Or someone who does Backloading?

Does the train go all the way? Thought it stopped in the middle somewhere???

I just tried QR, they dont do freight for cars, only if you want to take your car on holiday apparently, very strange.

byronbus ·

well, take it on a holiday...

Hi,
TNT seem to handle rail for most operators.
I used them a couple of years ago to send Kombi to Brissie from Perth.
If vehicle is not driveable they charge extra for more staff .
You cannot have anything in vehicle unless you are travelling on same train.
You would be better off psoting for someone who can take a backload.

Cheers fella.

Anyone know any contacts for backloading?

Try some of the Brissie (Gold Coast) based race car teams.
They sometimes have empty slots and they know how to look after cars.

I looked a few months ago when I apparently owned a Type 3 in Melb (long story............🙁) thats about the price that I was quoted. The big change came if the car was driveable and locations of pick up and drop off points.
