shipping to or from Wisconsin take?
Transit time from Wisconsin varies by destination. Shorter routes like Milwaukee to New York typically take about 5 days. Longer cross-country routes to California or the Pacific Northwest usually take 1–2 weeks. These are estimates — actual transit depends on carrier routing and availability. We’ll give you a more specific estimate when you book.
-
What is the difference between palletized and non-palletized motorcycle shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your motorcycle is strapped directly to the floor of an enclosed freight trailer. It’s cost-effective and works well for most bikes. Palletized shipping mounts your motorcycle on a wooden pallet and wraps it in shrink wrap before loading, providing extra protection. We recommend palletized for vintage bikes, custom builds, or motorcycles with very low ground clearance.
-
Does AA Motorcycle Shipping have a terminal in Wisconsin?
Yes — we have one terminal in the Milwaukee area, located at N8 W22270 Johnson Dr., Waukesha, WI 53186. Wisconsin customers who live within a reasonable drive of Waukesha can drop off or pick up their motorcycle there, which typically reduces the cost compared to door-to-door service. You can also use door-to-door pickup anywhere in the state. View the Waukesha terminal.
-
Is there a military discount for motorcycle shipping from Wisconsin?
Yes. AA Motorcycle Shipping offers a military discount for active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Mention the discount when you place your order online or when you call us at 1-888-347-1391. The discount applies to all routes, including shipments to or from Wisconsin.
-
Does my gas tank need to be empty before shipping?
We recommend keeping your gas tank at ¼ full or less for shipment. A small amount of fuel is fine and helps prevent moisture from collecting inside the tank. Completely draining the tank is not required but having a mostly full tank adds unnecessary weight and is not recommended by most carriers.
-
Can I ship a motorcycle I bought online from Wisconsin?
Absolutely. Shipping motorcycles purchased through online listings, eBay, Craigslist, or dealer auctions is one of our most common use cases. The seller just needs to have the bike ready for pickup at their address or nearest terminal. We coordinate directly with you to schedule pickup and handle delivery to your Wisconsin door. Place your order here.
-
Is door-to-door motorcycle shipping available throughout Wisconsin?
Yes — door-to-door service is available statewide in Wisconsin, including Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Appleton, Eau Claire, Wausau, La Crosse, Oshkosh, and more rural areas. If your address is accessible by a standard truck, we can typically pick up or deliver directly to you. Get a quote to confirm availability and pricing for your specific location.
