None of the stuff was even boxed up, it was just loose brake cables spread across two pallets.

The solution in the end was to put another pallet, over half of both pallets, then tie that down to the ute.

I'm like this is sketchy AF, **** it I'll just take it anyway - keep an eye out for me on the news tonight when all this shit flies off on the freeway

Got it back to the other side of Melbourne without losing anything off the back which **** me I was surprised, was expecting to get around the corner and lose it all off the back - I didn't give a ****, I told them before I left, and I fully intended on losing it all on the freeway and then saying 'I told you so'.
Now I understand a truck drivers response when I loaded 2 pallets on his truck and before doing anything asked where he wanted them placed? He looked at me like I asked which gold watch do you want...he said thanks for asking, and I added, it's your truck and you're driving it so I'll load it the way you want unless I think it might damage my load.
