Italy. The d means perishable, the a means agricultural, normally for tankers and fridges

Agree with Italy, but I thought the A stood for “alimentare”, meaning food?

I agree with Harry. I understood the “A” stood for Alimentaire, signifying the trailer carries chilled / refrigerated food products. The “D” stood for Domenica or Sunday in Italian and signified that the operator / Trailer and load were authorised to run on Sundays.

I always thought that too, but it actually means derrate deperibili (Perishable) and derrate agricole (Agricultural) Not including animal feeds. We used to load fresh cream, milk, and eggs from Italy in tankers. We need an Italian speaker to confirm this.

Il primo si riferisce al trasporto di prodotti che devono essere trasportati urgentemente a causa della loro natura o di fattori climatici e stagional oltre agli alimenti destinati agli allevamenti animali

Cheers for that WheelNut, you learn something new every day! :smiley:

This is what Google Translate came up with for the Italian translation… “The first refers to the transport of products that must urgently be transported due to their nature or to climatic and stagional factors besides the foods for animals breeding”
