Thats classic, the truck seems to be not a very profesionall looking unit, most of the nz ones are lower and longer than that.

I've had a couple of bad experiences here. One time my car almost slip backwards off the deck - the front wheels were at the top of the ramps and they slid back, the only thing that was still on the deck was the front lower side of the car, resting directly on the deck, the front wheels were in mid air and the back bumper was near touching the ground.

It's hard to explain, but I don't trust transport guys and would want to supervise all transit of a car as special as yours Jennifer.
