How did you found the borders with the immigrants passing some states?

It was a catastrophe.....

"Trip back just under 40 hours...yes... 40 hours !!!
Border crossings from Romania to Hungary, Hungary to Austria and Austria to Germany were just a complete nightmare..."

Just terrible at the borders....

Saw that in your post.Asking if at passing borders from Hungary to Austria/Germany you stop and show id now.As they are part of Schengen Agreement.If so,this will affect time for goods movement and shipping operators badly.Prices can get higher also for shipping?

I understand Germany temporarily suspended their inclusion in Schengen. The worst crossing was Austria Germany. They were checking every vehicle from what I could see, they checked my passport but not sure if they check every single one.
I think the Hungarian border has been tightened even further since I crossed - I would expect a huge impact on freight as they seem to have worse checks thsn simple cars..
