Does anyone know any shipping/trucking companies that haul ATV’s across the country? I am looking for one that is fair priced.

 

I started to look into this when I was selling my blaster on Ebay. Luckily a guy bought it close enough where I could get a liitle extra in gas money. Before you ship it you have to drain all the fluids. Next go to Polaris or another dealership and see if they have any crates. (easier than building one yourself) Then call a shipping compant to get quotes. The one I see most people use is forward air. I don't know if you have to bring it to them or if they will pick up at your home. That is all the farther I got inot checking it out. Hope it gets you started.

 

Why do you have to drain all the fluids?

 

The reason I was told that the companies do not want any leaks on their trucks or aircraft. I had a motor shipped to me recently and the UPS guy told me that the shipper could get a fine for not draining the fluids.

 

That makes sense. Thanks

 

I bought a quad off of ebay in Iowa and had it shipped to Washington state. It cost like $400+/-. These are the shippers I used http://www.jcmotors.com/shipping_atv.htm They had good communication with me and will ship quads uncrated. As far as draining the fluids goes it is considered hazardous material and is illegal to ship without proper permits. Mine was shipped with all the fluids still in it though.

How was your experience buying your ATV on e-bay? I would like to buy a machine on e-bay or cycletradder but it is hard to justify what condition it’s in. I wouldn’t want to get a big surprise. It is tempting. Thanks

 

www.fowardair.com is the cheapest!!!
