Hiya guys, DFDS let me know today that it's no extra charge to use a truck with a trailer or a normal flatbed to take my car to Gatebil as apposed to driving there. Anyone have details of a flatbed I can borrow or rent? Luckily the total miles the truck would have to drive is 440 miles thanks to the ferry trips

I am/was, until they sent this email this morning saying there's room for one
It'll be fine driving there, I think I do more miles driving to Ford Fair every year than this trip, but just thinking I don't need to be "as careful" on track if it wasn't my sole way of getting homesigpic

DFDS Freight, as in the Ro-Ro to Gothenburg.
And I mean flat bed as in a flat bed, and trailer as in something like a land rover or van pulling a trailersigpic

something that attaches to the back of a car is merely a car trailer??
and the reason i asked about dfds is, a few years ago they were taken over by DSV, then DSV bought out norfolk line but couldnt trade as one big firm (something to do with monopalising the market ) so had to revive dfds - but as far as i was aware only as road transport ..."DFDS logistics" is what they are called in immingham - all the boats in immingham i'm sure now fall under the banner of DSV. not really important i guess, just thought i'd try and clear it up...... thanks for the sarcasm anyway
one for the road?? ......

What sarcasm are you on about you odd little man?!
I couldn't give a rats ass about the name, if you have such a big problem with it, go tell DFDS that they should change their website and logo's on their ships!
A flat bed is the same thing, type it into Google, flatbed recovery.
Cheers
