WHAT WE DO AT WAIMEA CONTRACT CARRIERS

We are a log cartage company with more than 60 trucks in our fleet and more than 100 staff. Our primary brand of log truck is Kenworth, both cab over and bonneted.

We are active in the Nelson/Tasman and Marlborough areas and we have more than 50% of the log cartage market share in these regions.

Our history and experience in the region’s forests extend back to the 1980s and some of our drivers have been on a good portion of the journey with us.   

We have 3 drivers who have been part of our team for more than 20 years, and plenty more who aspire to this. We are lucky to have a stable team of dedicated and passionate staff.

We have a purpose built Workshop located at our Richmond site and a satellite workshop in Blenheim. We have a team of 13 Workshop personnel covering the roles of Mechanics, Auto Electricians, Parts and support staff.
