Most Popular · Best Value

Open Transport

The most common and cost-effective way to ship a motorcycle. Your bike is secured on an open flatbed alongside other vehicles. Ideal for standard motorcycles in good condition.

Best For:

Sport bikes, standard cruisers, commuter bikes, touring motorcycles

Most Popular · Best Value

Enclosed Transport

Your motorcycle is transported inside a fully enclosed trailer, protected from weather, road debris, and visibility. The premium option for high-value, classic, and custom bikes.

Best For:

Harley-Davidson, custom choppers, vintage classics, high-value sport bikes

Factors That Affect Your Motorcycle Shipping Cost

Distance

Longer hauls cost more in total, but often less per mile. Short-haul routes under 300 miles carry a minimum rate.

Carrier Type

Enclosed shipping costs 50–80% more than open transport due to limited availability and higher overhead.

Bike Weight & Size

Heavier, wider, or custom-built motorcycles may require specialized equipment and affect carrier pricing.

Season & Availability

Peak riding season (spring/summer) and regional demand can temporarily increase rates. Book early for best pricing.

"I’ve used several heavy haulers over the years, but these guys are on a different level. We needed a John Deere 350G excavator moved across state lines on a tight schedule for a new job site. The logistics of the RGN trailer and the oversized permits were handled flawlessly. The driver was professional, communicated the whole time, and delivered the machine right to the yard in perfect condition. They are now our go-to for all our heavy machinery moves!"

Common Heavy Equipment Shipping Questions

How much does it cost to ship heavy equipment?

Pricing is determined by the total weight, dimensions, and distance. Short-distance hauls for standard machinery typically range from $4 to $5 per mile, while long-haul transport for heavy iron ranges from $1.50 to $3 per mile. Oversized loads requiring permits or pilot cars will incur additional specialized fees.

We match your equipment to the specific trailer required for a safe haul. This includes Step-Decks for tall loads, Lowboys for heavy machinery that needs a low center of gravity, and Removable Goosenecks (RGN) for equipment that needs to be driven directly onto the trailer.

Any equipment exceeding standard road dimensions (typically 8.6ft wide or 13.6ft high) requires specialized oversized permits. Our team manages the entire logistics process: including securing state-by-state permits and coordinating escort vehicles or pilot cars when required by law.

Preparation is key to a safe journey. You should clean the machinery to ensure a clear inspection, lower all booms or buckets to the trailer floor, and secure any loose parts or attachments. We also recommend covering exhaust stacks and disconnecting batteries for long-distance hauls.

Yes, every shipment is covered by comprehensive cargo insurance tailored to the high value of industrial equipment. Our carriers are fully licensed, U.S.D.O.T verified, and maintain high-limit liability coverage to ensure your assets are protected from pickup to delivery.

We can transport inoperable machinery, but it requires specialized loading equipment like a winch or a crane. Please notify your specialist during the quote process so we can ensure the assigned carrier has the necessary tools to safely load and unload your equipment.

Our heavy haul network supports a wide range of sectors: including construction, agriculture, mining, and industrial manufacturing. We regularly ship excavators, bulldozers, harvesters, tractors, and large-scale factory components nationwide.

We provide true door-to-door service, which includes delivery directly to active job sites, farms, dealerships, or storage yards. We coordinate with your site manager to ensure the driver has the proper clearance and space needed for safe unloading.

The All-In-One Solution: Your Search Ends Here

Secure Auto Shipping is the only stop you need for total transport security. As a fully licensed Broker and Carrier, we don’t just find a truck, we own the process from start to finish.

Asset-Based Authority

Most companies in this industry are either just a broker with no hands-on experience or a carrier with limited reach. Secure Auto Shipping is a rare Asset-Based Authority with premier Carrier Affiliate status.

This unique hybrid model provides us with superior route oversight and the specialized insight needed to manage every detail of your transport.

While standard brokers simply hand off your vehicle to unknown third parties, our asset-based history and affiliate network allow us to oversee the entire logistics chain from our own 24/7 dispatch desk.

You get the vast reach of a national network combined with the accountability, professional vetting, and ‘boots on the ground’ expertise that only a team with a carrier background can provide.

Zero Financial Risk

We believe you shouldn’t have to pay for a promise, only for results. That is why we never charge upfront deposits or hidden broker fees. Your financial security is our priority, which is why we also offer a 100% money-back guarantee if we cannot satisfy your specific transport needs.

By removing the financial barrier, we ensure that our interests are perfectly aligned with yours: we only succeed when your vehicle is safely secured and on its way.

Proven Integrity

Integrity isn’t just a word we use; it’s a standard we’ve met for over 12 years. Since 2014, we have maintained an industry-leading 99.7% service score on MoveCars.com based on over 1,500 verified customer ratings.

This history of transparency means you aren’t gambling with a new or unproven company. You are partnering with a veteran team that has built its reputation on honest communication and reliable delivery, one car at a time.

Full Protection

We treat every vehicle as if it were our own. Whether you are shipping a daily driver in an open trailer or a high-value classic in a climate-controlled enclosed unit, your vehicle is fully insured from the moment it is loaded until it is back in your hands.

We do not hide our coverage details in fine print; we provide verified carrier insurance documents upfront so you have total peace of mind. No matter the make, model, or value, your asset is protected by the highest standards in the industry.
