Before your motorcycle has been loaded on to a truck, it should go through a full inspection with the transportation company and you present at that time. It may also be in your best interest to take pictures prior to it being loaded for your own records. It never hurts to do your own due diligence. Make sure to completely drain out all the gas and empty saddlebags prior to shipping. At all cost, it may be in your best interest to leave the shipper with less to be held liable for. Ultimately, you should receive an inventory document prior to releasing the motorcycle to the shipping company.
