Manhattan is one of the most populated and smallest in area of the five boroughs of New York City. Located primarily on the island of Manhattan at the mouth of the Hudson River, the borough is conterminous with New York County, an original county of the state of New York. The borough and county consist of Manhattan Island and several small adjacent islands: Roosevelt Island, Randall’s Island, Wards Island, Governors Island, Liberty Island, part of Ellis Island, Mill Rock, and U Thant Island; as well as Marble Hill, a small area on the mainland bordering the Bronx. The original city of New York began at the southern end of Manhattan, expanded northward, and then between 1874 and 1898, annexed land from surrounding counties.
New York County is the most densely populated county in the United States, and one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a 2010 population of 1,585,873 living in a land area of 22.96 square miles (59.5 km2), or 69,464 residents per square mile (26,924/km²), more dense than any individual American city. It is also one of the wealthiest counties in the United States, with a 2005 per capita income above $100,000. Manhattan is the third-largest of New York’s five boroughs in population, and its smallest borough in land area.
Interstate 87 (abbreviated I-87) is a 333.49-mile (536.70 km) Interstate Highway located entirely within New York in the United States. The highway begins at the Bronx approaches of the Triborough Bridge in New York City, from where it runs northward through the Hudson Valley, the Capital District, and the easternmost part of the North Country to the Canadian border in the town of Champlain. At its north end, I-87 continues into Quebec as Auto route 15 (A-15). I-87 connects with several regionally important roads: I-95 in New York City; New York State Route 17 (NY 17; future I-86) near Harriman; I-84 near Newburgh; and I-90 in Albany. The route is the longest intrastate Interstate Highway in the Interstate Highway System. I-87 was assigned in 1957 as part of the establishment of the Interstate Highway System. Early proposals for I-87 called for the route to take a more easterly course through the Hudson Valley between New York City and Newburgh. These plans were scrapped in 1970 when I-87 was realigned onto the Thruway between Westchester County and Newburgh.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian worked really hard to find a driver for me at the last minute when my other company flopped. Sadly, the contractor (FamCo) was 3 days late with my delivery, unresponsive, dishonest about his location (I had a tracker on my vehicle unbeknownst to him) and stole items out of my vehicle. The transport company guaranteed a delivery date and arrived THREE DAYS LATE with items missing from my vehicle!!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a private buyer and purchased a couple motorcycles. I shipped 2 different motorcycles from two different dealerships and had zero issues. Ian kept great communication and reached out to the sellers to make sure everyone was informed and ready to go. Had the best price as well. Will definitely use again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I highly recommend this company, fast service, very reasonable rate.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very fast and reliable service. Have used this company many times.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company has great reviews. I read them too. Perhaps there was a time, in the past, they deserved the good reviews. I'm telling you this is no longer the case. After being assigned to this 3rd party company thru Shiply and doing my research I went with these guys and THEIR offer. I paid my deposit instantly.was today they would contact me I. 2 to 4 days...nope it was 6 days before any contact. Was told the driver would contact me 4 to 12 hours in advanced..this is when it gets ugly. I was called by a person from BKK told me someone would be here with 4 hours however, there is now a $250 extra charge that must be paid by time my 2 motorcycles were dropped off....wait what? After what turned into several conversations with at least 3 employees I was told i have to pay the extra $250 because they're bringing a different trailer and the original contract did not matter to them and that the would keep my deposit and charge me an extra 150 to cancel a contract they wrote and signed off on. I hate bashing companies...hate it. This is 100% buyer beware with these guys. My next stop is Shiply who has also not Contacted me in the time they dictated...awesome. I will never use either of these companies. As long as you don't mind a tremendous amount of stress, horrid communication, being strong armed and threatened, being treated horribly for services you're paying for and then doing everything that comes with credit card disputes they these 2 companies are awesome and just what you're looking for.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed a car transported from Illinois to Florida, went to the BKK Transport website and filled out my information and got a very reasonable quote. I got an email confirming my reservation and a call a few days before the car was picked up to confirm. The business was in constant communication before the car was picked up and after to provide time estimates of when the driver would be picking up the vehicle and then vehicle drop off. Great service, stress free. Highly recommend and would use again.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did not use themTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Received quotes from several transport brokers, including BKK through a website. Their price was the most competitive. Understanding a little about how the business worked, I knew my request to pickup a vehicle on the east coast and bring it to the Midwest would be posted on a board for drivers to see and accept based on the bid. After a week, due to location and routes, I offered to increase the bid and a driver accepted within a couple of days. During this time, other brokers were circling back with me and offering to pick it up "immediately" with a slightly higher price. Going to another broker does not help. It will be posted on the same boards as your first broker's and only causes confusion. Be patient and know that when a driver is available that will be near your pickup area, they will check the boards if they have space/availability. Once the quote was accepted, I received the driver's proof of liability insurance and their contact information immediately. My vehicle was delivered on time, as promised, and in the same condition as it was picked up. My only reason for knocking off a star is because I was the one that had to check with BKK for updates.
