Do you, like me object to opening your rear doors when leaving an RDC or wherever to prove that you’re NOT a thief?
I think the law of the land states that you are innocent until proven guilty, so why are we judged differently

It’s a long time since I was asked to open the doors for security, but no I didn’t mind at all, the security are just doing their job, I’m sure you’re not a thief but plenty of people are, so blame them.
I don’t mind opening the back doors at all…all the swag I’ve nicked is in the cab anyway! 
^ That’s a joke OK?!
I’m in the minority then 
We all know that all the stuff nicked from ABC Plc goes through the gate in an ABC Plc lorry with a seal on the back, which is right under the noses of security.
I don’t have a problem with the process of opening the doors & I have nothing to hide, it’s the view of the decision makers that gets on my man ■■■■■, stuffs going awol, it must be the visiting drivers, perhaps I picked the wrong phrase 
I put it down to part of our job, something you just get used to I suppose there just doing their job the same as we do
A new security bloke started at a place I used to work, this new security bloke decided to start doing cab searches, no problem there except that he wasn’t allowed to search drivers personal belongings, I wonder how much stuff went out in peoples bags 
Seemed like a waste of time to me but it kept him happy
When i worked a Panasonic, security used to check our own personal bags as well at the end of shift
i don’t mind them opening the back doors to check. so long as it’s them and not me, nothing to hide apart from the other half.

I used to feel like this too. One day at Tescos, Chepstow i went off on one on one of the guards who asked me could i open the doors so he could look in the back!!! Big mistake. He said i couldn’t give two ■■■■■ what ison your trailer but i have cctv watching me to make sure i check, so i check !! OK? I said ‘point taken , fair enough !!’
Years ago, I did a quite bit of agency work for Next. Whilst loading at South Emsall, 2 warehouse dudes asked me to “smuggle” some gear out for them.
I told them to get stuffed (actually my language was quite a bit stronger than that!) then I reported it to my boss back at the yard. Apart from anything else, I actually thought it may be a test of my own integrity.
I still believe that the vast majority of Truck drivers are hard working, honest people. Shoot me down if you think I’m wrong.

If you object to them looking in your trailer you should also object to using Tacho’s after all it is the same, I don’t drive bent so why should I use tacho’s it’s the same really

this new security bloke decided to start doing cab searches
And I’m sure they have no right to do that,unless a Polis officer is available.

This was at a place where I worked through an agency, it was there own vehicles that the security started doing cab searches on.
The yard I work out of everything is checked before it goes out the gate
