For the 📸
At the end of the day what can you do, if you let all that stuff to get to you, you will loose more than you gain.
This guy is just level headed, why should he get upset, there's nothing he can do about the situation.
"Always happy when there's a kettle of tea..." Hats off to Mr. Ellis for staying cheerful through this mess.
Just but without milk..Milk will be confiscated.
Inwardly screaming, outwardly cheerful. Credit to him for not getting wound up.
@@markvine3814 you have hit the nail on the head.
Proper English Dude. I love that. You know the worst in all of this? We all always love the UK. We always loved the energy, the music, the nightlife, the eccentricity, that's why I made my life here and had kids, 25 years ago. But you all won, I don't feel welcome anymore, I'll leave.
I don't know about this xenophobic, nationalistic nation. It's not the UK I know...
@@markvine3814 , us Brits are very stoic. I'm a bit surprised at how......unhelpful the French and Dutch are being....SO childish, really. I suppose I should have known how they would react!!☺️☺️🇬🇧🇬🇧
The Sunday Times and the Times campaigned for Brexit as instructed by Murdoch.
I wouldn't touch either publication with a barge pole.
The hate mail and others blamed the EU for everything for the last 40 years
Yet here you are
“Freight traffic through the Port of Dover is running at 90% of usual levels, better than had been feared amid new Brexit red tape and another round of social restrictions to contain the coronavirus.
The port’s figures are higher than a U.K. government estimate of 82%, which was provided in response to claims from the Road Haulage Association that truck cargoes to the European Union were down 68% last month compared to a year earlier”
It could be good enough to use as emergency toilet paper...
Brexit is bigger than extra paperwork, perhaps now HGV drivers pay will go up to where it should be now.
I started driving freight into Europe in the 1970s,at every border had to clear customs with large amounts of paperwork,when I retired in 2014,I could travel anywhere in EU with one piece of paperwork,a self generated CMR,now it seems the UK has decided to return to the "good old days"best of luck transporters and exporters
PM. Erm sorry but just carrying a CMR was never really enough. Your company had to send digitaly your export documents ahead to the Eu country you were delivering into. And the same was for EU countries into the UK. You also had to supply copies of the CMR to the supplier, customer and leave one for yourself ie company.
International hauliers in the EU and UK have always needed extra paperwork - such as road consignment (CMR) notes and ‘green card’ insurance forms ADR forms, High value load certificates or an airway bill if delivering air freight-cargo to a regulated agent, shipping handler or export agent. - for crossing borders. As i said a CMR was never the only thing you needed.
@@okbutthenagain.9402
He said he used to have lots of paper work, then didn't have to. The video shows the driver with the paperwork. That's Paul Martin's point.
You raise another point. The international co-operation between companies and customs has gone. Puff.
@@Number9s .
'The international co-operation between companies and customs has gone'.
Not really.
We started preparing for a deal no deal brexit four years ago as did 26% of UK companies for example. It cost us time to contact each individual countries customs entity and arrange for a way to provide all our documentation and licences to be digitaly provided and set to those respective entities. Including the UK customs.
As a result we have near to zero trouble at customs or exporting. It all just needed planning long before the UK left the EU.
@@okbutthenagain.9402 so you had 4 years head start ?
Deal was made in December last year that said what paperwork you needed to trade with EU
@@kentsundell3751
Yep.
As we already asked the customs entities of each country we have clients in what was needed if the UK left the Eu, if the UK was declared a third country and left the customs union. Or if the Uk remained in the customs union but left the EU.
We also contacted each client to see if they could recieve our products in each of the categories I've mentions. Then we arranged with each countries Customs entities the procedures needed to comply including taxation of goods and how to pay if needed..
We had everything from export licences to origin certificates to taxation and duties implementation and payments systems all set to go from a deal or no deal scenario.
Everything from C.H.I.E.F. to the C.T.C, E.O.R.I. ( EU ) MOSS ( EU) we already had the UK versions. though we had a little trouble getting the CTC system up and running smoothly so it wan't going to produce any problems. We even got our professional qualifications and certification recognised in each of the EU countries we have clients in.
Did it cost time and cash. You betcha. But we did our own risk assessment, risk management and got our act together.
Lastly once the UK made public their plans for what was needed we found as did many that no real alterations were needed just some minor adjustments to comply with the new UK rulings and be in full compliance with EU legislations and regulations.
In fact 26% of UK companies were in the same boat as we were/are after doing the very same things we did. And they like ourselves have little to no problems exporting to the EU or at the border with customs.
The Uk border problem is down to companies failing to get their licenses,Origin and in the case of food stuffs their CFIA export certificate and/or health certificate for products.Plus their products must conform to EU food labelling requirements.
For the fish industry that would be a EU Export Health Certificate. Something they failed to get even when it was known this has always been a requirement.
As I said 26% of the UK's companies got their act together, with some of us starting four years agao and being ready up to two years ago for all of this. years before the Brexit deal was announced. Its called risk assessment and managment planning and using a risk mitigation plan.
Hope that long explanation anwers your question.
and 9 months later, trucking is collapsing. They said “taking back control”, the reality is much less sexy! 🇬🇧
As long as we aren’t in the EU I couldn’t give a damn about any shortages. Almost everyone I know who voted leave was prepared for short term disruption. And some even for long term disruption. So many people just don’t get it. Millions of people here don’t want to be in the EU and are prepared to pay the price .
Because not everyone puts money and things first you know .
@anthony, short term? Hahahhaha you are in for s shock selfish git
@@Lifelongloser . As long as you don't have to deal with the b.s. init?
Truckings not collapsing, never been a better time to be driving imo, warehouses crammed to the roof with goods because there was nowhere else to put it, as it couldn't be delivered due to covid closures, all those warehouse are being emptied now and drivers are busier than ever, there is no driver shortage just an excess of product needing to be moved, I voted leave and truly believe it's for the best, short term pain, long term gain.
@@Kresnov y government is now attempting to get ex cons and ex military to fill the void left by drivers, no one respects drivers, most facilities for truckers are rancid. No one wants to be a truck driver for the pennies they pay. Who wants to spend long hours away from your family? Constantly fighting sleep? The food truckers eat is generally unhealthy? No exercise and you can experience loneliness!
What some people here don't understand is that, in some businesses, the line between profitability and bankruptcy is really thin. When add new taxes, time lost, new bureaucracy, some of those businesses will fold. This example with a truck driver is quite simple, but imagine this with other more complex businesses, like services, food exports, alcohol. This will not be funny.
Good comment. The margins are so tight. This is literally the end for some businesses.
Not only that, supply chains tend to change too adopting to price increases and that is hardly good for Britain.
Agreed. This is going to be a rough year.

