European trucks cross multiple countries during a trip with the same driver. In France, by looking at the vehicle plate, trucks come from Spain, Portugal, Lituania, Poland, Germany, etc Those are 2 to 3 days trips.


This. In the EU, trucks drive from Finland to Portugal, same driver. Americans really don't get Europe.


The opposite is also true. Europeans often do not understand how just how big America is.


USA's land area is smaller than Europe, but not by much, so I think it's fair to treat it as a non-factor. But the story changes if you also include Mexico and Canada...


And forget that Canadian and Mexican trucks are also transiting the borders.
