I'm an amateur motorcyle restorer. So, most of my shipping activity is either having an antique motorcycle delivered (typically bought on Ebay), or having one shipped to a customer. I favor enclosed shippers, and like to have my bikes palletized or otherwize very securely strapped down. Once I received a shipment that was made in an old horse trailer, and the bike was just crammed in with a bunch of other stuff. I won't be dealing with them again! I am flexible about schedules and understand that life on the road is not easy.
