I've already seen them Eppel, but there's only the car in garage with a bit snow on it

He doesn't need his C4 before thursday and shakedown anyway

It will need to be scrutineered on Wednesday.

No doubt that if necessary they could arrange to have it done early on Thursday. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. What an extrordinary situation

Why is the car stuck there? No other drivers to drive the truck or what?

Yes.

Short terms: Three drivers; three trucks; all have a heavy bender during the last night before the ferry arrives in Göteborg. The ferry crew calls the police and they check them out. One manages to get away before the police strikes - he is M.I.A. (possibly camps somewhere on a not so heavily traficated road to get the alcohol out of his system before risking bumping into the cops again). The other two are busted, one is even so drunk that he's currently under arrest and the trucks (with cars and gear on) are for now impounded.

Also did read somewhere that no company here can right now "take over" the shipment. Maybe trouble with insurance or toll declarations?

wow! hope they get the trucks out in time!

If its only logistics issue, I think they will sort it out. I just worried about any legal issues related to the offence that will prevent the release of the trucks.
Normally, it shouldn't be.
