Popular Motorcycle Shipping Routes Through St. Louis
St. Louis sits at the geographic heart of the country, making it one of the busiest freight corridors in the Midwest. Whether you’re shipping east to the coast, west to California, or south through Texas, our Earth City terminal connects to all major routes via Central Dispatch. These are some of the most frequently booked lanes through our St. Louis facility.
Motorcycle Shipping Services from St. Louis
We offer four service combinations to fit your schedule and budget.

Choose the option that works best for where your bike is and where it needs to go.
Door-to-Door
We pick up from your address in the St. Louis area and deliver directly to the destination address. The most convenient option for riders who want a fully hands-off experience.
Terminal-to-Door
Drop your motorcycle at our Earth City terminal — same day, once your order is placed — and we deliver it to a door address at the destination. Saves on pickup fees if you can bring the bike in yourself.
Door-to-Terminal
We pick up from your address in the St. Louis metro and deliver to a terminal near the destination. Ideal when the recipient prefers to pick up locally rather than wait for door delivery.
Non-Palletized vs. Palletized Motorcycle Shipping
AA Motorcycle Shipping moves bikes two ways: non-palletized (our standard method) and palletized (our premium method). Both travel inside enclosed freight trailers — your motorcycle is never loaded onto an open car hauler. The right choice depends on your bike’s value, your timeline, and how much protection you want during transit.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle is secured upright inside an enclosed freight trailer alongside other freight. This is our most common and cost-effective method, used for the majority of shipments we coordinate every day. Bikes are strapped securely and travel with professional freight handlers throughout the journey.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is mounted on a pallet and crated or wrapped before loading. This method provides an additional layer of protection and is preferred for high-value bikes, custom builds, or riders who want maximum peace of mind. Palletized shipments are still fully enclosed — never on an open trailer.

What is the difference between palletized and non-palletized motorcycle shipping?Non-palletized is our standard method — your bike is secured upright inside an enclosed freight trailer. Palletized means your motorcycle is mounted on a pallet and given additional protective wrapping before loading. Both methods use enclosed trailers; neither uses an open car hauler.

Do I need to drain the gas tank before shipping my motorcycle?Yes. Freight regulations require your gas tank to be no more than ¼ full before drop-off or pickup. We also recommend removing any loose accessories, personal items, or aftermarket bags that are not securely attached to the motorcycle. These steps help ensure your bike is cleared for transport without delays.
-
Can you ship a motorcycle I purchased online from a private seller?Absolutely. Shipping online motorcycle purchases is one of the most common requests we receive. The seller drops the bike at the nearest terminal or schedules a pickup, and we deliver it to your door in St. Louis — or to our Earth City terminal for your pickup.
