Does the cargo platform need to be cancelled?
The freight platform is a product of the development and growth of Internet technology, and its main role is to integrate and publish scattered information about goods and vehicle sources, so that the owners and owners can directly connect with each other online, and get rid of the control and monopoly of goods source information from the distribution station.
According to the reason, the emergence of the freight platform, to a certain extent, to avoid the phenomenon of middlemen to earn the difference, is a good thing. But the reality is that many owners are troubled by the existence of the freight platform, and even to the extent of "hate to the bone".
1, one of the most important reasons is to pressure the price competition, with a reference price significantly lower than the market price to guide the final transaction price.
This is also the most criticized point for many owners.
Taking a freight platform as an example, the determination of freight there are two modes of price or telephone bargaining, one price refers to the owner of the order, the successful owner of the order signed an agreement directly with the owner; Telephone bargaining is the owner and the owner of the contact to negotiate the price, determined after the signing of the transport agreement. Under normal circumstances, the platform will recommend a price model, and provide a freight reference price, but many owners think that the reference price is often significantly lower than the market price.
Is it better to negotiate over the phone? Some owners have reflected that the freight platform not only uses the reference price to lower the price, but also takes the initiative to contact the owner and guide it to lower the price trailer axle.
According to the owner's description, in one order, he has talked to the owner of the freight, the price is 8,500 yuan, did not expect the platform's customer service directly to call the owner, said that the freight price is high, and said that the price of 6,000 yuan on the platform will be accepted. As a result, the owner and the owner are fellow villagers, so the recording of the customer service was sent to the owner.
Not only that, the freight platform will also use the advantage of resources to induce the owner to make a price grab, some obviously loss-making orders, they do not pick up, peers will also pick up, many owners are suffering from this, after all, can earn a car loan money is also good, the result is that the freight is getting lower and lower.
2, in addition to the price reduction, the freight platform also has the problem of non-standard operation, such as allowing obviously suspected overload orders to appear on the platform.
Before, some owners have reflected that the goods of more than 10t on a freight platform actually require 4.2 meters or even 3 meters 8 models to transport, this requirement is completely unreasonable, but the platform not only did not supervise it, but also allowed it to be released smoothly. Once the owner accepts the order, it means that it is bound to be overloaded on the road, and it is seriously irresponsible for transport vehicles and even other traffic participants.
Regardless of whether the main responsibility for overload transport in this case is the owner or the cargo owner, the platform is certainly not able to shirk the responsibility. So many people suggest that the governance of overload should not only start from the inspection of vehicles, but also from the source of governance, governance platform than governance vehicles may be better. After all, as a freight platform, we can not ignore non-compliant orders in order to make profits, and the supervision and guidance should be done well.
3, shirk the rights and other obligations, the owner of the order, freight and other rights can not be guaranteed, there is a problem platform failed.
According to the owners, on the freight platform, deposit, information fees, freight fraud and so on are very common. For example, source fraud, scammers disguised as owners on the source platform to win orders, and then disguised as owners, re-release information on the platform, looking for real owners for transportation. After the goods arrive at the destination, the fraudster directly contacts the owner as the owner to ask for freight, but the actual owner of the transport means a white run, and even take the oil toll.
But once there is such a problem, some freight platforms do not help solve, at most is to seal the fraudster's account, and then there is no below, the owner does not have too much time and energy has been spent here, and ultimately most of it.
Logically speaking, since the freight platform provides a trading platform for goods and vehicles, and earns profits from it, there is an obligation to maintain the trading order and protect the legitimate rights and interests of both sides. But in reality, the performance of some freight platforms does not seem to be satisfactory trailer axle.
Because of this, many car owners call for the ban on freight platforms. This is understandable, but is it really feasible?
Objectively speaking, if the freight platform is cancelled, the freight mode will return to the previous appearance, especially the owners of retail owners. Still can not do with the owner face to face, intermediary, information department or distribution station will re-emerge, to these intermediary agencies to find information, compared with the freight platform to find information, convenience and timeliness is much worse.
At that time, the source of goods and vehicle information is a monopoly, and the squeeze on shipping capacity will also appear, and most of the freight of the owner will enter the information department and the distribution station. Moreover, the information department and freight station can not eliminate the behavior of making a difference or taking a rebate, and finally, after layers of distribution, the freight to the owner's hand will not be much higher than it is now, to be honest. After all, now there are more cars and less goods, and it is impossible to compare with the time when "the motor rings gold." In addition, false information, high prices, can not get back the freight situation also exists.
In addition, many owners have adapted to the convenience and efficiency brought by the Internet, and suddenly cancelled the freight platform, many people may not be able to adapt. In particular, whether the new generation of car owners are willing to continue to stay in the industry is unknown, and those who are ready to enter the industry may also give up to join.
It can be seen that rather than cancel the freight platform, it is better to strengthen the supervision of its, from the source to solve the current problems such as price pressure, violations, non-standard, inaction, if the many problems existing in the freight platform can be solved, of course, it is a better solution. If the interview is not effective, it may be as proposed by some owners, the launch of an official freight platform may also be a solution.
