For some it is a weekend sport, for others it is a lifestyle. Either way your bike plays a major role in your life. Here at Federal, we know how much your bike means to you. That's why we take pride in providing the best care in the moving of your bike. There's nothing to be concerned about when Federal is handling it. We'll meet you at the destination with your bike safe and sound.

Once you have drained your gas and emptied your saddlebags, you are ready to turn your bike over to us. From here there are several steps that we go through in the preparation of your bike transport. We have built trust in the industry by consistently sticking to what works best for us.

Before turning your bike over to us, we ask that you drain the gas from the tank and get the level as low as possible. This can be done easily with any type of siphoning device and helps make the bike lighter for shipping.

We also ask that you remove any of your belongings from the saddlebags prior to shipping.

Loading ramps can prove to be a risky way to load a bike that weighs hundreds of pounds. That's why Federal only uses lift gates allowing your bike to stay completely still when moving from the ground to the truck and vice versa.

Thorough inventory forms are drawn up upon shipping requests. Customers always receive complete inventory documentation prior to shipping.

Once your bike is in the truck, it is carefully loaded onto a specially designed pallet and strapped down solid. If that isn't enough, we ship the bikes in air ride trailers that absorb road vibration.

Every bike is double and sometimes triple checked before any vehicle movement begins.
