35-YEARS OF RON ONDERDIJK

JANUARY 5, 2026 – TEAM MILESTONE

Ron Onderdijk has been bringing the rumble since the very beginning, back in the early days at Noldijk and Heerjansdam. From there to Barendrecht, first on the second floor, then for VBT from the attic between the archive shelves, and now here in Dordrecht.

For the past years, he’s been bringing the same unconditional energy and experience to Tunderman. An original. A force – 35 years in and still bringing the thunder.

Today we celebrate 12,5 years of Heleen Bakker. Her journey began when she responded to a local job posting at Tunderman Transport in the Europoort.

Still standing strong today, keeping us all in line and showing no signs of running of just yet. Here’s to many years of putting up with us.
