wants to put an end to these working conditions but as truck drivers like me and are finding out it's a road that's paved with many blind spots. on the road today n. day out stephan dami an from romania has been a truck driver for 6 years crisscrossing through france germany spain a long way from home it's well paid he says but not easy for the born on the beaches some after a year but they don't want to go back there when you know. my daughter was only little. but now i realize that this is where jobs are supposed to correspond especially. stefan isn't attached north of bucharest getting ready for his next trip he's getting his 40 ton truck a once over he can't afford to break down in 3 days he's delivering an order to
12:49 am
a client in france. his wife and daughter bring him clothes kitchen equipment and food for the journey. he's been doing this job for years but it's still hard to say goodbye. stefan's a little worried use new mobility package was recently rolled out across europe and he's not sure how it will affect him more if a lot of people who told me they've been working nonstop for 5 months well it's to work. that's not how truck driving works. there are around 60000 romanian truck drivers working in western europe many spin their breaks and weekends sleeping in parking lots new legislation says the employer must pay for a hotel for drivers weekend breaks and they're supposed to go back home every 3 or

12:51 am
wondering whether all this makes sense within the given that if you know she had almost a fortune but money for your family. i can't see the purpose of this anymore but on the. romanian truck drivers have been able to earn 3 or 4 times the average salary in their home country but this will probably change we need to increase the slope of the drivers we need to pass the cost of the or mandatory hold tolls to do the clients so he says that many transport companies will survive with the extra costs those which can afford it are already looking for alternatives abroad. we ordered the start of 2 to 2 to move apart before where ration from rumania or was from concrete his firm already has a branch in northern spain. stephan dummy and crosses the border the next morning. a romanian official checks his papers while the hungary and official stay