Was not the Brexiteer slogan '' Vote Brexit, we need to escape the European Bureaucracy ?!? '' :))) That did not age well...
"But now we know who is coming into our country"
@@DavidSmith-oy4of Since the UK was never part of the Schengen area, you knew even before Brexit who was coming into the country.
The madness that is Brexit. Feel sad for those who voted remain and end up with this and other matters which sadly will only get worse. Good luck to all affected.
@@Arsenic71 Well, not really, because the UK is not tracking who stays. Remember Theresa May's claim that tens of thousands of Chinese students just stayed to work? When scrutinised it turned out that the claim was enitrely untrue. But it took months to find out, because the UK system is as oldfashioned as a bowlerhat.
Maybe they like it like that, because this way they can just make up stuff to support their point, instead of looking at facts.
And it was successful. The escaped the fictitious EU bureaucracy and replaced it with a shitload of real British bureaucracy.
At the end of the day Brexit is one massive protectionist policy. Tories don't like to compete at eye-level.

"Rewind the clock back to 2016 and don't even think about having a vote"
Bang on. This driver, salt of the earth, knows the score. Brexit is and will be a disaster, until we get a proper EFTA agreement and that means paying into EU coffers again (which will will be doing until 2060 anyway, for various outstanding debts etc).
There was no great public demand for a referendum on EU membership. It was only a tool by PM Cameron to silence the more extreme elements within his party stave off UKIP. Problem was, he lost!
Why would the EU be interested in a full EFTA with the UK? That's not going to happen outside full EU membership.
Why would EFTA admit the UK? The smaller countries have different interests, the UK brings instability and insanity
Didn't the EFTA nations clearly tell the UK to stay out of EFTA, as they rightfully assume the the UK will pursue its own policies and likely will poison the relationship the EFTA states have with the EU.
No, the UK was an EU heavy weight, who initiated and drafted a VERY large part if the EU legislation. Kudos for that, but the UK political class never bothered to explain the politics initiatives inside the EU to the voters. Instead they used the EU for decades to push through unpopular rules and laws, many of which they had initiated in the first place.
@@RobBCactive Technically, the UK was a founder member of EFTA back in 1960.
i.e. By not rejoining EFTA, we didn't just go back to the 70s with Brexit - we went back to the 50s...
Cost 6 hours, 1 truck, 1 one way journey. There are 8,000 journeys every day from Dover, is there not?
And they said it would easy peasy, sunlit uplands and unicorns, cup cakes with cherries. The Brexiteers were lied to, day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year.

