Founded in 1949 by William Walker, the company that bears his name originally served the logging industry. Sons Bill and Jim had joined the company by the early 70's to support the increasing demand. With the steady development of industry in the North East, William Walker Transport grew organically into one of the largest and most innovative companies in the Aberdeen area.
Now run by Grandson Grant, who joined the company in the 90's, and Granddaughter Louise, the most recent member of the family to join in 2017. Very much a family business, the company has grown alongside many of its customer's and still partners with many of them today. As a family run business with over 65 years' experience we continue to provide a service to our customers that is professional but highly personalised.

Services
Founded in 1949 by William Walker, the company that bears his name originally served the logging industry. By 1960 the road haulage company was running five vehicles and as the workload increased in the early 70's, both sons joined the operation and a further three trucks were added to the fleet. During the 80's, the company diversified from logging to the already established oil and gas industries.
We provide a reliable, quality road haulage service for the UK and continental market. The modern fleet comprises a range of vehicle types, from vans to 44t articulated trucks operating with curtain-siders, flatbeds, extenders, step frames and low-loaders. Our drivers are ADR trained (all classes), DCPC and Level D airport security trained which allows them to handle air freight to and from UK airports.
We run a fleet of 20 DAF and MAN tractor units with automated AS-Tronic and TipMatic system gearboxes. The latest addition to the fleet is the extremely impressive new Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 with PowerShift 3 automated transmission. We also operate a fleet of 30 trailers. All our vehicles are fitted with Navman tracking and run on road-friendly air suspension.
