Lowell’s most experienced motorcycle shipper
AA Motorcycle Shipping has been coordinating motorcycle transport since 1983 — before most shipping companies in this space even existed. Our Lowell terminal on Industrial Avenue puts a professional freight operation in the heart of the Merrimack Valley, connecting Massachusetts riders to our nationwide network of 47 terminals. We coordinate your shipment start to finish, which means you’re never passed off to a faceless broker or left wondering which carrier has your bike.
New England riding seasons are short, and many Massachusetts riders use that as a reason to ship south for the winter — to Florida, Arizona, Texas, and the Carolinas. We handle these seasonal shipments regularly and know how to time pickups to match your travel schedule. Whether you’re shipping your Harley to Miami for the winter or sending a sport bike to a buyer in California, our Lowell team coordinates every step of the process.
Lowell’s position near I-495 and Route 3 means your motorcycle benefits from strong freight movement between New England and the rest of the country. We have consistent carrier coverage on the Northeast-to-Southeast and Northeast-to-Midwest corridors, which translates to reliable transit times and fewer delays. For cross-country runs to California or the Pacific Northwest, we line up staged handoffs so your bike moves efficiently across the country.
With over 3,000 verified customer reviews and more than four decades in business, our reputation is built on one thing: doing what we say we’ll do. If you want to talk through your shipment before booking, call us at 1-888-347-1391 — we’re happy to answer questions and help you choose the right service for your bike and your route.

-
What is 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 cost-effective and appropriate for the majority of motorcycles. Palletized shipping mounts your bike on a wooden pallet and crates it before loading, providing additional protection during transit. It’s recommended for high-value, low-clearance, or especially delicate bikes. Neither method involves an open car hauler — your motorcycle is always in an enclosed trailer.
-
Is there a military discount for Lowell area riders?
Yes. We offer a military discount for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. Hanscom Air Force Base and other military installations in the greater Lowell area mean we regularly assist with PCS moves and deployment shipments. To apply the military rate, request it via live chat or call 1-888-347-1391.
-
How should I prepare my gas tank before shipping from Lowell?
Reduce the fuel level to approximately one-quarter tank or less before your drop-off or scheduled pickup. This is a freight carrier requirement for fire safety. You don’t need to completely drain the tank — just avoid arriving with a full one. Also remove any loose accessories, bags, or personal items from the motorcycle before shipping.
-
Can you ship a motorcycle I purchased online or at auction?
Absolutely. We regularly coordinate pickup from private sellers, dealerships, and auction houses for buyers in the Lowell area. Provide us with the seller’s address and your delivery address, and we handle the coordination from there. Get a quote or call us to go over the details of your specific purchase.
