Question: Travelling to Calais

I am surprised at how many trailer doors are not secured. As a rule i always used the tir cord…then at the doors i padlocked the ends together…then padlocked them to the trailer, in addition i also padlocked each door. if stopped i had a good reason if they found any on board, as i had used all the security at my discretion…i cant do anything about cut curtains, or if they got in through the roof…but at least i did my best. Al;so use the official checks at the port if you suspect anything untowards.
