    bike shipping companies..whos the best?

    Ive used forward air...that was fine...But you need to load and unload the bike from a terminal. I cant do that this time. Need door to door service.
    Anyone have good experince with companies? Need the best, not the cheapest...
    Thanks!

    I have used daily direct a couple times. Fast, door to door service with no need for a crate.

    Yep. I just used Keyboard. They have individual palletts that the bike is strapped to and secured. Arrived safe and sound. Pretty good price as far as I was concerned, $550 from South Carolina to Boston.

    I used Keyboard as well. They were right on time. Price was competitive and like others have mentioned they use a palleting system which seems pretty bullet proof. My bike arrived exactly as it left the dealer in CA. Here's a shot of it being unloaded.

    Keyboard was $675 from southern California to VT, I guess about 3000 miles.

    I used Allied/Federal back in April to ship a Triumph 675 from San Fran to Boston. They did everything at P/U and Drop, provided crate, loaded/unloaded bike, etc. I don't remember the MSRP costs but with my AMA discount its was $625.

    I would use again and recommend.
