So are you planning on buying a semi tractor/trailer and a pick-up and enclosed trailer? When people are paying you to haul their bike you can't pack them in like sardines one scratch and people will freak and your business will die. How many trips will you have to make a year just to break even on insurance costs? How many bikes do you have to have minimum per trip to cover your costs? I know it sounds like an easy money business but it's not. My buddy knows a truck driver that hauls bikes to Sturgis every year from Conneaut for $350 that is $.25/mile granted he is already going to Sturgis anyway so it's extra cash to him but I did an online quote with AA motorcycle transport and they would ship my bike from my door to Robinsville for $750 one way or $1.18/mile I can ride there for about $.10/mile to me it's a no brainer I'd ride before I'd pay or take the $1500 and buy my own trailer.
