ANWB Road Guard strike increases demand for private recovery firms

A one-day strike by ANWB Road Guard workers in Flevoland was reported to have increased demand for private vehicle recovery companies. Stranded motorists faced longer waits or were referred to private firms, including Delta Berging en Transport, which operates from Almere, Lelystad and Emmeloord and received more calls than usual.

Delta also assisted after a four-car collision on the A6 between Lemmer and Emmeloord and towed a diesel car that had broken down because of an AdBlue fault. Additional employees were called in ahead of the Monday evening rush to help motorists needing assistance.
