One of the more unconventional offerings comes from the Profile tyre shop, who together with Goodyear, are to offer free massages to truckers at the Koggestraat parking area by the Port of Zeebrugge.

The massages will be available onboard the company’s ‘Fitstop’ truck and trailer, which will have a team of professional masseurs onboard.

The full list of what is available to lorry drivers and where is available on the official event website. In most cases, goody bags and treats are being given away, while other participants are keeping their offerings under wraps.
