Bne to Melb might be backload rates and that's also a consideration here. x2 with the camper supplier as they've often had the experience and know the pitfalls. We used to load steel house framing and I had a couple of subbies I'd trust to see you didn't get a mangled mess. Some country folk would use their local truckie and they'd roll up and rely on us completely to load their semi because they know we know all the pitfalls. Occasionally you'd get Eddie the eggspert and noone's gunna tell him how to load his effing semi, cos he's been trucking since we were in nappies, yada, yada and I actually refused to load one such bloke and pissed him off with some explaining to do for the country client.
So here's a bright shiny new camper in the depot and how does the customer want it? For starters he'll want some carpet on the forklift tines when we lift it and he won't want drums and equipment, etc chafing any part of it, nor a pallet of fertiliser or cement on top and have you measured outside of guard to outside of guard lately and realised a semi tray is only 2400 wide? How long's a piece of string and what's cheap transport at your end on pickup eh?
