I'm after a truck traveling empty (enough space for a pallet) from Melbourne to Regional SA that would allow me to put a pallet on board. I have contacted some couriers but they are so ridiculously priced now it is not funny. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

I'm in Port Augusta and the item is a set of seats,front two and rear, and door trim set. The guy I purchased it from has said it will fit on a pallet.

the problem is there is somuch frieght coming out of melbourne it isn't funny, anyone can charge what they want coming that way, if you were going the other way they'd be jumping for the frieght.

Railroad transport snd a truck over every night allong with containers on a train, look them up and give them a call, i've heard there not too bad.

Adelaide wouldn't be such a bad thing Schmidty. I could use it for a good excuse to take a run that way.
