It is now looking to hire an additional 300 drivers to be able to meet the demands of the contracts and man the 250 newly acquired vehicles. This time the expansion concerns, among others, the regions of Tilburg (south Netherlands), Zaandam (west Netherlands), Arnhem and the Veluwe (east Netherlands).
