You’re responsible for the whole chain.

In 9 out of 10 inspections of parcel-delivery subcontractors, the collective agreement is broken. Too little pay, unpaid hours, no holiday pay. And by law, the client is liable for those wages.

At Pentavia the chain is short.

You, us, and our own driver.

A long chain: client, subcontractor, sub-subcontractor, self-employed, paid per parcel.

The chain at Pentavia: you, Pentavia, our own driver.

We can get in.

More and more Dutch cities have a zero-emission zone for vans and trucks. Diesel vans are being phased out step by step: emission class 5 from 2027, emission class 6 from 2028.

The cabinet intends to extend the class 6 deadline to 1 January 2029.

14:00 · At the door

Small, on purpose.

We’re starting with two to three routes. Not because we don’t want to grow, but because we want to get it right first. In the first months, the founders drive routes themselves. That way we know every street, every address and every driver.

  • You talk to the owner. No middle layer, no call centre.
  • We know the route. Because we drive it ourselves.
  • Short lines. With few people, decisions are fast.

18:30 · Back at the depot
