More than a million dollars a year on a semi?
Once upon a time, the logistics and transportation industry was the most popular way to make money. At that time, the number of semi-trailers was less, the goods were more and the supply of goods was stable. It was almost possible to buy a car, the income was stable, and the time was free.
Nowadays, the domestic economic level is constantly improving, and the development of various industries is to a higher level than before. However, with the influx of more and more vehicles, the freight industry is more and more depressed, low freight, poor road conditions, fewer goods, a variety of problems make owners more and more pessimistic. Many newcomers want to enter this industry, but they are not sure how profitable it will be. Today we will talk about it.
1. What license do I need to drive a semi-trailer?
Trucking used to require a B2 driver's license, the type that many car owners now have. However, although semi-trailers are used for road transportation compared with trucks, their models are not the same. Semi-trailers are tractors, so they can only be driven by an A2 driver's license. So new car owners who want to drive a semi will first have to apply for a new license.
2. Do you know the transportation industry before you enter it?
Driving a semi truck for transportation, especially long-distance transportation, is a very hard work. In this industry, the number of freight is closely related to the attendance rate, the year without rest is very common, in a large amount of time many owners tend to rest for a week not more than 30 hours, and even reach the state of continuous rotation, not only hard, the risk factor is also very large.
At present in the freight industry, a lot of resources are in the hands of the old owners, beginners want to get a share of the pie, no experience and resources is far from it, at least need a master to lead their way, how to find goods, how to transport goods, freight how to negotiate, are the need for skills.
There are many uncertain factors in long-distance transportation. For example, in the south of the typhoon, a delay is several days; For example, the unloading time is uncertain, sometimes one hour late for the destination, we have to stop the truck at night, the next day to unload; All sorts of factors have to be taken into account, such as asymmetric cargo docking, platform sharing, etc.
3. How much do you make a year driving a semi-trailer?
The main source of income of semi-trailer is freight. According to the current industry's higher standard of 10,000 yuan freight for 1,500 kilometers, the total freight for 200,000 kilometers a year is about 1,333,000 yuan.
4. How much is the annual net profit of semi-trailer?
Calculate the total cost and total revenue, the net profit at a glance.
Don't forget, we also omitted some of the costs, so the actual net profit is still relatively less. Of course, many values in the calculation process is to obtain the industry average, there must be regional differences or other condition differences in the middle, owners can according to their actual situation, the specific calculation.
To increase the profit, there are two aspects: one is to increase the freight, such as reducing the weight of the vehicle, to obtain more loading space under the legal standards; One is to reduce costs, such as the use of cost-effective, long maintenance cycle, durable and durable parts. DARO trailer axle is recommended here, the representative of the domestic cost-effective trailer axle, is also one of the early mass production of integrated axle enterprises, changed the traditional welded three-joint shaft body, heavy load performance is stronger, more durable and resistant, with lightweight design and technology, product weight than the traditional axle reduced by about 15%. At the same time, the introduction of more advanced processing instruments, further improve the processing accuracy of shaft head, with special trailer bearings, hubs, etc., successfully launched 2 years / 500,000 kilometers of maintenance-free trailer axle, to help car owners save costs.
