Fernvale
New fill in town, older lanes at Vernor
Stock held for Fernvale stands at the Forest Hill yard, one sealed road south, about twenty-five minutes. You can look at the unit there, or we can send pictures of the shell allocated to your block. A new estate street is not a farm gate at Vernor, and the delivery figure follows that difference.

Places
4306 covers more than one problem
Fernvale, Glamorgan Vale, Vernor and Haigslea are all 4306, so the number will not tell the driver which gate it is. Lowood and Coominya, 4311, sit on the same morning if the truck is already headed that way. Marburg is 4346, back toward the Warrego. Walloon is 4306 again, on the Ipswich side.
Drives
Fill that has never seen a full wet
Estate drives finished last season can look sealed and still shove under a loaded axle, especially on the edges. Older lanes are narrower than a modern truck and were never meant for a rising deck. A side loader that fits an acreage court will not be the right call for a narrow frontage in the older part of town.
Looking
Down the road and back before lunch
The yard is at 24 Forest Hill Fernvale Rd, Forest Hill. Ring first so the size you want is not buried behind another stack. Open the doors, look at the floor, and the shell you saw is the one that arrives. If the hour is not free, pictures of that same floor and the seals do the job before the truck is rostered.
Doors
Leave swing, not just a footprint
Once the box is sitting, both doors need room to open past the locking bars, plus a walking gap. A pad measured to the external length alone pinches the opening against a fence or a tank. A 40ft only works where that swing exists beside the truck as well.
New drives and a short run south
Will a loaded truck mark a driveway finished last season?
It can, on fresh fill and on the soft edges. Tell us the drive's age and whether a concrete truck has used it. We can set down short of the new section if the rest of the pad is firm.
What decides the day on such a short run?
Whether your size is free at Forest Hill, and whether a truck is already rostered. The kilometres are not the delay. Looking at the unit, or asking for pictures, does not add a week if you do it before the tray is promised.
Can the box land before the house slab is down?
Yes. Mark where the house will sit so we are not in the middle of it. People at Wivenhoe Pocket and Vernor do this while the build is still a plan. The pad still has to carry the truck.
