VTL operates in the truck transportation sector and is based in Alphen aan den Rijn, South Holland, Netherlands. In 2014, it merged with Gezond Transport and FUWA to form the Sectorinstituut Transport en Logistiek (STL), an industry body established by social partners TLN, VVT, FNV Bondgenoten, and CNV Vakmensen. STL focuses on integrated services that connect work, health, and education to respond to changing conditions in the transport and logistics labor market. Its core remit includes ensuring a steady inflow of well-qualified personnel through the training of apprentices via the BBL system, improving the employability of workers in the sector, and preserving jobs through the Mobility Center Transport and related sector plans. As part of STL, VTL offers services in four areas—entry and detachment, training and development, labor-market and mobility, and the knowledge center for transport and logistics—aimed at helping employers attract and develop staff and supporting workers' career progression. The market introduction of the STL products and services was planned for autumn 2014, with the existing offerings remaining unchanged until that time, and VTL remaining a point of contact for these services.
