Professional handling for every bike
Professional Motorcycle Transport
General freight carriers treat motorcycles like cargo. We treat them like what they are: precision machines that owners pour time, money, and passion into. Our motorcycle shipping service uses enclosed trailers, soft-strap securing, and trained crews who understand the difference between a vintage Triumph and a new Ducati.
Bike Types We Transport
Enclosed Transport Protection
Your motorcycle travels inside a climate-protected enclosed trailer, shielded from road debris, weather, dust, and UV exposure. No open-air transport means no risk of chips, scratches, or sun damage to paint and chrome.
Soft-Strap Tie-Down Protocol
We use soft-loop straps that wrap around handlebars and frame points without scratching chrome or paint. No metal hooks against your bike. Four-point minimum securing with tension distributed to prevent stress on any single attachment point.
Custom Crating for High-Value Bikes
Vintage, collectible, and high-value motorcycles can be custom-crated with foam-lined protection and soft blanket wrapping. Ideal for rare bikes, auction purchases, or museum-quality machines where dedicated protection matters.
Professional equipment
Motorcycle Transport Equipment
Proper motorcycle transport requires specialized equipment that general freight carriers do not carry. Our trucks are equipped specifically for motorcycle shipping.
Enclosed Trailers
Climate-protected enclosed trailers shield your motorcycle from road debris, rain, dust, and UV exposure. The enclosed environment also prevents theft visibility and protects chrome from oxidation during transit. Especially important for the California-Arizona corridor where desert conditions and intense sun can damage exposed bikes.
Wheel Chocks
Dedicated motorcycle wheel chocks cradle the front wheel and lock it in place. This provides the stable base that allows proper securing without requiring excessive strap tension. Chocks are sized for different tire widths, from narrow sport bike tires to wide cruiser rubber.
Soft-Loop Straps
Soft-loop straps wrap around handlebars, triple trees, and frame points without metal-to-metal contact. The nylon loops protect chrome, paint, and powder coating from scratches that metal hooks would cause. We use ratchet straps with soft loops, not bungee cords that can slip or snap.
Professional Loading Ramps
Wide, non-slip loading ramps with proper incline angles allow safe rolling of motorcycles into the trailer. Ramps are rated for heavy touring bikes and trikes. For non-running bikes, we use hydraulic lift gates to load without pushing up inclines.
Interstate motorcycle shipping
California to Arizona Shipping
The California-Arizona corridor is one of our most frequent motorcycle shipping routes. Whether you are relocating, bringing a bike to a vacation home, or purchasing from an out-of-state seller, we handle the entire journey with our own crews and equipment.
Dedicated Corridor Service
Ontrack is the only moving company with full operations in both the Bay Area and Phoenix metro. Your motorcycle is picked up by our crew and delivered by our crew, no handoffs to third-party carriers.
Desert Climate Protection
The Arizona desert presents unique challenges: extreme heat, intense UV, and dust storms. Enclosed transport protects your bike from all three. We schedule pickups and deliveries to avoid leaving bikes exposed during peak heat hours.
Interstate Authority
We hold USDOT #2551548 for interstate transport and California license CAL-T190721. Full insurance documentation is available for your records.
