In recent years, freight levels in the freight industry have continued to fall, and the income of car owners is significantly less than before. How much did the freight drop?


A car owner in Guangdong shared the operating costs of his nearly three years of running transportation, taking his 4.2 meter light truck as an example, the attendance rate is 65%, and the average day can receive 1.4 orders. The data he recorded showed that freight rates fell by 20.5% quarter-on-quarter in three years, an average annual decline of about 6.83%.

Although this is only one case, it also reflects the overall trend of current freight rates.


As for the reasons for the decline in freight, more cars and less goods, oversupply is the most fundamental and direct. In recent years, various zero-down payment, interest-free car purchase programs have made the threshold of the freight industry lower and lower, and the number of owners pouring into the freight market has become fierce competition between each other, and the decline in freight is inevitable.


In addition, the emergence of freight platforms has also led to a decrease in freight rates to a certain extent. For example, as trailer axles reduced the empty return rate, the overall transportation efficiency improved, and the supply of goods became more popular. Some platforms in vigorously develop the owners at the same time, to induce the owners of low-cost delivery, some owners in order to make a living have to reluctantly accept orders; Freight rates are often more transparent, once there is a precedent of low prices, owners can only grab orders at lower prices, so caught in a vicious cycle, freight rates continue to decline.


So some people proposed to cancel the freight platform, let the freight industry return to the previous era, many freight owners applauded this. What would the freight industry look like if freight platforms were eliminated? Will freight rates really go back up?


First of all, after the cancellation of the freight platform, the main channel for owners, especially retail owners, to find goods returned to the previous intermediary, information department or distribution station, we need to go to the crowded information hall, slowly screen their goods from the information plate. Compared with the freight platform, the convenience of trailer axles is definitely inferior, and the delivery time of trailer Axles has also been extended. However, I have to deny that in this state, the cargo is basically looking for a car, so the pressure is not so great. In addition, owners can often get together to talk about business, exchange experience and experience.

Secondly, after the cancellation of the freight platform, the logistics freight department can help the owner to deal with some problems to a certain extent, especially for some old drivers, who are more familiar with the freight department, do not worry about empty cars or not loaded goods being cheated, if the owner says that he can't get the freight, the logistics freight department can negotiate directly with the shipper. At some point, long-distance freight costs may also start to rise.


However, what we need to see is that the current freight owners have been used to obtaining relevant information through the freight platform, it can be said that it is almost inseparable from the network and freight platforms, if these platforms are banned, some young owners may choose to quit the industry, and those who are ready to enter the industry may also give up to join.


In addition, even if the freight platform is banned, the information department and intermediaries of trailer axles may still make a difference or get rebates. Finally, the freight fees distributed to car owners through layers of distribution will not be much more, and there may even be false information, high prices, and failure to get the freight back.

Therefore, the cancellation of the freight platform, freight may rise, but not necessarily, and the reasons for the decline in freight are many, can not be generalized. So what do you think of these freight platforms? Is a ban a viable option? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section.
