I get a little worried driving past them with crushed cars on as they are piled in higher then the trailer.
These people don’t just target road hauliers ,they like some variety too .

They had one like that stopped at switch island a couple of weeks ago, when I past about an hour later it had gone so they must have been happy with it

I’ve been pulled twice in less than 12 months, never found anything wrong and as said they were polite and friendly, the only problem I have with them is they always seem to stop you when your only just going to make a timed delivery. Both times I ended up missing my booking time
If you have an booking time, I’m sure I read that if you show them this they will let you on your way, but ask you to present yourself for an inspection in the next few days. Could be wrong, but I’m sure it was in t&d a while back?

Your never going get all 3 agencies together the same time unless your caught doing something your not suppose be doing on a ferry.Even then customs or trading standards aren’t interested in the road worthiness of vehicles just type of fuel.
How many times do you need to be told multi agency checks do in fact happen? By people whose experienced them. Of course customs aren’t interested in road worthiness, that’s why it’s a MULTI AGENCY CHECK!
What we’re you doing when you got a multi agency check
Driving down a road it was on. They didn’t set it up just for me. Read Commercial Motor, big multi agency check normally get reported on with facts and figures.
I’ve been stopped in multi-agency checks, the one I remember was a few years ago on the Norwich Southern bypass, obviously VOSA then the was somebody checking I was employed and on the books, Customs and excise checking fuel tank, border agency or thier predecessor, checking I was supposed to be there, but I was born in Norfolk, so after I said "ahh ya olright boh! All was good, 
The main reason I remember it is they were stopping cars as well and they pulled a car into the layby he then speed through it, and out the otherside, quickly followed by 2 bike cops, I passed them all a little later having a chat in a layby.
I should think Multi agency checks by their nature are difficult and expensive to get organised, which is why you don’t often see them.

The first time I got pulled at Preston I did mention the booking time, he just smiled and said ‘don’t worry, if everything’s OK you will soon be on your way’, they still took about half an hour though

I’ve been pulled 3 times in 30+ years so salon gas your not working for diy dodgy I really wouldn’t worry
Well Dipper Dave!!
Maybe he thought you’d looked a dodgy bloke

I definitely looked dodgy in an old volvo on Irish plates.
They probably hear it all the time, drivers using the booking time as an excuse

I think you would have better odds winning the lottery than getting a multi agency check from vosa, trading standards and customs at side of road
from what I remember, you need to be able to prove the booking time on paperwork or text. I might have it totally wrong though (take note of that statement, not often you’ll read it on a driver’s forum!)

I hate to be the one to break this to you son. But you have to know.
They will put you in the back of a van and ask you a serious of algebra questions whilst shining a torch in your eye.
They will then repeatedly sodomise you whilst nibbling your toes, requesting that you call them daddy.
After this, you are put on a six month contract in which you must solve mysteries in a van with Elvis (who is not dead) and friends Simon and Dale cheese on the moon.
Failure to comply results in an intense tickling by all vosa officers for approx 7 hours.
ooo can’t wait, now that sounds like my kind of pull over

You’ve been stopped twice in your whole career and now you know it all?! Isn’t several people’s first hand accounts enough?

Sadly my parents weren’t born in Norfolk, probably the reason for my feelings of inadequacy, 
so I don’t have the advantage of the extra digit and webbed feet, however I have got some gloves with the extra finger, so I can fit in.

This sort of reminds me of the thread where somebody carried on insisting that it has never been possible to go straight from a car licence to a Class 1 licence without doing a Class 2 test in between, despite thirty or forty people, myself included, having told him that this was exactly what they had done.
They would even confiscate CB 's if you didn’t have a licence ,although I did hear CB licenses were abandoned now ?
