There has been a media survey of different types of transport owners, and their average salary level is about as follows:


13 meters high hurdles: 10,000 yuan


15 meters refrigerated truck: 13,000 yuan


6.8 Refrigerated truck: 8000 yuan


7.6 meters refrigerated truck: 8,000 yuan


9.6 Car: 9000 yuan


Dangerous goods: 16,000 yuan


4.2m: 7,000 yuan


Courier: 9,500 yuan


Thus it can be seen that the wage level of refrigerated semi - hanging transportation is the medium, not much more. In addition, now the industry standard is getting higher and higher, in order to obtain reliable income in cold chain transportation, the configuration of the vehicle should not be too low, which leads to the high cost of car purchase. Secondly, driving refrigerated semi-trailer transport, earning more or less is very important to the source of goods. If you can be attached to a logistics company or a large enterprise, there are endless goods every day, or an individual can find a fixed distribution and delivery of goods, it is certain to make money, but if you have no contacts or relationships in the cold chain transportation industry, and no veteran can take their own, Making money or not is a different matter. Moreover, refrigerated semi-hung transportation demand is large, but the experience requirements of the owner is also relatively high, how to control the cargo loss rate in different temperatures, different weather, different road conditions, is also very key, otherwise it is likely to lose tens of thousands of dollars a trip. Finally, the rate of depreciation of refrigerated vehicles is very large, if you feel that you can not return the money within two years, it is recommended not to enter this industry.

To sum up, refrigerated semi-trailer to make money, the main difficulty is the following:


1. The purchase cost of refrigerated semi-trailer is high. In the absence of industry resources and supplies, high investment means high risk.


2, choose a suitable car is not easy, especially in the case of not too much industry experience, choose a suitable, high reputation of the car, I am afraid it is more difficult.


3. The cost of car ownership is high. For example, where to raise a car and find what kind of shop is not pitted, these experiences also need experienced people to help or guide.


4. Experience problem, as mentioned above, if there is no experience in cold chain transportation, the freight is not enough to buckle.


5, freight, this is directly related to the owner's income, if the novice refrigerator truck driver does not understand the market, do not know how to talk to the shipper about freight or bargaining, this is also very key. If you can have an old hand to help yourself, or have some actual combat experience, it is not too late to enter the line again.


For refrigerated semi-trailer, the goods are generally more delicate, can not withstand bumps and bruises, once the freight loss rate is high, the freight may be lost in the majority, the owner also expects the freight to make money, so the protection of refrigerated semi-trailer transportation stability is very important. On this level, it is recommended that owners choose the gold collocation of disc axle + air suspension.


Disc axle brake sensitivity is high, braking force is uniform, and not easy to appear thermal attenuation, can improve the stability of the vehicle in the process of driving. If it is a heavy refrigerated semi trailer, it is recommended to use the disc brake with the hydraulic retarder, and the braking performance is more stable. Air suspension does not have to say more, in terms of cushioning ground impact, even if the road condition is not good in transportation, it can greatly reduce the bumpy cargo, reduce cargo damage.

Maybe some owners will say: we all know the disc axle and air suspension is good, but the price is too high to buy ah. In fact, there is no lack of reliable quality and affordable products on the market, but in the intensity of publicity compared to some brands, just by word of mouth. For example, Liangshan DARO trailer axle, one of the first domestic enterprises relying on independent research and development to achieve the mass production of integrated axles, now has 20 years of industry experience, quality comparable to first-line brands, DARO trailer axle is taking the cost-effective route, the same specifications of the axle products can be about 1/3 discount than first-line brands. Many well-known trailer factory, logistics enterprises and transport retail investors have chosen DARO trailer bridge as a fixed partner.


When you buy a product, you buy quality, performance and service, not brand premium. DARO trailer axle can help car owners, at a more affordable price, with higher quality products.
