Can refrigerated trucks also transport general cargo?

In recent years, the development scale of cold chain transport is getting larger and larger, many industries such as catering, fresh, pharmaceuticals, etc., need cold chain transport to provide support, so the cold chain transport market is also continuing to improve, and the number of refrigerated trucks is also increasing year by year.

Compared with ordinary owners, it seems to be more profitable to drive refrigerated vehicles, it is said to earn 8,000 to 10,000 a month, fixed supply, 20-30,000 a month is very common. Of course, the specific income is also related to the actual situation such as the source of goods.

However, according to car owners, in the transport market, some retail refrigerated axle vehicles have begun to compete for the general axle market, especially when the refrigerated axle returns, because retail axle owners have no fixed supply of goods, they will love the costs incurred when the vehicle runs empty. If cold-chain goods cannot be found, they will accept some ordinary goods to reduce cost input. Many of them offer lower freight rates, disrupting the general market to some extent.

There is no doubt that from the appearance, the refrigerated truck is indeed very similar to the van, which is a cargo structure, the difference is that the cargo compartment of the refrigerated truck has a refrigeration function. Turn off the refrigeration machine, and it's no problem a van. In this way, if you can find the cold chain goods, you will run the cold chain, and if you can't find the general goods. That sounds absolutely beautiful.

But the general cargo owners are not willing to, after all, the general cargo market has so much supply, the large pallet truck also comes to pull, the refrigerated truck also comes to pull, the key freight to be less, so the general cargo owners how to survive?

So the owners of the Internet to check, refrigerated vehicles can transport general goods?

The answer is basically divided into two schools: one is yes, refrigerated trucks can transport general goods, and even explained the precautions for refrigerated trucks to transport general goods.

One side is negative, and even appears to say that his refrigerated truck pulled up the goods and was directly detained:

So which is right? It has to be analyzed from a legal point of view.

According to Article 2 of the Regulations on Road Cargo Transport and Station Management, road cargo transport includes road general freight transport, road cargo special transport, road large objects transport and road dangerous goods transport.

In other words, road transport can be basically divided into four categories: general cargo transport, special transport, large cargo transport and dangerous goods transport trailer axle.

At the same time, the special transport of road goods referred to in these provisions refers to the use of containers, refrigerated fresh-keeping equipment, tank containers and other special vehicles for the transport of goods.

Refrigerated truck is a mode of transport that belongs to the "use of cold storage equipment", so it should belong to the category of "special transport".

In addition, on the operation certificate of the refrigerated truck, the scope of business is also clearly marked "special transportation of goods (refrigerated fresh-keeping equipment)", therefore, the refrigerated truck can not be used for general cargo transportation.

Do you remember that in previous years, blue card light trucks below 4.5t canceled the double license, and the original words of the document are "the use of ordinary freight vehicles with a total mass of 4500 kg and below to engage in ordinary freight operations, there is no need to apply for the road transport Business License and Road Transport License in accordance with these provisions"?

However, refrigerated trucks still need to handle the operation certificate, otherwise "the road transport management agency above the county level shall order the operation to stop; If there are any illegal gains, the illegal gains shall be confiscated and a fine of not less than two times but not more than 10 times the illegal gains shall be imposed; If there is no illegal income or the illegal income is less than 20,000 yuan, a fine of not less than 30,000 yuan but not more than 100,000 yuan shall be imposed."

This fully explains that trailer axle regulations do not include the definition of refrigerated trucks in general cargo transportation. If trailer axle is transported in general cargo, it is illegal transportation, and once investigated, it is likely to face punishment.

Only in the actual implementation process of regulations, there are differences in the strictest degree of law enforcement in different regions, and to a certain extent, it also provides convenience for the transportation of general goods by refrigerated trucks. But the owners should be clear that the existence does not represent reasonable, especially when the regulations are clearly defined, since it is a violation, it is best not to do it, after all, many areas for the "special car multi-purpose" investigation is still very large, and even special inspection of refrigerated trucks for general cargo, once investigated and punished, fines deduction points deduction car there is nothing to say.
