Not quite true. A quarter of a million vehicle checks a year take place at the border. Smaller roads don't have checks but you can't really send trucks down them.

Are you sure, I've not crossed a land boarder into Switzerland for quite a few years but I don't believe that to be the case. I cross the Austrian/Germany frequently and despite them both being in the E.U. there are still occasional boarder checks there.
Sky news report about the Swiss boarder...
