Default Backhaul from Melbourne to Canberra....

Guys,

I am looking for some assistance/advice. I need to get a 600kg pallet of blue stone from Melbourne to Canberra ASAP. Does anyone here know of any transport companies that might be able to do this on one of their empty trucks coming back from Melbourne to Canberra?

I am too scared to get a formal quote to do this so was hoping someone may know someone who knows someone who may be able to help.

Thanks in advance guys.....

Most run to Canberra loaded and out of there empty so it will be standard rates
Try ringing any of the Canberra based transport carriers and they may be able to mix it with a part load .

Lots of transport companies do Melb/Canberra. Best thing to do is sit down with the yellow pages and tell them what you've got.

If they sound too expensive grab a trailer and do it yourself.
