When Huang Wei drove a two-axle truck loaded with steel into the weighing zone at the Chengkou Expressway Chengdu toll station, the cost display showed an overweight of 24 tons. Originally only to pay the toll of 238 yuan, Huang Wei paid 1352 yuan. "Pull this stock, iron is going to lose money." Huang Wei said.
A driver with a 10-year two-axle truck driver said that with the weight-based toll collection in Chengdu on June 1st, the two-axle trucks used for long-distance transportation suffered heavy losses. Former two-axle trucks that relied on retrofitting to profit, will now be unable to pass the threshold for tolls on highways. A shipping company owner told reporters that the company's long-distance two-axle truck will be replaced by a multi-axle truck.
Weight-paying two-axle car feel pressure
Not long ago, a serious accident occurred on Guanghua Avenue in Chengdu. A lorry rolled over when it was driving fast, flattening a Palio car and killing three people in the sedan. The cause of the overturn was the heavy overload of the truck loaded with stone.
For overloading, many citizens have expressed "deep repulsion." However, drivers of overloaded trucks have another argument. A truck driver surnamed Li said: "A two-axle truck with a 5-ton load carrying a Chongqing train without overloading would not only lose money, but also lose money." He said that truck drivers' income mainly comes from freight. The freight rate is based on the weight of the pull. "According to Chongqing, if we only pull 5 tons of cargo, the customer's freight will only be more than 600 yuan. If there are oil costs, tolls, meals, and labor costs, where will it make?"
Thus, for profit, usually two-axle trucks will be modified, "so that you can pull dozens of tons of goods." The driver revealed that because of this, drivers often choose long-distance two-axis trucks. "Although it is overloaded, the two-axle vehicle's fuel costs and tolls are much lower than multi-axle trucks. The two-axle car is cheaper and the driver can afford it."
On June 1 of this year, Chengdu officially implemented highway tolls. Master Huang is a truck driver who runs from Chengdu to Chongqing, driving two-axle trucks with a capacity of 5 tons. According to the charge standard before June 1, he carried 5 tons of cargo, and took Chongqing to 170 yuan toll. After the toll-by-weight charge, the toll for his trip to Chongqing was 85 yuan without exceeding 5 tons. However, if he is carrying 20 tons of cargo, which exceeds the approved loading capacity of the highway, according to the published weight-based charging standards, his toll is 292 yuan.
"Too much overloading, and the toll is astonishingly high." Huang said that many truck drivers of the two-axle truck obviously felt the pressure after the weight-based charge started.
The overload was fined more than one thousand yuan.
At noon yesterday, the reporter went to Chengdu Balizhuang Transportation Distribution Center. At this time, many two-axle trucks were parked on the roadside, and some drivers gathered to chat.
In Chengdu Yihai Business Logistics Co., Ltd., referring to weight-based charges, some truck drivers stated that they had experienced unprecedented shocks. Sun Zhengjun, a 32-year-old driver, said that since the weight-based charges started, the business of two-axle trucks running far away has decreased significantly. “Only a month ago, some of my friends who opened two-axle trucks had reduced their income by 30%,†said Sun Zhengjun.
Driver Huang Wei also described his experience. On June 1st, when the toll-by-weight was just implemented, he drove a Dongfeng van full of steel into the weighing zone at the Chengkou Expressway Chengdu toll gate. At this time, the charge display showed a total weight of 41 tons. Overweight 24 tons, the amount of 1352 yuan. The staff of the toll station said that the Dongfeng brand trucks opened by Huang Wei belonged to the two-axle trucks, and the highways accepted the approved amount of 17 tons. "This truck has exceeded 24 tons. According to the standard for toll-by-weight, the vehicle is 100% overweight, and the overweight part should be charged at 5 times the basic rate."
The screen in the charging window shows that the normal weight of the car is 238 yuan, the overload weight is 642 yuan, and the penalty is 472 yuan. “In the past, to Neijiang, no matter how you overloaded, you would only receive a toll of 130 yuan.†Huang Wei said that after paying the toll, he paid an extra RMB 1,222.
Since he was punished for being overloaded, Huang Wei basically did not run long distances. “Now we can't make money long-distance.†He said that if you don’t overload the highway, you can’t make money, and you can only take the ordinary road. "Although ordinary roads are not charged on a toll basis, the roads are far behind and the fuel costs and vehicle losses are serious.
