If anyone is planning to ship a motorcycle in the future, you may find this helpful.
Around Thanksgiving 2022, I purchased a motorcycle from DSP Motorsports in Barrington, IL. The dealer agreed to ship the bike to me. They contracted with Haulbikes. Haulbikes picked the bike up from the dealer on 12/2.
First I was told the bike would be delivered by 12/20. They missed that delivery date, at which point they pushed their delivery estimate out to mid-January. I called them between Xmas and New Years to get status. I was told the bike was in Oklahoma City waiting for a driver and that mid-January was still the new date. I had the dealer then inquire with them on 1/9 and they were told I should be getting a delivery call any day now. Still waiting for that call today on 1/17, I contacted Haulbikes and was told it would take three more weeks, moving the date out to the 1st week of February.
WHAT A JOKE!!!
WHAT A RIP OFF!!!

This is Haulbike’s FAQ statement:
How long will it take?
I am now at 35 business days, and when I finally-hopefully get my bike it will have been about 45-50 business days. The motorcycle has been in Oklahoma City since the 3rd week of December. They now say it is going to take 3 more weeks to get my bike from Oklahoma City to Junction Texas (a 6 hr 19 min drive). Bottomline, if they deliver by the new target, it will have taken Haulbikes between 65 and 70 calendar days to delivery a bike from IL to TX. (an 18 hr 34 min drive).
This company makes no guarantee on delivery time, they just bait-n-switch you with a FAQ suggesting 21-28 days.
YOU ARE COMPLETELY AT THEIR MERCY!!!
It appears.....THE DELIVERY DATE IS SOLELY DEPENDENT ON HOW LONG IT TAKES THEM TO GET ENOUGH ORDERS TO FILL UP A TRACTOR TRAILER. Until it is full you can just shut up and wait!!
If you want to ship a bike and don’t care how long it takes, Haulbikes may be for you. I for one will NEVER EVER use them again.
Haulbikes.com calls themselves a premier shipper and note their laughable slogan ‘It’s who we are. It’s what we do.’
What a sorry outfit!!!!
