Interested in specializing in motorcycle hauling the only source of loads that even come to mind would be CentralDispatch any car haulers on here that have access to the website willing to share your view on things. Also if there is anyone specializing in Moto Hauling what's the best way to find work. Any brokers you would recommend.

Thanks

I used to use Central Dispatch quite a bit.

Never looked at bikes because of the open equipment I ran.

I'd be surprised if you could get enough volume to one area to be profitable.
The rates for cars was low, you get to deal with private owners and sleazeball brokers.

What makes you think you can do well specializing in bikes ?

Never having dealt with hauling bikes, I could be totally wrong.

I should of probably cleared it up in the original post but I plan on using a Sprinter holding only 3-4 motorcycle at a time. Lower overhead less hassle and better turn around times. I am copying the idea. I saw my neighbor get a motorcycle delivered in a Sprinter Van so if there are companies out there using the business plan the math must add up right :rolleyes: also just looking at some info on uship only website I could easily access. Most motorcycle deliveries on there are 0.45-0.50 cpm which adds up considering most of the time that number should be multiplied by 2-3 bikes loaded. Also uship being the website that it is I figure most of the bids on there are really low due to people running without mc/insurance etc. I have the vehicle already setup because I use it for dirtbike/track days just can't seem to get any leads on consistent loads.

See if you can get a 30 free trl of CD, or even review the last 30 days to see what they had posted.

Worst case,pay for a minimum subscription.
Back when I got on they required an MC number and maybe insurance info if I remember right.
That was many sleepless nights ago. :)

You may want to research companies and see if there's a market to run under their authority.

Yep I've been trying but it's not as popularized as freight shipping companies where there is a bunch of companies constantly hiring O/O to run under their authority. Maybe I am just not searching the right way or I might be searching for something that doesn't exist.
