In a "free" market why would a Bulgarian be forced to operate only near Bulgaria?
As an example, all food in Romania is from the Netherlands or other foreign countries. But you don't see the EU imposing regulations to make foreign food more expensive.
Essentially eastern Europe is an exploitation market: everything is manufactured in the west, and when the east has an advantage it's immediately shut down.
This is also very polluting: forcing eastern European drivers to migrate to their home countries frequently, transporting food from western Europe to eastern Europe.

But this isn't about a Bulgarian person - this is about a truck registered in Bulgaria. That means that the registration fees and taxes, which are a national responsibility and are not at the EU-level, are paid in Bulgaria.
So if you only drive the truck in, say, France, you're essentially evading French taxes for the said truck.
Probably because Romanian farmers make more money selling their produce outside of Romania and the Netherlands and other countries can produce so much cheap produce that it's cheaper for Romania to import it rather than pay the price Romanian farmers are willing to sell it in the internal market.
