I need to move 2 RTs from Los Angeles to Madisonville KY. Any suggestions on who to use? We have some inquiries out but I thought I would ask here.
Anyone use a service they like.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I have not used them, but several folks here have used Uship and have had good results.

:agree: UShip seems to get decent reviews.
Why not just ride them? :thumbup:

Last year I got totally frustrated trying to find someone to move my RTL from ID to AZ. Seems it isn't a popular route so truckers don't like to do it unless they can charge huge bucks and take their sweet time. I ended up renting a trailer and made the round trip myself.
Be aware that uship is a broker, not a move service. They distribute your request to their truckers and the truckers reply individually with rates and schedules. There are lots of reviews online both good and bad so do your due diligence first. Also, be aware that trikes are not their favorite item as they tend to be wide and long. Make sure your trucker knows the exact specs of both trikes before accepting their bid.

I received a decent quote from Haulbikes. They had no issues with shipping a Spyder and they don't require a forklift or loading dock at pick up or drop off points. They will ship right to your door.

We had a very bad experience with Uship, the hauler they farmed it out to was a total jerk and kept changing the price. We were trying to get a Dog trailer shipped from Michigan to Oregon. And then when we finally agreed on his price he canceled. My wife finally rode out and got it.

Since this may be a universal issue with moving Spyders you might consider re-posting in the first forum which is not model-specific. You may receive more feedback from other than RTL owners.

as previously stated a bike hauler is the way to go yes it takes time but think about this for a moment 60 bikes is 60 stops when the driver gets to a stop it can take several hours to move bikes out of the way to dig yours out then reload again the electronic driver log book only gives the driver 14 hours in a day there is enough work involved to keep a driver busy for 24 hours motorcycle transports are professionals but it takes time weeks is realistic if you try u ship and someone calls with a pickup and an enclosed trailer the front will scrape loading if you ship with auto transport an open truck has no center ramp for a 3rd tire if it is enclosed auto transport many of them still have an open space in the center the driver needs a system to deal with the 3rd tire dont let anyone put a side srap on your front tires they damage your bearings from extream 45 degree side to side presure then you will be trying to chase down where the vibration is comeing from a bike hauler has bike strap for a bike not car straps being used on a bike sorry trke sorry spyder....................................... shall i go on...................................

When I bought my Spyder it was in Florida. I used Uship.com, put it up for auction, got many offers, read reviews carefully, checked their equipment and selected one.
They had a 3/4 ton pick up with an enclosed trailer, they came north with my Spyder and a compact car on the trailer. The coat was about $450, and the unit was in my driveway within 22 hours after they picked it up.
As someone said choose wisely. Uship owns the site, good and bad reviews all stay on there, the haulers have no say in it. Also, keep in mind, Uship gets your money, basically keeps it in escrow for the hauler, but they know that the funds are there, if they deliver, they get paid. You get a code to keep secreted away until you accept delivery. Once it is done you give the code to the driver, he enters it into his account and the money is transferred.
you can buy insurance, my driver bought the insurance for me, it was great.
