Customs controls undeclared work: 118 drivers examined!

A dramatic day for the Heilbronn region and Tauberbischofsheim! Last Tuesday, the Customs (FKS) financial control carried out a large-scale control in the freight forwarding, transport and logistics industry. At a total of six checkpoints, including the Hohenlohe North and South tank and rest area on the A 6 motorway, 61 emergency services were mobilized to question drivers of trucks and vans. The reviews aimed at ensuring compliance with social security obligations and the minimum wage, as well as uncovering illegal employment and sham self -employment. According to Hauptzollamt Heilbronn a total of 118 people were checked.

The emergency services were not alone: ​​they received support from the control unit that had checked the goods transported in the vehicles in terms of customs and tax law. The measures are part of a preventive strategy to protect the labor market and protect the rights of employees. Marcel Schröder, press spokesman for the main customs office Heilbronn, said: "The examination resulted in some facts in our responsibility district that we will pursue using further exams."

controls at several locations

The control took place at various strategic points, including a carofer near Kirchberg on the Jagst and a parking space at Herbsthausen. This targeted approach shows how seriously the authorities take the fight against undeclared work and illegal employment. The controls are not only important for compliance with laws, but also for the protection of fair working conditions in the industry.

The Heilbronn and Tauberbischofsheim region is only 62.38 km apart, which facilitates mobility and exchange between the two locations. The geographical proximity could also explain why the customs authorities are particularly active in this region. The inspectors have the option of switching quickly between the different locations and thus ensuring extensive surveillance, as reported by the Aprilpin.org.

A call to vigilance

The results of these controls are a clear call to all companies in the transport and logistics sector to check their practices and ensure that they are in accordance with the statutory provisions. The authorities are determined to proceed against violations and to protect the rights of employees. This is not only a question of the law on the law, but also fairness in competition.

The FKS measures are a strong signal that undeclared work and illegal employment are not tolerated. Citizens and companies in the region should be aware that such controls can take place regularly and that the authorities remain vigilant to ensure the integrity of the labor market.
