Semi trailer run transport choice short or long distance?

Semi-trailer transport is currently a more widely used mode of transport in the domestic logistics industry, which can be divided into long distance and short distance, so which of these two forms of transport is better? Or which makes more money? Let's talk about that today.

How do you distinguish between long haul and short haul?

According to the travel time division, less than 4 hours is called short-haul transportation, in 10 hours or more is called long-distance transportation.

According to the mileage division, transport distance of 25 km or less is called short-haul transport, transport distance of 25 km or more is called long-distance transport.

The characteristics of short distance transportation:

1. Short mileage:

In general, short distance transportation in large cities is no more than 300 kilometers round trip, and in smaller cities it is even shorter.

2. High prescription requirements:

Due to the short transportation distance, the customer's transportation expectation will be relatively high. Generally, the transportation time requirement is strict, such as the requirement of time error within 0.5 hour.

3. High proportion of urban sections:

For short distance transportation, there are more roads in downtown areas. Due to the existence of many intersections and the increase of the total number of vehicles in urban areas, the average speed is generally about 40.

4. Transportation tasks can be completed on the same day:

Short distance transportation business can be completed on the same day, but there are usually abnormal circumstances when it is completed across days.

Characteristics of long-distance transportation:

Compared with short distance transportation, the characteristics of long distance transportation are generally rapid, simple, direct, long transportation distance, long turnaround time, driving line is fixed.

Generally speaking, short distance transportation is short and close to home, so you can go home every day. Basically, you can work and care for your family. But also because of the short distance, here loading, cover the tarpaulin, run for a few hours to remove, unload, and then loading, then cover the tarpaulin, the work is more complicated. In addition, due to the high requirement of time limitation and the rush of time, I ran two or three times a day and got home late.

In contrast, long-distance transportation, although ten and a half days can not be home, but in the tedious is better than short distance, loaded with a car of goods, can run for a few days, the time is relatively loose. But a few days down to eat and live in the car, tired or unavoidable, in addition to need to do a good job of rest and rest planning, to avoid fatigue driving.

As for which mode of transportation makes more money, it is a case by case analysis.

In the past, it was generally a long distance transport freight is higher, transport a trip may top short distance transport dry for several days. Now the transportation industry is gradually standardized, this was originally a good thing, but the implementation of the standards of the new regulations in various regions of the country is not unified, if it is a special line of transportation is better, after all, is a fixed line, but if the unfamiliar area, if the owner can not figure out the transportation standards in advance, it is easy to violate the rules, once the violation, Fines, points deduction, demotion or freight compensation situation is difficult to avoid, extra expenses, income naturally less.

Look at short distance transportation, familiar with the relevant provisions of transport lines, can better avoid the occurrence of violations. In addition, its flexibility is stronger. If this line does not find the right source of goods, you can look at other lines at any time to see if there is any supply, and even compare the freight, which is higher than that, the selectivity is stronger.

In addition to the general background of the transportation industry is not very prosperous, the cost of car maintenance is high, but the freight continues to be depressed, in this case, the main factor affecting how much money is sufficient and stable supply. In the owner's words: as long as the supply of goods is sufficient, the supply of goods is fixed, not aimless guerrilla, no matter long distance or short distance can earn money.

There are two ways to increase revenue: cut costs or increase shipping costs, as far as regulations allow. How do you do that? Take, for example, the DARO lightweight trailer axle. First, the weight is about 15% less than the traditional trailer axle, which means that there is 15% more transportation space under the regulations; Second, maintenance cycle, 2 years / 500,000 kilometers free maintenance, reducing the cost of comprehensive vehicles; Third, the application of one-piece shaft technology, instead of the traditional three-piece welded shaft body, heavy load performance is stronger, more durable and resistant.
