Thanks again for the suggestion but it didn't work.  I booked online and it was all looking good however just spoke to the person at the Dandenong end and they advised e-go freight company arrived to pick it up then refused when they realised is was a motorcycle and it wasn't on a pallet .... Great  ::)  I did put that it was a "motorcycle - dirt bike" on the booking form in the comments section but they musn't read that.

Mine wasn't on a pallet.  They just forked it on, and forked it off (at Dandenong).  The guys there wanted to fire it up and ride it around the yard!  Good luck!

Sorry it didn't work out for ya.

Thanks mate but my best quote of $375 is to the Sunshine Coast from Dandenong, door to door so that's looking good.  Also I believe (based on what a couple have said) that freight south is cheaper than freight North because most freight North is in demand and booked up with mining etc etc but they backload South cheaper to avoid returning empty.

No worries Shorty, I appreciate you taking to time to try and help.

Yeah not sure why they wouldn't pick it up, maybe company policy has changed or maybe some drivers/depots have different rules??  Anyway I appreciate your assistance nevertheless.

Cheers
