Cool Newcastle to Canb - transport of sports bar?

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone is traveling from Newcastle (or even Salt Ash - a half hour north of Newcastle) to Canberra? in say the next 2 months.

I am trying to get a Ute Sports bar transported - freight companies think I have just won lotto and insist I hand over half of the million I won . As I have not won lotto, I am trying to find a transport alternative.

If there is anyone out there than can assist in my plight, i would be happy to hear from you. Of course I am happy to provide some form of thanks, Like a case of "what do you drink?"
Reply by PM is fine.
Cheers

AWD Chaser,
Its an alloy sports bar, for a BA Ute so not small. It secures at 4 points.
The actual dimensions are, 160cm wide (width of ute tray), 50cm high and 100cm in depth.

I am sure I can get the fella from Salt Ash to drop it into Newcastle between now and 1st week of Jan.

I sure would be happy if you are able to fit it in - check the measurements and let me know.
Additionally I am on the road into Canberra (Northbourne Ave), so very easy to locate.

Regards
Dave
