    Who would be a good vendor to contact in regards to having a bike shipped from the Kentucky/Tennessee area to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area? Any ideas?

    Thanks..........Robb

    I used a "brokerage" kind of place; they got me a real good price. I'll dig through my email archive when I get home.

    Personally, I was flabbergasted by the VARIANCE in prices for what is essentially the same service. (I had one shipped from Lake Geneva, WI to Michigan.)

    This Company provides a Platform, Tie-downs and additional Crate options.

    The cost of shipping depends on many variables.
    Hub -to- Hub service is a wise choice.

    Other options you should consider:
    Moving Companies holding a load until the truck is full.
    Moving company dispatchers communicate with each other to FIND something that will complete a load.

    To ship with a Moving Company ...
    You Bike needs to be prepped.
    NO Fluids.
    No Fuel
    No Battery
    Accessories removed and boxed.
