Life after Brexit: A lorry driver's journey | Times Reports

[@paulmartin1094]

I started driving freight into Europe in the 1970s,at every border had to clear customs with large amounts of paperwork,when I retired in 2014,I could travel anywhere in EU with one piece of paperwork,a self generated CMR,now it seems the UK has decided to return to the "good old days"best of luck transporters and exporters

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

PM. Erm sorry but just carrying a CMR was never really enough. Your company had to send digitaly your export documents ahead to the Eu country you were delivering into. And the same was for EU countries into the UK. You also had to supply copies of the CMR to the supplier, customer and leave one for yourself ie company. International hauliers in the EU and UK have always needed extra paperwork - such as road consignment (CMR) notes and ‘green card’ insurance forms ADR forms, High value load certificates or an airway bill if delivering air freight-cargo to a regulated agent, shipping handler or export agent. - for crossing borders. As i said a CMR was never the only thing you needed.

@@okbutthenagain.9402 He said he used to have lots of paper work, then didn't have to. The video shows the driver with the paperwork. That's Paul Martin's point. You raise another point. The international co-operation between companies and customs has gone. Puff.

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

@@Number9s . 'The international co-operation between companies and customs has gone'. Not really. We started preparing for a deal no deal brexit four years ago as did 26% of UK companies for example. It cost us time to contact each individual countries customs entity and arrange for a way to provide all our documentation and licences to be digitaly provided and set to those respective entities. Including the UK customs. As a result we have near to zero trouble at customs or exporting. It all just needed planning long before the UK left the EU.

[@kentsundell3751]

@@okbutthenagain.9402 so you had 4 years head start ? Deal was made in December last year that said what paperwork you needed to trade with EU

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

@@kentsundell3751 Yep. As we already asked the customs entities of each country we have clients in what was needed if the UK left the Eu, if the UK was declared a third country and left the customs union. Or if the Uk remained in the customs union but left the EU. We also contacted each client to see if they could recieve our products in each of the categories I've mentions. Then we arranged with each countries Customs entities the procedures needed to comply including taxation of goods and how to pay if needed.. We had everything from export licences to origin certificates to taxation and duties implementation and payments systems all set to go from a deal or no deal scenario. Everything from C.H.I.E.F. to the C.T.C, E.O.R.I. ( EU ) MOSS ( EU) we already had the UK versions. though we had a little trouble getting the CTC system up and running smoothly so it wan't going to produce any problems. We even got our professional qualifications and certification recognised in each of the EU countries we have clients in. Did it cost time and cash. You betcha. But we did our own risk assessment, risk management and got our act together. Lastly once the UK made public their plans for what was needed we found as did many that no real alterations were needed just some minor adjustments to comply with the new UK rulings and be in full compliance with EU legislations and regulations. In fact 26% of UK companies were in the same boat as we were/are after doing the very same things we did. And they like ourselves have little to no problems exporting to the EU or at the border with customs. The Uk border problem is down to companies failing to get their licenses,Origin and in the case of food stuffs their CFIA export certificate and/or health certificate for products.Plus their products must conform to EU food labelling requirements. For the fish industry that would be a EU Export Health Certificate. Something they failed to get even when it was known this has always been a requirement. As I said 26% of the UK's companies got their act together, with some of us starting four years agao and being ready up to two years ago for all of this. years before the Brexit deal was announced. Its called risk assessment and managment planning and using a risk mitigation plan. Hope that long explanation anwers your question.

Keagin Webb: Just to clarify, the current problems (like the one being discussed here) are due to leaving the customs union specifically, and not brexit generally. It was always quite possible to leave the EU and remain in the customs union. No one voted in 2016 to leave the CU as it wasn't an option on the ballot paper. Tory party policy in last year's general election was to leave the CU. 42% of those who voted chose to introduce customs paperwork and charges following the end of the transition period. Wether they were misled, or not, it is those people who bear responsibility for the current problems.

From a rather limited knowledge, it's for facilitating transit through countries other than sender and destination, and involves outbound customs check in sender country, then sealing the cargo compartment(s) with anti tamper seals. On intermediate borders only a limited check is done (including seals still intact), and then full inbound customs stuff on arrival in destination country. It could be used if transporting through EU to a non EU destination, but AFAIU doesn't apply from UK to an EU country, (u less a very odd route is taken).

Also you don’t see the TIR used much when trading with the EU as they have their own scheme - Transit (T1, T2, T2L) which allows a similar function but with more protections and guarantees.

The truth will set you free

[@timonsolus]

No, the slogan is ‘Work will set you free’. ‘Arbeit macht frei’ in German.

Small price to pay for the hundreds of millions the NHS is getting now every week 🙄

[@cytrynka6]

Send the paper work to Boris 🤣

[@damo0078]

Actually they should ALL send their paperwork to number 10 ! 😂

Ummm don't these companies have administrators?

[@JB_inks]

They'll be calling in the administrators

It's a bloody disaster and it's no wonder the Irish have decided to bypass the UK whenever possible to get their goods to mainland Europe. I mean who would intentionally want to go through all that hassle? I have a lot of empathy for those UK drivers who have no option but to endure all this on a daily basis. My heart goes out to them.

What a sad situation for lorry drivers!

[@jonahspiper]

No need for trucks and drivers to be going over the channel only trailers., trailer swaps would be far more efficient and less delays. Easy enough to have reciprocal arrangements with EU hauliers for their UK deliveries too. Jason wasted half a day just getting to Calais, he could've dropped his trailer, collected a full one from the port and got a few deliveries off in the UK instead of being sat around. Haulage industry moves slower to change than a dinosaur.

No one complained as much when the French where on strike every five minutes at the port's. And they will strike even more now we have left.

A couple of weeks in and the remoaners are having a field day. Every new venture starts out like a diamond in the rough. Instead of blaming Brexit, why don't you look for the real problem. The EU are deliberately delaying port entry for some vehicles. Whereas the UK are phasing in the changes. JIT deliveries have been a pain in the backside for 40 years. Lost warehousing jobs and more cost to the suppliers. With smaller production runs because it suites the accountants, but increases unit costs. I remember when you could walk into a car showroom and drive out with a new car within 2 hours. Now you have to wait 6 months. That's progress for you!

Four and a half years later lets sort the paperwork out?

[@abethegamerful]

People voted for brexit without caring about the consequences and the drivers that put food on our tables have to suffer as a result of that

[@helmutzollner5496]

Bravo Boris! What a terrific job you have done! But it's worth it, isn't it? And once you are booted out of government you can become a slum lord with a whole raft of work houses where you can keep a horde of kids in slave labour. Charles Dickens will be so proud of you!.🤢

The only way this gets better is by membership of the SM and CU.
