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.

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.

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.

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.

That's all well and good....IF they tell you that information up front. None of that was revealed to me or other customers of theirs if you read the list of complaints they get. And their lack of customer service has nothing to do with where their warehouse is located or full loads. Just be honest and upfront about it....don't give me BS. :cus::cus::cus:

It looks like their web site isn't quite as informative as it was 5 years ago. They are a trucking company, and it's my impression trucking companies as a whole are not known for having stellar customer service. Their trailers are pulled by independent owner/operators, with emphasis on independent. 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...…….
