Need a bit of help!!!
I'm looking to transport a palletised engine from Nth Queeensland to Melbourne, any ideas on who would be reliable and most of all trustworthy.
Cheers Russ...

Most companies wont touch it as its considered "ugly freight"
you would need to use a company like Toll NQX/ Toll Express

Thanks guys, found that mainfreight border express and toll won't even talk to you if you haven't got an account, so I contacted good ol pack n save they weren't too bad on price considering!!
Thanks for the responses hope this helps others in the future.
