Welcome to the forum. I recently used Federal Motorcycle Transport to ship my R3T from Mass to Florida. The website also suggested that the bikes are handled by experienced bike riders. Not so. Personally I would not use them again. When I set up my delivery the previous owner had some boxed parts to send. Federal refused, citing that the bikes go alone on the trucks to avoid any damage from boxes falling over. Understandable. I then found out that my bike was transferred 3 times, the last truck was just a basic moving van with a lift gate. Inside the truck was other household furniture. I was not pleased. I gave the bike a quick look over and it all seemed ok. They pushed the bike into the garage and I left for work. The next day I was able to go over the bike thoroughly. I found a small dent in the front fender. It was hard to see at first but I felt it with my hand. It was signed clean at pick up. I contacted federal right away as you are supposed to have 90 days to file a claim. They responded a few weeks later that I was basically SOL since I signed a clear receipt, which I am now in the process of fighting. So, while I cannot recommend a good shipping company, I can tell you about my experience with Federal companies. They also go under STI and Fun Transport. I cannot recommended them.