I love Jason. He has such a gold heart 🥺. I think it’s disgusting that lorry drivers all around have to deal with this mess it really is. But we should be thankful and grateful for everything they do for us in a way, cause without them. We wouldn’t have anything.
When I first heard about a vote to leave the EU my first thought was "How is it going to affect imports and exports" - the sad truth is a lot of people just saw it as a good reason to stop foreigners coming here (my father included) ☹️
Unfortunately someone took the lid of the tin of xenophobics in the UK and all they could see is Johnny foreigner and never looked past that point. The fact that borders have two sides never crossed their minds. We fought a war against the far right but someone let them in the backdoor. It will break up the UK that they all fought for such a shame.
At the end of the day, blame the government, specially Blair who signed the foreigners in straight away, were as Germany, Austria, Holland and more took the 7 year cooling off period to see what happened and probably get organised, Blair the liar said they thought only 10,000 would come from all them poor country's 4 million later, and average 200,000 a year were a small island, also a government that only takes and gives nothing, think about it they don't build housed for our own people never mind millions of foreigners, and schools, doctors, dentists, all full these days, the government just didn't back immigration with infrastructure, that's why most of the 17 and half million people voted leave, don't blame us, we were just thinking of our kids and grandkids futures with homes and everything else, we couldn't go on forever with unlimited migration.
@@mickharrison9004 was Brexit to stop all immigration, and stop economic migrants that don't integrate well into western society? is a person from Germany, Holland or Austria classed as this?
I think the EU should have forseen it. There are people who don't want so many foreigners in every country. But the EU did nothing to slow it down. And then the brilliant decision of Angela Merkel to open the German borders for refugees has only fuelled these fears.
@@justmythought7658 I agree what Angela Merkel done in 2015 was disastrous. however, those weren't western immigrants trying to flee social/economic problems, and brexit was said stop to all immigration. I just want to find out if western immigration is a bad thing to your original statement?

That guy’s Dad was right but those who voted to leave didn’t have the wit or foresight to realise that U.K. becoming a 3rd country again things would revert back .... improved computer systems could improve things but that should have been fixed before now (so much for Gove’s facile empty statements that there would be a few initial ‘glitches’ .... he knows nothing and is too lazy to make any attempt to learn). I was involved pre-EU in exporting from U.K. so, like that guy’s Dad, I experienced this first hand.
Indeed. And the problem is that before EU membership there were not the just-in-time delivery and fresh produce supply chains that the UK is not a part of, but will soon fall out of largely.

By percentage around 50 % of the drivers voted brexit. +- so as far as I'm concerned don't be moaning about job losses to national news. How about you turn around to your fellow colleagues and tell them thank you 😊 the General uk public should take the credit they deserve. Its not like they where warned time and time again. Its like fishing companies parking outside downing Street as protest the other day. Height of stupidity 🙄 they shouted the loudest.
But, but, they said that it was "an oven ready deal", and that "they need us more than we need them".
What a bloody fiasco 🙄

Spot on.. 50%?
And the rest lad.. 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
By your logic, as a little over 50% of those who voted, voted for brexit, *nobody* should be complaining.
Keagin Webb: Just to clarify, the current problems (like the one being discussed here) are due to leaving the customs union specifically, and not brexit generally. It was always quite possible to leave the EU and remain in the customs union. No one voted in 2016 to leave the CU as it wasn't an option on the ballot paper.
Tory party policy in last year's general election was to leave the CU. 42% of those who voted chose to introduce customs paperwork and charges following the end of the transition period. Wether they were misled, or not, it is those people who bear responsibility for the current problems. I don't mean to 'lecture' you, but in order to solve problems we need to understand the precise cause of the problems first.
Brexit promise: frictionless trade
Brexit reality: tradeless friction
Wait so the government promised the people better trade deals with the EU, after leaving the EU? What??? That doesn't make any sense at all! Also, why leave with such a narrow margin...

This is all lies. Jacob Rees Mogg says it's all fine. And as we all know, he's a truck driver.
Mogg is still waiting for the price of shoos for his kids to go down, praying.
Is he now? You see, I always thought he was a professional lying p.o.s. My mistake. Thanks for enlightening me :-)
Jacob Rees mogg said the fish are happy too - he is a fisherman too - or is he a multi-tasks man
...But we have blue passports now, so it must have been worth it...
What a F#+k up.
lol zzzzzzzzzzzz
😂And they're not even really blue. They're black. And passport colour was yet another lie that Brexiters got away with. EU let you have any colour you want, the burgundy was just a suggestion. Any Croatian can tell you that. Now their passports really ARE blue.
I've got seven more years on mine, hopefully when I come to renew I'll be able to get another burgundy passport.
Yes made in france😂😂
Blue passports made in france
I will always love EU
I hope you don't live in the uk
There you go brits, this is what you wanted.

