Employment Info

Working at Nedcargo, warehouse to warehouse
Your typical day at Nedcargo (www.nedcargo.nl)  starts anywhere between 02.00 and 06.00 working around 10-12 hours a day. Living within a 20-minute radius from the distribution center, situated near Utrecht in the center of the Netherlands, offers a convenient commute. The planner hands you the bill of loading and the keys to your trailer truck, while drinking a cup of coffee.

The loading process at Nedcargo involves pallets, with goods efficiently arranged and ready for loading at your designated dock shelter. You need to be forklift expert! The trailer requires strategic loading to adhere to the “first in, last out” principle, emphasizing the importance of precise packing. You will be transporting all kind of foods, not frozen or refrigerated.
On a typical day, your route takes you to 2 to 5 distribution centers spread across the Netherlands. Loading and unloading is done with a fixed procedure. Returning empty goods, pallets and packing material comes with the job. Checking bill of loads, dates of expiry,…. require experience and a good knowledge of the English language.

Your route is meticulously planned down to the minute. Efficiency in your tasks can result in timely returns, and planners acknowledge this by occasionally offering additional routes, providing an opportunity to extend your working hours.
After completing your work, you park your truck, return the keys, and head home. Whether it’s unwinding or grabbing groceries, your house – equipped with a full kitchen – is nearby. Enjoy the night and rest well for the challenges awaiting you tomorrow.

This is key when you strive to work maximum hours. Efficient drivers get the most work. If you work hard and efficient planners will give you the extra routes, the extra work, the extra hours… Work on Sundays when there’s no backup is only granted to the best drivers that can handle the situation by themselves.