The long-awaited multi-axis car welcomes a turnaround
When the two-axle trucks started worrying about toll-counting, other people in the freight market seemed to see hope.
Sun Zhengjun has a three-axle truck with license plate B24025. He said that since June 1st, his business suddenly got better. Sun Zhengjun said that prior to the implementation of toll-by-weight charges, three-axle trucks had been squeezed by two-axle vehicles.
Sun Zhengjun said that he often runs in Chengdu and Mianyang, and the impact of toll-by-weight charges is very obvious. Before Sun Zhengjun ran Mianyang, he spent about 600 yuan. Therefore, he usually charges 1,100 yuan for shipping. However, other people's two-axle vehicles have a lower cost than three-axle vehicles, so freight costs less than 1,000 yuan, and they earn more than two hundred yuan more than Sun Zhengjun. "In this case, the customer will certainly choose a two-axle truck and will not come to us."
Now this situation has changed. Sun Zhengjun said that after the June 1st, the business of the two-axle car was obviously faded, and his business started to improve. “After the toll-by-weight, the freight for the two-axle truck was increased to the same price as ours, even slightly higher than ours. This made the two-axle and multi-axle vehicles adjusted.†He said that if the two-axle vehicle is not overloaded The freight will only get more than 600 yuan; if you want to overload, you will not be able to pass the toll-by-weight, but multi-axle cars can easily avoid this problem. "I believe that the business of multi-axle vehicles will gradually become better. There will be fewer and fewer two-axle vehicles that will run in the future."
Shandong Yan Wang, a two-axle truck that opened five years ago, bought a five-axle truck with license plate K36282 recently. After the transfer, business came immediately. Ten days ago, he had just pulled 20 tons of cargo to Guangzhou, and the freight rate was 17,000 yuan. "It cost about 13,000 yuan on the road. It earned more than 6,000 yuan." Yesterday, Wang Hao received another business. It is to Guangzhou. "About six or seven thousand yuan." Wang Hao smiled very happy.
Voice costs have risen significantly
Yang Yangchang, Director of the Transportation Management Office of the Department of Transportation of the Communications Department, said that after self-provincial networked highways implement truck weight and charge, the maximum carrying capacity of two-axle trucks is set at 17 tons, which greatly inhibits the phenomenon of over-limitation of this type of vehicles. Many transportation companies have switched to more than three-axes trucks to run long-distance transport, while two-axle trucks are used for short-haul transportation.
Due to the heavy weight-restricting force on the two-axle trucks, the freight cost of our province has obviously recovered. Previously, the freight rate from Chengdu to Chongqing was as low as RMB 80/t. "Because of the serious overloading of two-axle vehicles, there is no obvious advantage for multi-axle vehicles, and the freight rate may sometimes be lower than the cost price." Yang said that this disrupts the entire transportation market. In the more than half a month since the implementation of the truck weighting charge, the freight rate of the lot has rebounded to RMB 140-200/ton, and the freight rate has rebounded by 30-40%, which has promoted the specification of the entire transportation market.
Overloaded trucks another channel
Chuangao company general manager Zhou told reporters that many truck drivers have calculated that the toll paid is lower than before. “Especially for empty cars, tolls have been significantly reduced compared to previous years.†As opposed to previous reports from logistics professionals who predicted that due to the weight-based charging policy, freight rates will “rise†to a certain extent. "The change in the toll-by-weight policy has not brought too great an impact on the freight rate." He said that if the transport vehicles are not overloaded, the toll fee will be reduced according to the policy during the trial period. The standard for vehicle classification and charging is still low; at the same time, the “green channel†policy is adopted for the transportation of fresh agricultural products, and tolls will not be charged as long as they do not overload more than 30%.
Ordinary highway is facing heavy burden
At the same time, most of the over-limit trucks were unable to go on high-speed and changed to ordinary roads, which also caused hidden troubles. According to Guo, the deputy chief of the high-speed detachment accident brigade of the Provincial Public Security Department's Traffic Police Corps, almost all over-restricted trucks have been converted to ordinary roads. In the past, these trucks will cause serious damage to ordinary roads. The relevant departments will soon crack down on the inspection of ordinary roads and crack down on overloaded trucks. At the same time, relevant leaders of the Provincial Communications Department stated that within the year, ordinary highways in our province will gradually implement the work of charging truck weights.
