Door-to-Door
We pick up at your home, storage unit, or dealership anywhere in Pennsylvania and deliver directly to the destination address — no terminal visit required on either end.

Non-palletized vs. palletized motorcycle shipping
We never use open car haulers. Every motorcycle we ship travels inside an enclosed freight trailer — the only question is whether it rides on a pallet or not.
Non-palletized (standard)
Your motorcycle is loaded upright into an enclosed freight trailer and secured with straps and wheel chocks. This is our standard method — secure, reliable, and cost-effective for most shipments.
Palletized (premium)
Your motorcycle is bolted to a custom wooden pallet before loading, adding an extra layer of stability and protection. Recommended for lower-clearance bikes, custom builds, or long cross-country hauls where extra peace of mind is worth it.

Pennsylvania’s trusted motorcycle shipping specialist
Pennsylvania riders have a lot of ground to cover — from the dense urban corridors around Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to the winding rural roads of the Pocono Mountains and the endless stretches of farmland in between. Whether you’re relocating, buying a bike from a private seller across the country, or sending a motorcycle to a winter destination, AA Motorcycle Shipping has been handling these moves since 1983. That’s over four decades of experience navigating the freight networks that connect Pennsylvania to every corner of the United States.
We are not a broker that passes your shipment to the lowest bidder and disappears. We are not a carrier that owns its own trucks and is limited by its own fleet. We sit in the middle — coordinating every shipment through Central Dispatch, selecting qualified carriers, and managing the move from the moment you book until your motorcycle is delivered. Our two Pennsylvania terminals, in the Philadelphia area (Telford) and the Pittsburgh area (Freedom), give you flexible options for drop-off and pickup throughout the state.
Every motorcycle we ship travels in an enclosed freight trailer. We do not use open car haulers — period. Your bike is either loaded non-palletized (secured upright with straps and wheel chocks) or palletized (bolted to a wooden pallet for extra stability). Both methods keep your motorcycle protected from road debris, weather, and the kind of exposure that comes with open transport. Whether you’re shipping a vintage Harley-Davidson, a modern sport bike, or a custom build, it goes in enclosed.
With 47 terminals nationwide and a carrier network that covers all 50 states, we move motorcycles from Pennsylvania to California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and everywhere in between.

What Pennsylvania customers are saying
“My experience with AA Motorcycle Shipping was excellent. My Softail HD is spotless with no blemishes – it was picked up in Wisconsin and dropped off in California in the same condition. The staff and drivers were kind and professional. I would highly recommend them.”
Pennsylvania motorcycle shipping — frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to ship a motorcycle to or from Pennsylvania?
Costs vary by distance. Short regional routes like Philadelphia to Newark or New York start around $525. Mid-range routes such as Philadelphia to Miami or Dallas range from $884–$955. Long-haul routes to California are typically around $1,100. Use our instant quote tool for your exact route — no email required.
How long does it take to ship a motorcycle from Pennsylvania?
Transit times depend on distance. Short regional routes (Philadelphia to New York or Newark) typically take 2–3 days. Mid-distance routes to Florida or Texas take about 1 week. Cross-country routes to California or Arizona take approximately 2 weeks. Your coordinator will provide an estimated pickup window when you book.
What is the difference between palletized and non-palletized motorcycle shipping?
Non-palletized is the standard method — your motorcycle is secured upright in an enclosed freight trailer using straps and wheel chocks. Palletized adds a wooden pallet base that the bike is bolted to for extra protection and stability. Both methods use enclosed trailers. We never use open car haulers for motorcycles.
Does AA Motorcycle Shipping have terminals in Pennsylvania?
Yes — we have two Pennsylvania terminals. The Philadelphia-area terminal is at 425 Schoolhouse Road, Telford, PA 18969. The Pittsburgh-area terminal is at 121 Tri County Drive, Building 5, Freedom, PA 15042. Terminal-to-terminal service is available at both locations and can reduce your overall shipping cost.
Is there a military discount for motorcycle shipping in Pennsylvania?
Yes. We offer a military discount for active duty service members and veterans shipping to or from Pennsylvania. Mention the discount when you contact us to book — it’s applied upon request.
Does my gas tank need to be empty before shipping?
Your tank should be no more than one-quarter full at pickup. This is a standard freight safety requirement. You do not need to drain it completely — just bring it close to empty before the carrier arrives.
Can I ship a motorcycle I bought online from a Pennsylvania seller?
Absolutely. We handle online-purchase pickups regularly — from eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, dealer websites, and private sales. You don’t need to be present at pickup. Just provide the seller’s address and any access instructions when you book, and we’ll coordinate directly with them.
Is door-to-door motorcycle shipping available throughout Pennsylvania?
Yes. Door-to-door service is available statewide across Pennsylvania — including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie, Harrisburg, Scranton, Reading, Bethlehem, and all surrounding areas. We coordinate your shipment from pickup to final delivery, anywhere in the state.
