GRININGEN – LCW Groningen has taken over Van de Hoef from Groenekan as of January 1, 2024. The activities of both family businesses are seamlessly linked. In particular, the 24-hour distribution of obsolete cage monkey products in the Benelux is being strengthened and can even be expanded further.

“In addition to the location in Groningen, we now also have a centrally located location in Groenekan near Utrecht. This merger creates a company with 200 skilled employees and we can further develop sustainable transport,” says Jacob Vonck of LCW Groningen.

According to the company, this merger offers a number of advantages:

“Since its founding in 1929, Van de Hoef has grown into the modern logistics service provider that it is today, with skilled employees and loyal clients,” says Frans Bal Tussen, director of Van de Hoef. “I am convinced that in LCW we are the best partner. have found for the future. We are both family businesses and fit well together in terms of corporate culture. The combination with LCW will enable us to serve our clients even better with transport solutions due to the increase in scale. I will happily remain involved in the coming years to ensure that the transition runs smoothly. I am proud of Van de Hoef’s history and look forward to a successful future under the LCW flag.”

LCW Groningen was created in 2003 from a merger between three Hoogkerk transport companies: Gebr. Gorter, Gebr. Vonck and Liewes. This modern logistics service provider is on the road every day with 120 trucks to provide transport and distribution (with cage monkey) in the construction, food and agricultural sectors with locations throughout the Netherlands. The head office with a logistics center of 23,000 m2 is located at Londonweg 10 in Groningen.

“Sustainability is central to us. The first electric truck will be delivered soon. An energy hub is being built in Groningen with a charging plaza for charging several electric trucks with green energy. Our team of 160 professionals guarantees a good finish of every logistical challenge,” says Jacob Vonck.

“We are pleased that Van de Hoef is now part of LCW,” said Jakob Vonck and Renze Vonck, who manage LCW together with Gerrie Gorter and their brothers Jan Vonck and Pieter Vonck.

“The company and the professionals suit us very well. We warmly welcome our new colleagues. With this acquisition we are taking the next step towards a sustainable logistics family business where the employees are central. Just like 21 years ago with the merger, continuity is now also the most important goal.”

TILBURG – On December 22, a Cornelissen trailer was stolen in Tilburg. The trailer’s license plate is OS-08-SB but has now been fitted with a French license plate.

The trailer was seen on December 23 between Winterberg and Willingen in the Sauerland.

Gerrit Walgemoet of Investigation and Recovery Service calls on drivers and holidaymakers to solve this theft.

“Recently we have received noticeably more theft reports of refrigerated trailers and/or trailers, but often loaded. The thefts take place throughout the country. A GPS system is often hidden in the refrigeration engines and this is known to the thieves’ guild. Our advice is to use a passive sounding transmitter,” Walgemoet advises.

If you have seen the above trailer parked or driving somewhere, you are requested to contact Gerrit Walgemoet of Investigation and Recovery Service, telephone number 06 15030163, available 24/7.

SITTENSEN – Last Monday, the German police started a check with the “GoPro” with the aim of “distraction in traffic”.

Serious traffic accidents also happen again and again on German roads. Tragically, these often end in death or result in serious injuries to the vehicle occupants.

One of the main causes of accidents is distraction in road traffic, be it through smartphones, tablets and other technical communication and entertainment devices, or distraction through general behavior not related to car and/or truck driving.

While the presence of technology is constantly increasing, danger awareness is noticeably decreasing. The police are therefore increasingly focusing on dangerous and immediately underestimated behavior and are trying to make road users aware of this source of danger.

To punish the violations with evidence and also prevent false punishments, the “GoPro” was introduced as a special tool. This camera is mounted on the patrol car. This provides a better viewing angle in the truck cabin.

If a violation is found, a video recording is now made, which can be used as evidence in the proceedings. The technology also offers the possibility to view the video recording on site. In many cases it has been found that simply referring to the production of a video recording was sufficient to gain insight from those involved.

In addition to imposing fines, the officers’ main concern is to increase road users’ awareness of the specific dangers of distraction in road traffic and thus contribute to road safety.

To date, more than 40 fine procedures have been initiated as part of this audit. Many of these were documented and punished using video recordings. The control measures will last until Sunday.
