The word “CHAUFFEUR” comes from the French verb… “Chauf”. Which means warm. In the old days, when cars had no roof.
A person was sent out to warm the seat for the driver…A chauffeur! 
Surprised no one has said it yet so i will. had a transcontinental in the old day’s on TIR work to eastern Germany and Yugoslavia when it was big time communist. And said it stood for "“TOWED IN REGULAR” as it was not the most reliable of motors.
I thought rikki was going to cut out this needless historic thread resurrection stuff

It also came from the days of steam lorries when they had to make the fire and boil the water.

Thats the wrong interpretation of the word ‘chauf’, or the bad English transliteration to ‘chuff’ 
the moy meats 111 was actually a 140 with a 111 badge and ran out of the moy meat plant to the uk along side a brand new f10 volvo owned by mervyn coulter from castlederg and jim stockdale from the moy who has the tippers now mervyn passed away a few years ago but i was talking to my uncle who drove the f10 and he told me the mans name in the scania but will find out all for tomorrow night taranaki was a place in new zealand i think he lived in . frank mckee in armagh ended up with the scania and a woman bought it and it was painted a pink colour and white omg…

“Transports Interationaux Routiers”

The times I was asked that…& then had to interpret into English

Ok so i guess it says international transport something but whats the routiers bit?.
Droivers.// Truck Drivers ( In French Rollers )

Strictly speaking in this instance it means roads - Iinternational Road Transport.
The word routiers when applied to drivers is short for the term ‘chauffeur routiers’ and is really slang. The word for driver is chauffeur (literally from the word chauffe, heat, therefore the man who heated up the boiler (of a steamer)), or conducteur. Both are used officially.

I reckon even that might have been better than stoking the fires a 2 in the morning .

Can someone explain Open TIR to me.
I have done cross border work with TIR carnet, bond and manifest when my GV60 had expired, but I never got the gist of an Open TIR
I know you would use it for an abnormal load or something, but how?
I am very,very happy to say that I have forgotten & hope I never see another carnet TIR again.
