Helpful Tips

- If you encounter any issues or have concerns, contact your transportation office (JPPSO) and ask to speak to a QA/ QC inspector.
- Appendix K "It's Your Move" will be your best friend throughout the whole move. This packet may be found on www.ustranscom.mil "appendix K"

- Weight estimates does not mean actual weight, they are planning tools only.
- Members may be subject to excess cost if out of authorized entitlements and excess weight.
Pack / Pick Up

**IMPORTANT**
When shipping a motorcycle, the following outlines your responsibilities during the moving process:
- Fuel injected models must be drained of fuel. Carbureted models must be drained down to reserve, or as low as possible. This can be done by running the engine until empty and/ or using a siphoning device.
- Make sure that tires are properly inflated, and vehicle is free of fluid leaks. Oil, transmission and fuel leaks are the usual culprits that must be repaired prior to shipment.
- Disconnect battery and tape ends with electrical tape to prevent sparking.
- Empty saddlebags and ensure you remove all belongings. Any paperwork, keys, boxes, or spare parts need to be shipped separately. Saddlebags and windshields can stay on the motorcycle and helmets may be shipped as long as they are securely strapped to the motorcycle. Note: Ensure inventory reflects when helmet is attached to the motorcycle.
- Ensure motorcycle is unlocked so the driver can roll onto the truck and onto the skid.
- If equipped with a full style touring windshield, it is recommended that it be removed and shipped separately (crated if necessary)
- Please make sure to annotate in DPS for any Firearms/ Motorcycles/ Water-crafts/ Trailers under remarks/ additional items ***Notify counselor if your watercraft/ Trailer is over 14ft.
Compliance with the law is your responsibility
- Privately owned firearms can be shipped via HHG/ UB however, YOU should always verify the host nations rules and regulations.
