Transport en Logistiek Nederland (TLN), representing 5,000 Dutch transport entities, has highlighted significant delays and inadequate conditions at UK border posts following Brexit. The facilities for drivers at these posts are criticized for being insufficient, often lacking basic amenities beyond water. A detailed report by TLN, shared with the Guardian, voices concerns from hauliers about drivers' reluctance to undertake UK jobs under current conditions. TLN urges the UK government and port authorities to enhance facilities for drivers at these locations. It claimed that often companies can receive bills of between £300 and £800 for checks at privately run border posts but have no information on what checks took place.
