"They don't control their borders, once in France a truck can go anywhere in Schengen, so Italy for example may want to ban them but they have no actual way of doing so."
If Italy wants to introduce border controls, it can, as can any other country in the Schengen Area.
I am not expressing an opinion on the effectivity of those controls, I am saying truckers are not free to travel wherever they want to.

//This just proves what we Remainers knew all along - the EU does allow member states to control their own borders.//
Only in exceptional circumstances when extraordinary threats persist. In normal times no such control is permitted.
//So the Big Lie about being "swamped with immigrants" was just another scaremongering ploy by the deceitful Brexiteers.//
It was not a lie to state that 500m people had the unconditional right to live and work here. Whether or not the UK would be swamped by them is not the issue; the fact that they could come here and we could not prevent them was.
Anyway, been there, done that and we've left. That right no longer exists (despite the EU trying to make a trade agreement conditional on retaining it).
I think we need to move away from the exceptional circumstances that currently prevail. In normal times EU nations have no control over their borders. Schengen members cannot impose "hard" borders and non-Schengen members have no general right to prevent entry to EU citizens who arrive (leaving aside the very few who may be denied entry on the grounds of criminality or other threats).
