I have also sren a plate like that, in the province of Jaén (Spain), when I was going to Granada. I think it was SB 29 JLO (I don't remember it very well) and it also was remade using Spanish font an also with eurobande.

A lot of Spanish truck operators who have trucks driving across Europe, will get special operators licenses in Romania and Bulgaria, register their tractor units in these countries, and employ drivers from these countries too. It works out incredibly cheaper for the company, paying little tax and other overheads on the truck/license registration, plus paying the Romanian and Bulgarian drivers the lower wages that they'd be on if they worked for a Romanian/Bulgarian company.
This legal loophole is exploitative to the drivers, especially since they'll hardly get any money for living expenses, whilst out in Europe for weeks or months at a time, and receive little training for the job too. It's not just Spanish companies which use this loophole, I often see trucks working for Scandinavian, Luxembourger and Italian firms, with trucks on Romanian and Bulgarian plates, employing drivers from these countries. I do like spotting trucks from these countries, though I do feel for the drivers, who are away from their families for such a long time.

Yes, I can confirm that this is happening in Denmark as well. Trucks and trailers owned by danish companies, but running on license plates from Romania, Bulgaria and Poland, and driven by truckers from either these countries or - a recent trend - countries like the Philippines!
Their living conditions are often extremely poor, spending most of their time parked idle on motorway roadside parking lots or in primitive camps on sites owned by the operators, where they live in containers. Sometimes there's a police raid on a camp, leading to scandals and public outrage, but it only lasts for a few days, then everything seems to be forgotten and the misery can continue.
It makes me sad, that these drivers find such conditions more attractive than the alternatives, but maybe the recent trend of using Phillipine drivers is a sign, that drivers of Bulgaria, Romania and Poland are finally fed up and demand better conditions.