Would love to know where the mythical "Brexit Dividend" is in all this chaos.
As you say, mythical, a fantasy, a delusional nonsense that the UK was willing to buy.
I've heard that there is a problem with the paperwork to bring over all the unicorns we were promised.
@FlyingMonkies325 Faff all? How infuriating. Just like those adverts on TV telling us to "Get ready for Brexit" - before Bojo had even confirmed whether or not there would be a deal, and what kind of deal it would be!! In other words - "Get ready for Brexit" may as well have been "Get ready for some form of Brexit, but sorry mate we have no information on what kind of Brexit. Probably best that you assume the worst case scenario, despite my promised "Oven ready deal" over a year ago. Go spend money and set up like it will be a no deal, only to find that there is a deal and you've probably wasted your time and money. Sorry, we are utterly incompetent."
There is plenty of that going round. For us anyway - the Netherlands.
The EU is getting that dividend, UK companies setting up offices inside the EU which means jobs and taxes for the host countries, 30billion pounds a day leaving the city and going to various EU countries, etc...
Paperwork? In this electronic age?
It's a synonym for red tape.
Additional formalities take time, whether electronically or analogue. Look at paying in the Supermarket, it takes time and you queue, whether you pay cash or card, doesn't make much difference. On top of this come the physical checks.
Brian Clark: ummm... yeah.
Still a lot of paper needed if checked by police etc. do you really think computer systems will work together...?
Ironically, it's still the preferred method. Physical paperwork is universal - as soon as you move to electronic comms, you have compatibility to factor in. And we all know how well the govt deals with large IT contracts...
Are matey needs a pay rise .
We wouldn’t be alive without lorry drivers, we would starve
Brexiteers, well done.
The biggest mistake made in completing their paperwork was putting an 'X' in the box alongside Leaving the EU.
no it was not.
Sovereignty with extra salt and vinegar. Enjoy!
No just lazy companies NOT getting themselves sorted
Lol very good?

'No jobs will be lost due to Brexit' claims Lord Digby Jones .......... Brexit.......... Job Loss Index: 436,296 Jobs Lost As Of 31 January 2020..................
But but but the blue passport and the fish and the sovereignty......I mean this is totally unforeseen, it's not like anyone thought this would happen.
Brexit is like holding a referendum on whether or not to paint all houses in Britain purple. And they said yes, so now everyone's house is purple. But nothing has been achieved, no-one is happy and it just cost a lot of money and aggravation.
Except painting your house has the benefit of providing some legitimate protect.
I think those truckers over in Britain are being fined if there are delays and they are parked up .....something like 50 quid per hour or something. I mean give it over lads this is crazy.
It is disgusting. It is like kicking them when they are down. Trucking is hard enough as is it.
@@stephenconway2468 but you have your country back now. Lol
@@massinakmin8340 It was never lost. The only people lost were those who believed all this rubbish.
@@stephenconway2468Is it?
@@thebadbackbackpacker Yes it is. RHA has warned the government (and the population in general) just about everyday for more than a year. It arranged to meet Gove regularly. RHA explained what this would mean, so to blame them when it all goes pear shaped and fine them .... it is disgusting.
Unless I'm missing out something otherwise there is legitimate question to ask, and this is, what TIR convention is for? Isn't that what number of countries agreed in order to make moving the goods as frictionless as possible? Unfortunately this requires number of inland custom clearance points which I wouldn't be surprised British don't have bloody clue about, let alone have them created and staffed with qualified custom clearance officers.
"They need us more than we need them.....? "
We shall see, .... such a great deal it cannot be scrutinised, theres a clue. The list is long...
From a rather limited knowledge, it's for facilitating transit through countries other than sender and destination, and involves outbound customs check in sender country, then sealing the cargo compartment(s) with anti tamper seals. On intermediate borders only a limited check is done (including seals still intact), and then full inbound customs stuff on arrival in destination country.
It could be used if transporting through EU to a non EU destination, but AFAIU doesn't apply from UK to an EU country, (u less a very odd route is taken).
@@michaeltempsch5282 correct. Also you don’t see the TIR used much when trading with the EU as they have their own scheme - Transit (T1, T2, T2L) which allows a similar function but with more protections and guarantees. Problem is, hauliers have a limited fund to provide the customs guarantees for the T1, and the majority have already blown that limit
Don't worry, the benefits will show up in 50 years.
Rees Mogg said so himself.
The biggest winners are the happy fish
Do you know what the beauty of brexit is. We now have 100% choice. If we fail, it’s down to ourselves. And if we succeed, it’s equality down to ourselves. Choice is the underpinning of the reason we voted to leave.
Benefits already showing I.e. the vaccine rollout. EU have tried to make it as difficult as possible for us to leave, and are now upset to see us do better without them.
this is what you voted for
Con tutto sto casino che gli avete creato, questo signore ha ancora il sorriso.. Rispetto.

