Why Cant The Transport Company,s, Do Something

[trt]

for the drivers, who get fined for UK-bound stowaways?

Surely in this day & age of technology, they could find a solution to stop/deter migrants getting into trailers.

if the government make it the driver's responsibility not to carry migrants, the government can wash its hands when hundreds arrive every week.

neat eh?

Just need to electrify the outside of the vehicle to 16kV.

Easy to spot when they are trying then too.

I was just thinking that lorries, vans etc. should just have to drive through a shed fitted with a heat-seeking device. That can't be so difficult to arrange, can it? For best results this shed should be on the quayside at Calais!

Jourdain, a lot of the lorries have highly insulated 'fridge' trailers capable of carrying frozen food at -22 or less.

No heat seeking detection device will spot a man inside one of them.

OH came through Calais in a truck last week - he says it's terrifying. People are just hurling themselves at the trucks as they pass through the approach roads.

I still think it very unfair that the driver gets fined - half the time they have no idea that someone's under the cab, or wherever. They daren't stop and get out to check.

The rear of the Box Trailers could be fitted with an alarm on the locking bar at the rear of the Trailer Trt, this in-turn be wired into the Trailer's Lighting etc, the light Plug connects at the back of the Unit ( The Front End) the same could be done with A curtain sided trailer, the trouble with the curtain sider is the reinforced covered wire that runs from the front N/S+OFF/ Side of the trailer through the locking straps & meets at the rear of the trailer again into the locking bars, but they are that cute that they release the wire lock & re-connect when the Stowaways climb in, there is 2 ways to stop this, a seal clamp lock at the wire meeting point, some have started getting in through the roof of a converse sheeted roof, the same could be done with that trailer, the do use Drive through bays just like an EX RAY tunnel, but at the end of the day the problem lies with the French port or any port, they do not check the trailers properly, until that is done, they will keep coming.

They already have them jourd, and devices that pick up people breathing, and also sniffer dogs, but the amount of traffic that goes through, it would take days to check everyone.

:o( I relied on our terrier - perhaps small dogs might be the answer (flippant, I know, but they wouldn't let anyone on their trailer).
