The problem is that Brexiters on TV assume the same border arrangements exist for lorries as they do for everyone else I think. I saw one of them cite the Swiss border would be easy but they were talking about driving though it as a visitor, goods have a special line IIRC. I dunno, no expert on Swiss customs checks
