What is a Motorcycle Transport Service Business?

A Motorcycle Transport Service is a Commercial Transport Service enabling safe and secure motorcycle transport, usually providing enclosed or open trailer transport service, custom crating systems, soft-ties, door-to-door service, long distance/cross-country service, and track and trace for consignors including a motorcycle collector/enthusiast, motorcycle dealership or motorcycle transportation broker or freight forwarder.

They include shipping motorcycles for individuals, multiple motorcycle shipping, shipping vintage and classic motorcycles, shipping racing motorcycles, motorcycle shipping for dealers, shipping motorcycles internationally, expedited shipping for motorcycles, and programs for specialized insurance that is designed for those who want their motorcycles to be shipped safely and quickly.
They include motorcycle-only carriers, multi-vehicle transporters, art-transport companies that also distribute vintage motorcycles, motorcycle logistics brokers, and some or all the following: transport with safe loading, vehicle condition documentation, climate-controlled transport, tracking systems, insurance compliance, scheduling, customer contact, and professional demeanor.

Motorcycle Transport Services operate a fleet of enclosed transport trailers outfitted with hydraulic lift gates, soft-tie restraints, systems for tracking via GPS, motorcycle loading ramps, cameras to document the condition of each motorcycle, software for route optimization, customer management, insurance verification, and logistics coordination.

They may be vintage motorcycle transporters operating in the local area, nationwide motorcycle shipping networks, dealership motorcycle hauliers, or motorcycle transport relocation companies offering relatively complete motorcycle transport services for all kinds of motorcycles, for variable distances and timescales, and with differing levels of service.

Motorcycle Transport Service Business Market Trends and Growth Drivers

Drivers of the growth and trends in the Motorcycle Transport Service industry include the increasing number of motorcycles being sold, the increase in online sales which also require delivery options, the increase in value of classic and collectible motorcycles which require professional transport services, the focus on the safest vehicle transportation, the increasing number of insurance options, the increasing number of motorcycle dealerships that require both local and national motorcycle transport. Other drivers include demand for motorcycle events and tours, logistics and transportation of motorcycles long distances across the country, auction marketplace, consumer demand for smooth door-to-door service without damage, shipment tracking in real-time and specialized handling within the motorcycle industry.

Operators are creating fleets of enclosed trailers, adding hydraulic cargo loading, GPS tracking systems, motorcycle restraints, insurance, and meeting Department of Transportation regulations and safety standards, in order to reduce the issues they experience, improve the customer experience and improve their motorcycle transport operations. These investments reflect the trends in the specialized transport and vehicle logistics safety industries.
Also important is the concept of revenue diversification. In addition to motorcycle shipping fees, other sources of revenue for a motorcycle shipping company can include expedited delivery, enclosed trailer upgrades, additional insurance fees, crating fees, storage and warehousing, a contract for a set of motorcycle dealerships, working with auction houses, international shipping, and seasonal transport subscriptions.

Geography also plays a role. Firms that operate from well-located terminals, have networks of motorcycle dealerships and auction houses, own transport networks on major transportation corridors, or have access to qualified drivers will have an advantage in terms of shipment volumes and name recognition. State-of-the-art fleet maintenance, compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) safety standards, and proper licensing, insurance and driver training programs provide operational excellence and customer confidence.

Risks include volatility in the price of fuel, such that huge swings in diesel prices may affect the cost of transport. Competition may include any vehicle transport business or specialized motorcycle transport business. Weather and seasonality may be influencing factors of demand. Legal issues include the interstate commerce clause and motorcycle carrier licensing. Liability may apply to damage during transport.

The Motorcycle Transport Service business model requires a substantial investment in enclosed trailers and equipment, commercial liability insurance, Global Positioning System (GPS) vehicle tracking and logistics software for fleet management, drivers and logistics coordinators, customer service representatives, branding and marketing efforts to develop a brand-name identity that encourages client loyalty and repeat business, and good relations with motorcycle owners, motorcycle dealers, collectors, auction houses, and race teams. By providing damage-free deliveries, clear communications, and a high level of customer service, these businesses can develop the motorcycle market and have customers use professional services for motorcycle transport.
