Shipping company???
Anyone know of a good shipper that can handle Spyder's? I sold one of mine and the buyer is having trouble securing a shipper. Thanks...
It needs to ship from Michigan to Maryland....

Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.

Thanks. Checked them out. Guess they're a 'bidding' site where many shippers can bid on your needs.

I used G-Man Transport Services to ship my Spyder home after purchasing it long distance... and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again!!! It's a small Veteran owned company out of Harker Heights Texas. They ship cross-country and use and enclosed trailer.

Uship was good for me
I used U-ship for my F3 and it was good for me - from Tampa, FL to Indy.
I left the bidding open for a week and it went from $1,000 to less than $400 by the time it was over - I was pleased.
Love my Spyders

Thanks.... the buyer just secured Haulbikes to handle the shipment. I've heard many good things about them.

Well.. he had trouble using Haulbikes online contract forms, was in the process of doing them manually in order to fax them and Wolverine contacted him with a price that was half of what Haulbikes was.....
Will know soon how this works out.
I've been paid and mailed him the title... and I have not dropped my insurance on it yet... going to wait until it's delivered.

Haulbikes/Daily Direct
I used Haulbikes to ship my 2015 Spyder F3S from a Spyderlover's member in Texas to Lancaster, PA in 2016. Let me just say that I will NEVER use them for anything again. Their office and customer service is the most unprofessional that I have ever come across. I had to file a report with the BBB to get help and the issue resolved. They have an A+ rating, but in the last 12 months, there have been 6 complaints files and resolved. If hope that you're not expecting your Spyder in a timely manner. If you'd like to read my complaint, it is dated 1/10/2017.

Anyone who uses Haulbikes needs to realize that all roads lead to Milwaukee, i.e., if you are in Texas and want your bike to go to Florida, it will go to Milwaukee central dispatch first. Since they haul only motorcycles, ATVs, and watercraft in their trailers they do so in as close to full truckloads as possible. They don't send empty trucks out of or into Milwaukee, and schedule them as much as possible so they have full loads when they're at the Milwaukee central dispatch warehouse. Plan on as long as 30 days. I suppose circumstances may stretch that out.

Yes, they could do a whole lot better, but all things considered I suspect they aren't significantly better or worse than any other trucking company. Even household moving companies leave a lot to be desired.
This is not to excuse anyone, but rather to just point out reality as I see it.

I figured out your shipping problem. It is not the shippers. It is where you're shipping it to. No one in their right mind would want to come here - even on a temporary basis.

I’ve used UShip for my first Spyder and again for 4 wheelers, tractors and a car. All the shippers were great. No damage. On time or earlier than expected.

6 weeks
if you recieved your spyder faster than that wow that's (6 weeks) great. If you want next day service meaning an enclosed trailer behind a pickup that kind of service does exist however it could take 6weeks on the phone and internet looking for that door to door express overnight service. If you use Uship its just a website they do not own trucks they are not a "trucking company" it is a service that connects you with someone that can help with a move in the direction you want to go just be prepared to be on the phone all day fielding calls. I'm just sayin...…….
