TRUCK & BUSINESS 272

The moment Peter Brock from sponsor Mercedes-Benz Trucks opened the cover with the name of the new Transporter of the Year, the tension on stage was palpable. When the name Snel was announced, everyone who was near table 133 witnessed an unprecedented outburst of joy.

It is precisely at these moments that a major event such as the Transport & Logistics Awards proves itself year after year as a real added value. This event rewards the best practices in a sector that must constantly reinvent itself (the assets that earned Snel the title of Transporter of the Year in 2011 would be described as 'ordinary' today). The Transport & Logistics Awards demonstrate year after year that the road transport sector is a collection of passionate women and men who practice their profession with pride. Even if they increasingly use tools and systems, they remain men and women who make the difference between an average company and an excellent company.

Several (large) transporters are coming to Passion4Trucks to celebrate with their drivers. You'll be there too, right?

This passion is also characteristic of the drivers, and on 20 June they will be able to express their passion exuberantly in Groot-Bijgaarden. At national level, there was no large community event for drivers. TransportMedia is closing this gap! Passion4Trucks is confident that it will unite 5,000 drivers and the 250 most beautiful trucks in the country for a day full of useful and enjoyable moments: a Job Day 'by TL Hub', five truck convoys that will meet at Brussels Kart Expo and will be welcomed with all the bells and whistles, an elegance competition (if you have a 'vintage', register quickly, but we have also thought of the 'more modern' versions), the award ceremony of the Love2Truck competition (a reward for the most passionate drivers in Belgium), concerts and celebrities (Balthazar Boma is the sponsor of our event!)… In short: a unique happening for all truck lovers! Several (large) transporters even come with their drivers to party. Are you one of them? In that case…, appointment on June 20th!
