Commercial transport of goods or passengers requires a licence. The licence lists serve supervision, not prospecting.
These 14 columns are included.
A transport company often has a head office and several depots or quays. Our records start from places on the map, so you see the sites where work is done. For selling vehicles or fuel cards the depot is often the right place; for accounting or insurance, the head office.
The statistics say nothing about fleet size. If you are looking for carriers with a minimum number of lorries, filter on website and review the list. Telephone prospecting is allowed if you check the numbers against the Do Not Call Me list beforehand; the list also applies to businesses.
We sell telematics for lorries and are looking for road hauliers (49.4) and warehousing firms (52.1) in the provinces of Antwerp, Limburg and East Flanders with a website, for a letter followed by a phone call. How many records have a phone number?
