Transporting Motorcycles, Boats, RVs, and Non-Standard Vehicles

How To Transport Motorcycles, Boats, RVs & Non-Standard Vehicles

Auto transport isn’t just for sedans and SUVs. Many customers need to ship:

  • Motorcycles

  • Boats & jet skis

  • RVs & campers

  • ATVs & UTVs

  • Trailers

  • Lifted or oversized trucks

  • Classic or custom-built vehicles

These require specialized carriers and planning.

How Motorcycle Transport Works

Motorcycles are typically shipped in one of two ways:

  • Enclosed crates or pallets

  • Enclosed trailers with mounted racks

Benefits:

Protection from weather

Minimal movement

Secure strapping

Note: Best for: Harleys, sport bikes, touring bikes, vintage models.

How Boat Transport Works

Boat transportation depends on:

  • Length

  • Weight

  • Hull type

  • Trailer included or not

Note: Some require permits and pilot vehicles if oversized. Small boats/jet skis are often transported on flatbeds or special trailers.

RV & Camper Transport

RVs and travel trailers can be:

  • Driven by a professional driver

  • Towed

  • Transported on a large carrier

Important considerations:

  • Height & width

  • Slide-outs

  • Weight

  • Added insurance


Oversized & Modified Vehicle Considerations

Vehicles that are lifted, widened, lowered, or stretched need special handling. These may require:

  • Enclosed trailer

  • Flatbed

  • Customized tie-down solution

  • Route & permit planning
