Jan de Rijk Logistics operates its own train

Jan de Rijk Logistics offers a reliable and economical intermodal door to door service that connects the Benelux and Ruhr to Northern Italy. Jan de Rijk Logistics operates an intermodal company train that runs ten times a week between Venlo and Melzo.

The transit time of the train is 24 hours from terminal to terminal. Before the containers are loaded on the train, the shipments are loaded in the correct unloading sequence. This saves time at the destination and enables a fast delivery at the final destination, just a few hours after the arrival of the train.
