Grandad,
Any idea where that last picture was taken??? Looks like left hand steering and a European language???

It is a French truck but I suppose could have been photographed anywhere as it has TIR plates. TIR is an international agreement to speed up customs procedures throughout Europe and several Middle East countries.

Looks like it is on the north-south run (Pays-Bas is French for Netherlands)

I have never heard the word "lorriers" before but I suppose the Poms must have a word to equal American "truckers" or Australian "truckies"

TIR procedures
Lorriers making use of the TIR procedure must first obtain an internationally harmonised customs document, referred to as a TIR carnet. TIR carnets are issued by national road transport associations. This customs document is valid internationally and as well as describing the goods, their shipper and their destination, represents a financial guarantee. When a lorry arrives at a border customs post it need not pay import duties and taxes on goods at that time. Instead the payments are suspended. If the vehicle transits the country without delivering any goods, no taxes are due. If it fails to leave the country with all the goods, then the taxes are billed to the importer and the financial guarantee backstops the importer's obligation to pay the taxes. TIR transits are carried out in bond, i.e. the lorry must be sealed as well as bearing the carnet. The security payment system is administered by the International Road Transport Union (IRU).

The TIR procedure is mostly used with Eastern European countries that are not in the EU (e.g. Russia and Ukraine), Turkey, and parts of the Near East. Since the formation of the European single market, the TIR procedure has become unnecessary for intra-EU goods transport.

As a result of Brexit, TIR carnets could become part of the solution to merchandise traffic between Great Britain and other European countries, or for goods to transit intra-EU, for example between Ireland and mainland Europe.

Brocky,
Think the picture was taken in Holland
