Pre-1990 communist times it was interesting to see trucks from Romania. The cargo was usually something like matches or cloths pegs. The driver and his wife travelled dressed in gipsy style clothes. Using the motorway services cafes was beyond their means and so they used to pull into lay-bys and boil a kettle and cook food on the side of the road.
Dont know about matches, pegs possibly, but it was more likely to be furniture. One of my neighbors in Romania always proudly shows me his certificate for being the biggest European exporter of rocking chairs 2001-2003. Of course he has sold out to a German company now and doesn't have to work any more.
