Found a sport utility vehicle you want to buy from a seller in Indiana, but you live in South Dakota? Have an out-of-state-buyer worried about transportation? Those might sound like headaches, but with FR8Star, moving utility vehicles, motorcycles, snowmobiles, or any other type of powersports equipment is quick and easy. 

FR8Star is a highly trusted online shipping resource from Sandhills Global that gives shippers access to a vetted network of more than 20,000 transport companies with experience hauling everything from general freight to expensive heavy-haul loads. These carriers are qualified to transport all types of oversized, overweight, and specialized loads, at any distance. 

If a load requires overseas shipping, FR8Star’s experts will help arrange secure passage with freight forwarders capable of moving loads through any port across the globe.

Click For A Free Quote

Shippers have two ways to get started with FR8Star. At Sandhills auction and trade sites like MotorSportsUniverse.com, AuctionTime.com, and TractorHouse.com, each asset’s for-sale listing includes a FR8Star Get Shipping Quotes button. Clicking the button generates a shipping request form that automatically pulls in key details about the load, such as dimensions and weight. Shippers just need to indicate whether they want the load hauled, towed, or driven away and enter their preferred pickup and drop-off locations.

Click the FR8Star Get Shipping Quotes button on any listing to get started.

Shippers can also visit FR8Star.com directly and click the Get Started button on the homepage to start the process. Shippers then select over-the-road or overseas transport, indicate a load type (equipment, freight, livestock, etc.), and enter some basic details about the load.

Select A Bid

After the load details are entered, the request moves to the FR8Star Load Board for transport companies to review. Comprehensive bids frequently start coming to shippers within an hour and include fees for any necessary permits, escorts, or other special considerations. 

Shippers can view ratings and reviews of carriers in addition to their submitted bids before choosing a carrier. Once a bid is accepted, FR8Star connects the shipper and transport company so they can finalize details such as arrangements for the proper truck and trailer, payment, and any other logistics.

Exclusive FR8Star Group

Registered dealers, auction companies, rental companies, and financial institutions that are part of the Exclusive FR8Star Group have access to a small, elite group of transport companies that have been selected for their service and can lock in a rate with one of the companies. This allows members to include the price of the freight in an asset’s final sale price. Members can bypass down payments and award a bid and pay later. As always, member contact information is confidential, and posting a load is free.
