Fuel and tank container transportation is the main activity of our company. This has expanded greatly in recent years, which is why we have decided to stop our courier services from now on.
How it all started in 1980 with Adri van Waveren in the lead
Adri van Waveren started the courier service in 1980. The first client was her brother-in-law Peter Weijers who took care of the lithography / reprography for many weekly magazines, among others. In order to be able to deliver the material quickly to the next company in the chain, he hired Adri to transport it. The customer base within the graphic world expanded rapidly. Later, Marga, Esther and Annemarie (and other employees) joined in order to further expand these activities.
The customer base and the freight offer slowly changed to other branches, such as official documents for municipalities, but also pallets of printing, general cargo and lubricating oil.
Well-known firm “Muis Bij Voorbeeld” continues from Oct 1, 2018
As of October 1, 2018, Van Waveren will stop providing courier services. Partly due to natural attrition and the multi-deployable drivers who perform other activities within our company, we have also stopped the oil change service and this does not cost any jobs. The transport company “Muis Bij Voorbeeld” from Amsterdam will continue to serve our courier customers. This is a familiar sight for these customers, because this company had been hired for several years when our own people were on the road.
We thank our clients for their confidence in the 38 years of courier services.
