H.ESSERS

H.ESSERS is a large Belgium-based trucking company operating multiple departments with diverse cargo types including refrigerated transport (frigo), curtain-side trailers (shtora), containers, and silo transport. Drivers report that the company previously offered better working conditions but has since declined in quality. The work involves frequent unloading operations, sometimes up to 15 times per day in city centers like Paris, combined with 3-4 loading operations. A significant portion of loads (approximately 90%) involve ADR (hazardous materials) transportation. Different cargo types have varying operational characteristics: container transport typically involves unloading only at ports with 15-minute turnaround times when no queues exist; security transport (tobacco, alcohol) has minimal ADR requirements with unloading at large logistics companies; and refrigerated transport generally avoids ADR loads. Drivers show interest in silo transport positions but lack contact information for recruitment. Overall, the company maintains operations across Western Europe with Belgium as headquarters, though driver sentiment suggests working conditions have deteriorated over time.
