Cross-country shipments to California or the Pacific Northwest generally take 1–2 weeks. Your confirmation email will include estimated transit information for your specific route.
-
Can I drop my motorcycle off at the Laurel terminal today?
Yes — same-day drop-off is available at our Laurel location (13200 Mid Atlantic Blvd, Brick Yard Business Park). You must place your order online first to receive your booking number before arriving. We cannot accept bikes without a confirmed booking on file.
-
What’s the difference between non-palletized and palletized shipping?
Non-palletized is our standard method — your bike is secured upright with straps inside an enclosed freight trailer. It’s reliable, cost-effective, and suitable for most motorcycles. Palletized shipping mounts your bike on a wooden pallet and crates it inside the trailer, providing an extra layer of protection. Palletized is recommended for high-value, low-clearance, or particularly fragile bikes. Neither method uses an open car hauler — your motorcycle is always in an enclosed trailer.
-
Do you offer a military discount for Laurel area riders?
Yes. We offer a military discount for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. Given Laurel’s proximity to Fort Meade, Andrews Air Force Base, and other installations, we frequently assist with PCS moves and deployment shipping. Request the military rate via live chat or by calling 1-888-347-1391.
-
How should I prepare my gas tank before shipping?
Reduce the fuel level to approximately one-quarter tank or less before drop-off or scheduled pickup. This is a freight carrier requirement for fire safety reasons. You don’t need to drain the tank completely — just avoid a full tank. Beyond fuel, remove any loose accessories, tank bags, or personal items from the motorcycle before shipping.
-
Can you ship a motorcycle I bought online or at auction?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate pickup from private sellers, dealerships, and auction houses for buyers in the Laurel area. You provide us with the seller’s location and your delivery address, and we handle the rest. This is a common use case — get a quote or call us to discuss the specifics of your purchase.
-
Is door-to-door pickup available in Laurel and surrounding Maryland areas?
Yes. Door-to-door service is available throughout the greater Laurel area, including Washington DC, Baltimore, Columbia, Annapolis, Silver Spring, Bowie, Greenbelt, Rockville, and other Maryland communities.
