Which crate for Fowardair.com? Small or medium??

I am diligently trying to get a track bike and shipping seems to be the way to go since everything good for sale seems to be a bazillion miles away from TX.
I got the forward air website locked on, but they only go to Dallas and that is 300 miles away from my hometown. so I am checking on cost effectiveness of driving to Dallas or getting a door to door guru.

I am wondering if a typical sport bike can fit in the small shipper provided crate forward air has on their site. They list three sizes...small, medium and large. I am overseas right now, so I can not measure my street bike to get an idea.

What do you guys typically use for those who have used forward air to ship and crate?

Thanks,
Rodrigo

 

figure most bikes are between 6' and 7' long x 3.5' to 5' tall
from looking at their website i say get the EXC Container thats 98"L x 44.6"W x 47.6"H

 

Medium.

 

Consider uship.com I've used them a few times with no problems and it is less expensive, plus it is door to door.

You put up a request and then people bid on the shipment. Two of the times I've used them there were also spares and bodywork and they moved that as well for no additional charge.

Good Luck

 

+1 on uship.com

If your flexible on the dates, and times, it was the cheapest way to ship the bike

 

Thanks...got some uship quotes and they look better than forward air...AND door to door like you guys said. Now I just have to find a track bike or get the guy I am trying to buy from to answer his emails. Have a ushipper that can get it tomorrow!!!
