    Carl, you could try:
    Border Express - Albury based services Brisbane 02 6022 6000.
    Greenfreight - Wodonga based services Brisbane 02 6056 5122
    Have used both at work and they seem OK

    Good Luck

    Default Freight Costs

    Carl,
    From my limited experience you have gone above the 'courier' companies and into the pallett type freight. Toll handle all types of freight and would be worth a call. An alternative is to phone Mills Transport of Murwillumbah (02 66722177) who run Brisbane to Sydney and see if they can contract some one to get it from Wagga to their Sydney depot. As you are not an account customer with either company it won't be cheap.

    There is a subbie out of East Wagga who does daily runs to Sydney, cant remember his name though sorry, my young bloke was driving for him in his holidays too earn some extra bikkies,mostly does Air Freight for one of the big companies ,he might be worth a try.
    Next time I'm talking to him I'll ask him his name.
