From their web site at

"What cannot be shipped on an ABF U-Pack shipment?

Your shipment should not include anything that is poisonous, flammable, corrosive or perishable. Such items include, but are not limited to, the following: "
  • Fuels / Oils
  • Paints / Varnishes
  • Insecticides
  • Liquid Bleach
  • Matches / Candles
  • Perishable Goods
  • Live Plants
  • Pets
  • Fire Extinguishers
  • Propane Tank, empty or full
  • Paint Thinners
  • Aerosol Cans
  • Cleaning Chemicals
  • Firearms or Ammunition
  • Food in Glass Jars
  • Pressurized Tanks
  • Firewood
  • Lighters
I would think that a m/c would not be much different than lawnmowers, snowblowers etc. Just drain all fuel. Are the m/c's the only thing being moved ?? If so, having used a ReloCube, they just might fit. Either way, would suggest padding them with used mattresses or similar. And good tie downs.

To be sure of above, just give them a call. Nice people at the 800#
