Hey Lars, I work for a danish company. Fairly large one to. DFDS Transport. Owned by DSV Samson. Hell I don't even know what the companies are now. It is a freight forwarding company. We just bought Frans Mass. Where is the car coming from again?

My guess is since they begain the loading early morning, they have had the lights on, and then they have poppen the hood at disconnet the power when it was pushed into the container....

If you cut the power when the light are up they will stay up..

THat my guess anyway, dont really know...