Questo atteggiamento 'continua a sorridere' è qualcosa di cui noi inglesi siamo molto orgogliosi :-)
Sfortunatamente, non sempre ci serve bene. Non abbiamo mai preso abbastanza sul serio i problemi della brexit. L'atteggiamento della maggior parte delle persone era:
"Oh, andrà tutto bene".
Non lo sarà.

This is just the start we are still in the transition. We will still have new problems arising in July. Hope he is doesn't mind reduced profits and increased work load. Hopefully he is employed.
No, we're in the 'grace' period, following the transition.

Came to learn about truck drivers instead I’m greeted with a bunch of remoaners still reeling in defeat. A truly bitter pill to swallow.
A bunch of remoaners? In this video? Where?
Nice one lad. Takes me back to sitting on a border after missing Revision in place and trying to get cleared in another. All you can do is your part. Buts it’s some fecker Sar behind a desk that cocks it for you. It’s was ok when every European nation was up against it. But not now. Hope it works out for your firm. We probably will have been forgotten about on six months time as European customers will go elsewhere
"the fecker Sat behind a desk" didn't ask for that! You, Britain, ask for that, and the whole of Europe is still wondering why would you shoot yourself in the foot? it's sad
Now try to sell your fresh products to China, India, Australia, the US, New Zealand, good luck.
You will have the same paperwork (for now), WTO and it's more than a few hours drive...
Paddy Dunne: The fact that the UK is not in a customs union is not the fault of "some fecker sat behind a desk". The fact that the UK is not in a customs union, is the fault of the people who voted to not be in a customs union, irrespective of wether they sit behind a desk or not.
@@patchso well played. You clearly have limited experience In import ans export
I feel sorry for Jason, but it is not my fault, because I didn't vote for Brexit. The most politically naive and economically illiterate decision in my lifetime. Thanks Brexiters.
The government won’t see this as a problem and will give the line of “” it will be sorted out within weeks””the uk government don’t give a shi& for the working class people who are suffering , this guy is going to lose his job and the company he works for will go bust
Why wouldn't they get a lot quicker with the paperwork?
Practice makes perfect unless you are a stupid remoaner then everything remains difficult
no matter how much practice you get.
This is just like a normal French strike.
If he loses his job it will be down to his companies 'can't be bothered' attitude over a bit more paperwork. All I saw was the result of human errors and inertia at the docks!
i hope he can keep his job and 'keep on trucking' he's a lovely chap thanks mate for working through the pandemic!
Sad thing is your average Brexit voter won’t care about this, it’s a small price to pay for their version of Sovereignty.
Did you actually watch this? He had the wrong paperwork which his company will in future, if they know what they are doing, get right. The delay across the channel itself was nothing to do with Brexit. That's not to say that Brexit has no effect but people clinging to Remain look for issues just as some Brexiters pretend there are no issues. This film shows there are some, likely to get better over time.
Send the paper work to Boris 🤣
Actually they should ALL send their paperwork to number 10 ! 😂
All i can say is the famous words of Nigel Farage Brexit means Brexit

These lorry drivers keep supplies, food, and merchandise moving all over many nations. Now the UK drivers need to keep a briefcase in their cab for all the customs paperwork to enter the E.U. ! The extra transportation time will drive up the costs of all products.
The UK drivers need a permit from a quota to drive in the EU, foreign drivers are refusing the runs due to the hassles and risks.

The vote was about immigration. Bob the Builder hadn’t received a pay rise for 20 years due to the influx of cheap labour. It wasn’t about trade. Joining the EU in 1972/5 was a good idea for trade, but it morphed into open borders and when you’re a rich country, that’s a one way street, hence 2

Im from Asia so just wondering if someone can answer my question. Don't truckers from Switzerland and Norway also face the same problems with paperwork and delays when crossing to the neighbouring countries, as both these 2 countries are also not in the EU?
3 years later, I know, but better late than never. Norway while not in EU is part of EEA, which is similar with EU but without the right to vote in EU matters, and Switzerland have a special agreement with EU. Both are also part of Schengen area, which is a group of countries with no border checks and no need for passport to travel between them.
