Road transport driver (bbl)

For the trucker who likes to be on the road

Freedom, nothing on your mind except the music you play. That's working as a road transport driver. Every day, you're on the road transporting goods in the Netherlands or throughout Europe.

Off you go; on the road with the music you choose in your cab. You know how to handle your cargo safely and with other road users. You're alert and take responsibility for your freight, which can always be different and requires a unique approach. To ensure your work runs smoothly, you keep your paperwork and waybills in order. In the event of a breakdown on the road, you first see if you can solve the problem yourself. You're a jack of all trades.

Driving a truck, within the Netherlands or abroad, that's your thing. No day is
the same!

Starting in the 2025-2026 academic year, the Vocational School for Logistics will open its doors in Eersel. You can then take logistics employee and road transport driver training courses at recognized logistics companies in the Kempen region. Here more information about this.
