Hello Truckers! I hope you all are well, and SAFE out there on the road.
Question: How do I haul for Harley Davidson as an Owner-Op? Currently at the Petro in Joplin, Missouri and seen two truck/trailers leaving as I was pulling in to get fuel. I didn’t think to ask them until they were gone! Any advice helps! Take care.

Schneider used to have dedicated trucks on it.
Had HD on trailers and trucks, but on side boxes said “operated by Schneider National”
Dedicated Team truck driver - Harley-Davidson | Top drivers earn up to $80,000 | Up to $12,000 sign-on bonus per team | Schneider -
Theres a motorcycle transporter in Las Vegas that I think might have the contract, they have trailers designed just for that like a modified 2 deck enclosed car trailer with elevator rear door.

Darn sucks you couldn’t catch them, I’m sure they would have told you all about it.

I hauled Harley's back in 2013 14. They had a contract with Crane Freight. But Crane lost the bid to Ryder. I did routes out of Denver to Wyoming Utah Montana Idaho New Mexico and in Colorado. Was ok money they had something called embargo and no bikes could be delivered for a month straight just before the new models year was to be released. I then would pick up bikes at the plant in KC or York. They had a specialized trailer. It could carry 30 bikes doubled stack.

Oh, I don't know if that's the best freight for the future. Harley has fallen on tough times. Don't get me wrong, I grew up in Milwaukee, and think Harley is/was the best motorcycle made. Trouble is, everybody that wants a Harley, already has one and sales have dropped off. With funky new models planned, I truly believe, in my lifetime left( at 68 it isn't long, dearie) I will see the end of the greatest American product made right in my hometown. I think you'd be better off dragging Kroger trailers to food stores.

I Had haulbikes bring my bike across country. $600 at that time. 3 weeks to deliver.
Uship wanted $1200. No enclosed trailer. And possibly up to 3 months to deliver.
Only problem I had with haul bikes. They had no idea where my bike was at on any given day. But they delivered in 3 weeks. As promised. -
