Decades on the Road. Trusted Across Canterbury.

W.J. Baker Ltd has been part of Canterbury’s rural transport scene for decades. What started as a small, hardworking outfit has grown into a reliable name trusted by contractors, suppliers, and farms across the region.

We specialize in the kinds of jobs others turn down — blower work into tight silos, partial-load deliveries, and full-freight jobs over rugged ground. Our gear, grit, and no-fuss attitude mean we get it done — without the drama.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Long-standing relationships with local farmers and businesses

  • Gear suited for rural access and hard-to-reach sites

  • A reputation built on showing up, doing it right, and being easy to work with

  • Flexible service — from one-off deliveries to long-term contracts

“We don’t just turn up. We turn up ready to work.”

Why We're Trusted

“We’ve worked with W.J. Baker for years, and they’re the team we call when we need lime carted without any hassle. Scott and the crew are reliable, easy to deal with, and always turn up ready to get the job done.”
