🔄

Shipping methods

Non-palletized vs palletized motorcycle shipping

We ship motorcycles two ways: non-palletized (standard) and palletized (premium). Both methods use enclosed freight trailers — your bike is never on an open car hauler and is always protected from road exposure during transit.

Non-palletized motorcycle shipping

Non-palletized (standard)

Your motorcycle is loaded upright and secured with straps inside an enclosed freight trailer. Non-palletized is our standard method — reliable, widely available, and used for the vast majority of shipments from Lowell. Most bikes qualify, and it’s the most cost-effective approach.

Palletized motorcycle shipping

Palletized (premium)

Your motorcycle is mounted and crated on a wooden pallet before being loaded into an enclosed trailer. Palletized shipping adds an extra layer of protection and is recommended for high-value, low-clearance, or particularly fragile bikes. Ask us whether palletized is the right choice for your motorcycle.

Why AA Motorcycle Shipping

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.

Due to some communication failures, we were initially sent to the wrong address in Sacramento to drop off my '14 Ultra Limited. After several frantic calls to AA Shipping in San Diego, we finally reached the Valley Relocation and Storage dispatcher who went out of her way to find us in that industrial complex. Danielle was fantastic!! Once she took control of the situation, I was able to ride the bike onto the custom pallet, warehouse gentlemen (super nice and real experts) carefully and expertly strapped the bike down, and my wife and I began our own drive across the country. We arrived in Massachusetts in 6 days; we got a phone call the following day--the bike arrived at the Sterling terminal in Lowell, MA on the 7th day! There, the guys were incredibly helpful getting the bike's battery jumped started. I can honestly say that you could do a lot worse with other motorcycle shippers, but you couldn't do better than AA Shipping. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

AMAZING service!. Julia started off by helping me navigate the on line process, then responded quickly to any questions I had throughout the transport. When a possible additional charge was suggested, Julia was able to mitigate it. My vehicle arrived in perfect condition, and the driver was very careful to unload it with great care. I could not be more pleased with the overall experience. Thank you, AA.

Fantastic service from start to finish. I contacted another company before them and was quoted nearly double the price. These guys were professional, affordable, and communicated with me throughout the entire process from pickup to delivery. No hidden fees, no surprises, and my bike arrived without any issues. I highly recommend them to anyone needing motorcycle transport.

I was extremely hesitant to ship my motorcycle from San Diego to Oregon. The thought of pre-paying $1,000 for strangers to come and load my bike up in their box truck and drive away, hoping to see them again a few days later, made me sick to my stomach. I'm so happy I was absolutely wrong to have any negative thoughts about AA Motorcycle Shipping. They were extremely professional, communicative, and took great care of my bike. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to ship a motorcycle anywhere in the country!
Response from the owner:Thanks for the trust and the business Riley.

got my motorcycle from Maryland to Utah in a pretty timely manner. I also needed some same day shipping and they were able to accommodate me by allowing me to bring the motorcycle to their shipping facility to get it on a crate. The customer service agent I called was also super helpful (she works in accounting, can't remember her name). Will absolutely use again if the need arises.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business Caelan and her name is Julia.

AA Motorcycle did a great job moving my bike from Dallas to Las Vegas. The bike was delivered efficiently without any damage which sounds simple but if you've shipped a bike before you know is not always the case. They showed a lot of flexibility by delivering it to a location which wasn't originally requested when I made the reservations. I would use AA again if I needed to move my bike again in the future.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the business

  • Can I drop my motorcycle off at the Lowell terminal today?

    Yes — same-day drop-off is available at 263 Industrial Avenue, Lowell, MA 01852. You must place your order online first to receive your booking confirmation number before arriving. We cannot accept motorcycles without a confirmed booking on file.

  • 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.
