In Europe, especially in France and Belgium, transport inspectors often select trucks for inspections not at random, but based on their assessment of the carrier. This creates a risk of bias against certain companies. Lardi.Today learned about this from the Lithuanian Transport Union (LVS).
Companies from Lithuania, Poland, and Romania are increasingly facing unnecessary attention from regulatory authorities if their trucks are easily recognizable by advertising stickers or branded tents. This leads to endless inspections and additional difficulties along the route. Controls are usually carried out at toll booths, their parking lots, and large unloading platforms.
To avoid such situations, LVS recommends that transport companies refuse to place logos and corporate information on tents and use neutral or standard tents from European customers.
