CONTRACT CHARTERS
FROM CARRIER TO CONTRACT PARTNER.
The European transport market is changing fast. Costs are rising, regulations are getting stricter, volumes fluctuate and good drivers are scarce. It’s not just about working harder. It’s about better support.
At Jan de Rijk Logistics, we don’t see charters as standalone capacity, but as fixed partners within our operation. With stable volumes, clear agreements and a digital way of working that makes planning, execution and communication easy. This means you’re not working alongside our network, but connected to our operation.
FROM AD-HOC TO STABILITY
LESS PRESSURE. MORE CONTINUITY.
Driving ad hoc gives freedom, but also uncertainty. Short-term work, fluctuating volumes and pressure on margin make it hard to plan ahead.
As a contract charter, you work within a planned European network. You get structural flows, clear agreements and more predictability in your operation. This means you’re not just building up trips. You’re building up stability.
ONE NETWORK. ONE WAY OF WORKING.
PART OF A STRONG EUROPEAN NETWORK.
Driving internationally brings complexity. Different countries, different rules, different expectations.
As a contract charter, you connect to our European operation. One network, one system and one way of working. With planning, execution and follow-up that align. This gives you access to stable flows across multiple countries, without having to carry all the complexity on your own.
DIGITALLY CONNECTED
EVERYTHING CONNECTED. EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.
Good collaboration starts with clear information.
That’s why we’ve built our charter operation on a strong digital foundation. Planning, trip information, communication and follow-up all come together in one clear way of working. You receive the information you need to drive well, without unnecessary phone calls, scattered messages or duplicate work.
For drivers, this means clear instructions and less friction en route. For planners, it means better visibility into execution and faster response when something changes.
Everything connected. Everything clear. Everything focused on a flow that keeps running.
Less daily pressure. More control on the road.
DRIVERS FIRST
GOOD DRIVERS DESERVE GOOD SUPPORT.
Good drivers stay where they feel valued.
That’s why we invest in realistic planning, clear instructions, less waiting time and access to Jan de Rijk trailers and facilities. Drivers know where they stand, where they’re going and when they’ll be home.
This brings peace of mind on the road and helps you retain good people.
BUILT FOR PREDICTABILITY
CLEAR AGREEMENTS. TIMELY PAYMENT.
Cash flow matters. Especially in a market under pressure on costs and margins.
That’s why we work with fixed contract terms, protection against fuel price fluctuations and fast payment. This gives more financial predictability and fewer surprises. More stability in your business. More room to plan ahead.
READY FOR REGULATION
PREPARED FOR WHAT’S NEXT
European transport regulations are becoming stricter. Compliance demands more attention, time and administration.
As a contract charter, you work within an operation where digital reporting, monitoring and procedures are already built in. This keeps you better prepared for current and future requirements, without having to carry it all on your own.
STABILITY IN THE NETWORK
WHY THIS KEEPS WORKING.
Jan de Rijk Logistics offers scale, structure and continuity. With a European network, a strong operation of our own, digital systems and experienced planners, you work within an organisation that understands transport. Not from behind a desk, but from day-to-day practice.
For contract charters, that means: clear trip information, less administrative pressure, fast follow-up and one way of working. That makes working together easier, more pleasant and more reliable.
One partner. One system. One way of working.
Digital where it helps. Human where it counts.
