Are you an organizational talent with a passion for logistics? Do you have an eye for detail and the ability to make the right decisions quickly, even when the situation changes? As a Truck Planner at Van den Bosch, you will ensure the efficient planning of road transport. Together with your team, you’ll make a real difference in the logistics sector. Ready to get started?

We are Van den Bosch; The Supply Changer in Bulk. We believe that bulk logistics can be approached smarter, and we see it as our mission to create sustainable and tangible change in the sector through innovation, passion, expertise, and ambition.

In the role of Truck Planner, you and your colleagues in the Trucking team are responsible for planning and organizing road transport within the Benelux region, the Ruhr area in Germany, and Northern France. You aim to achieve this planning at the lowest possible cost, while maintaining the highest level of customer satisfaction, striving for optimal truck scheduling. You ensure that our trucks arrive on time at the loading or unloading location so that our customer's product reaches its destination in perfect condition and precisely when needed. This is done for both Van den Bosch truck-driver combinations and those of external parties.

Every day brings new challenges, and you must adjust your planning to be as efficient as possible. You excel in problem-solving and find energy in identifying the best solutions. You’ll maintain close contact with internal departments such as Customer Service and Master Planning (responsible for container planning). Additionally, you will ensure a smooth handover of the planning to the Fleet Planners, so they can translate it into clear and effective instructions for the drivers. It's important to stay calm and composed under pressure. As a Truck Planner, you will work at our headquarters in Erp, within the Trucking team, which is part of our Liquid Bulk division.
