Terminal regulations and conditions
Carrier and driver information
Recently, we have seen an increasing number of drivers who do not understand our safety instructions.
We as Verbrugge provide clear safety instructions by means of a leaflet with pictograms and a registration form in multiple languages.
Safety is our top priority, and we want the drivers and our staff to return home safely at the end of the day.
We will do everything in order to make the safety rules clear to the drivers. However, in the exceptional situation that we see it is impossible to guarantee the safety, we reserve the right to refuse a truck driver access to our terminals.
We trust on your kind cooperation. In case of any question, please reach out to your customer service contact.
Below you will find a summary of the instructions for the drivers, which you can share with your carrier and/or subcarrier.
