    Default Anyone with a van or trailer coming down from QLD to VIC?

    I 'bought' some timber about a year ago and as yet, haven't been able to get it transported down to Melbourne. It seems nobody is interested in transporting stuff these days unless it's on a pallet (It might be easier to make the timber into a pallet, have the pallet picked up and delivered and then recycle the pallet once it arrives here).

    I've spent a large part of Friday afternoon and almost three hours this morning ringing freight companies, haulage contractors, men with white vans and everything in between. So far, I have one "maybe" (a man is going to call me back). If I was still driving, I'd jump in the ute and go fetch it myself.

    If anyone is coming down from Queensland to Melbourne with a truck/van/trailer and would be willing to collect some slabs en route, I'll pay handsomely.

    Where are they? How many slabs? What size? When are they available? Is there anyone to deliver or help load? How heavy are they? zWhen can youi unload them- ie 24 hours?

    Cheers

    There are about a dozen boards, 1.5m x .4m x .05m in Brisbane and then one slab 3.8m x .7m x .05m in Glen Innes (Just north of Armidale and east of Grafton).

    All are available now. The small ones in Brisbane can easily be lifted by one man and the large one in Glen Innes is at a sawyer's, so presumably there'd be somebody about the place who could help lift it onboard.

    On arrival in Melbourne, the small boards obviously wouldn't be difficult to unload. I'm no good on my feet, but a single man could presumably drag the large slab off onto the ground. Alternatively, if the delivery arrived after, say, 6pm, there are usually a few neighbours home by then who I could muster for lifting duties.

    Are you up for a road trip?
