What security precautions should a professional truck driver take to prevent cargo theft, fuel siphoning, and unauthorized persons (clandestine migrants) from boarding the vehicle during overnight stops?

1. Park in certified, well-lit, guarded secure truck parking areas (SSTPA / TAPA), inspect all mechanical seals, tarpaulin TIR cords, and roof sheets before departure, record seal serial numbers on shipping documents, and install anti-siphoning fuel tank baffles
2. Leave the trailer doors unlocked so thieves can look inside without cutting the tarpaulin
3. Park in unlit, isolated motorway lay-bys and turn off all communication devices
4. Never inspect the vehicle seals to avoid personal liability
