Default Car transporters thrashing cars?

So as a few of you would know i joined the Army at the start of the year, left the car to my dad in brissy to have some work done, and on the 30th of last month, was picked up by Toll, and delivered to my base in Victoria on wednesday.

Now when the ute left brissy, she was running beautifully, my dad even took a video and just hearing it over the phone it sounded so smooth and excellent. The speedo reading then was 11,541.

Car gets off trailer at my base 14 days later. Tappets are loud as HELL, wobbly noise, sounds like a drive shaft hitting something or being loose in the gearbox, fuel float was high as hell and when over 1500 revs would fart out because of how rich it was, coolant leaking from head, almost un-drivable. Speedo reading 11,560

Now I'm non the wiser as to how the whole delivery proccess goes, but im pretty bloody sure there is no way in hell thay can drive 20 odd k's just getting it off one truck to another.
Very
Bloody
Angry
What do I do?
I dropped it off at a well known dyno that very night and picked it up this arvo, runs better but still shudders around and acts crap...
