So what do you think now IndigoJo. Any (2nd) thoughts…?

I haven’t read the whole article but i think it’s natural for anyone who knows anything about how road transport works to initially think the driver was likely to be an innocent party in the tragedy.
I’ve seen people on this board criticised for initially saying he was probably innocent of any wrong doing, but half of us on this board have picked up trailers from docks and know that very often there’s no way of knowing exactly what’s in the trailer.
But yes, from the little I’ve read of that article I imagine that whoever wrote it probably now wishes he hadn’t.
Regardless of what the news media were saying, one look at the pictures of that truck parked up in the trading estate and I knew that it was a fridge trailer and not a container. Maybe I am a cynic, but I assumed that the driver (then unknown) had gone there to let his “cargo” out.
All this stuff about seals and container handling is just smoke and mirrors.
