Our M.O.

Good at pickups. Better at follow-through.

1

Tell us what’s moving.

Pickup and delivery locations, dimensions, weight and ready date. Include any loading requirements or appointments. Finding out there’s no forklift is more useful before the truck arrives.

2

Pick the option that fits.

We compare LTL against a full trailer, explain the costs and estimated transit times, and confirm what’s included. Duties and taxes are separate; any brokerage fee is shown before you book.

3

Easy customs clearance.

Use your existing customs broker or have clearance arranged through our licensed brokerage partner. Moto coordinates the documents and follows up on clearance so you have one team to contact about the shipment.

How customs clearance works
4

Get updates. Without asking for updates.

Your contact monitors the shipment and keeps you posted. If plans change, we explain what’s happening and what we’re doing about it. Between updates, check your shipment details in the portal, 24/7.

5

Get your freight. And your paperwork.

We follow through on delivery and make sure the documents reach you. One shipment reference. One team to call. Your proof of delivery shouldn’t require proof of persistence.

Give them a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

    Moto Transportation is amazing! I wish I could give them 10 stars! They went above and beyond to help me move a giant piece of furniture. It was even more difficult considering the location and space I asked for, and additionally, I was out of town when all of this took place!!! Moto Transportation went through so much trouble to help me and they were so professional and patient. Office manager John, logistic coordinator Tony and Orlando, the clearance department, and the lovely office staffs Mariam and Anastasia. They thought of all the details I would never have thought of.
    Darrel Cannings8 years ago
    Great response to email requests for rates and tracing. Usually get the response within 15 minutes, so important for those of us in a 3pl companies. Great updates for shipments picked up and/or delivered. They have been nothing but a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend this company for all your LTL moves.

    We use Moto multiple times weekly. Their portal is very easy to use, the team is incredibly responsive and always provides the best rates. Our rep (Christina) is incredible, often responding in under 2 minutes to any inquiries we have. Tracking shipments is a breeze due to their system providing location updates daily while shipments are in transit. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Highly recommend for all your transportation needs, LTL or FTL
