Choose the Shipping Service That Works for You
We offer three ways to ship your motorcycle — whether you want maximum convenience, cost savings, or a combination of both. All options are available from our Grand Rapids terminal and coordinated by us start to finish.
🚪
Door-to-Door
We pick up your motorcycle at your home, business, or storage facility in Grand Rapids and deliver it directly to the destination address. No need to visit a terminal — the most convenient option for most customers.
🔁
Terminal-to-Door / Door-to-Terminal
Drop your bike at our Grand Rapids terminal and have it delivered to the door at the destination — or have it picked up from an address and delivered to a terminal near the recipient. A great middle-ground option that can reduce costs.
🏭
Terminal-to-Terminal
The most economical option — drop your motorcycle at our Grand Rapids terminal and pick it up at the terminal nearest to your destination. Ideal for budget-conscious shippers who don’t mind the extra trip at each end.
Non-Palletized vs. Palletized Motorcycle Shipping
We offer two freight methods for transporting your motorcycle. Both are handled inside enclosed freight trailers — your bike is never placed on an open car hauler. Choose the method that best fits your bike and budget.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle is loaded directly onto the trailer floor and secured with professional-grade straps. This is our standard shipping method — widely used, reliable, and cost-effective for most motorcycles.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is mounted on a wood pallet and crated for additional protection during transit. This is the preferred option for rare, high-value, or show-quality bikes. Ask about palletized shipping when you get your quote.

Can I drop my motorcycle off at the Grand Rapids terminal same day?
Yes — our Grand Rapids terminal at 618 32nd St SE accepts same-day drop-offs. However, you must place your order online first and receive your booking number before arriving. The terminal cannot accept drop-offs without a booking number on file.
What’s the difference between palletized and non-palletized motorcycle shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your bike is secured directly to the freight trailer floor using professional straps. Palletized shipping mounts the motorcycle on a wood pallet and crates it for added protection. Both methods use enclosed freight trailers. Palletized is recommended for show-quality or high-value motorcycles.
Is a military discount available for Grand Rapids shipments?
Yes. A military discount is available upon request. Simply mention your military status via live chat when booking and we’ll apply the discount to your order. We appreciate your service.
How should I prepare my motorcycle’s gas tank before shipping?
Your gas tank should be reduced to approximately ¼ full or less before shipping. Freight regulations require this for safety. You don’t need to drain it completely — just bring it down from a full tank before drop-off or before the driver arrives for pickup.
Can you ship a motorcycle I purchased online to Grand Rapids?
Absolutely. We handle online motorcycle purchases regularly — whether the seller is a private party, dealer, or auction house. We coordinate pickup from the seller’s location and can deliver to your door in Grand Rapids or have it ready for pickup at our local terminal. Just let us know the pickup address when you get your quote.
Is door-to-door motorcycle shipping available in Grand Rapids?
Yes. Door-to-door service is available throughout the Grand Rapids metro area and most of Michigan. We pick up from your home, business, garage, or storage unit and deliver to the destination address. If you prefer to drop off at our terminal instead, that option is available too. Get a quote to see pricing for both options.
