Take stock of the goods that give truck drivers a headache

2023/07/20 09:21

The development of the logistics and transportation industry has brought many conveniences to people's production and life. The types of goods that truck drivers need to transport are also varied, and there are many goods that truck drivers are unwilling to accept orders, even if they run empty. Willing to pull trailer axle.


Some car owners made up a jingle for this: "Watermelon is pressed into the car and the coal falls off the scale, peaches are easy to be bumped, rice is pulled into white noodles, and the clean cargo compartment needs to be padded. It is flammable and explosive and cannot be pulled. The police will be arrested when they find it. 13 meters The trucks do not leave the mine, and the trucks go south from the big boards. Although Hainan has a lot of cargo, the trucks are empty before the season.” From this we can see the pain points and helplessness of truck drivers when choosing cargo.


Today, let's take stock of those goods that car owners have transported once and never want to transport again.

1. Steel coil, steel pipe, steel plate


Steel coils are recognized by the freight industry as one of the goods that "cannot be pulled even if the poor are starved to death". In addition to steel coils, there are also finished steel products such as steel pipes and steel plates. Especially for steel coils and steel pipes, not to mention the risks brought by the exaggerated size and self-weight to the car body and beams, it is not easy to bind them firmly. It is easy to break away from the fixing, rush to the cab or roll onto the road, which brings great danger to the driver and other traffic participants.


If you are not a car owner who specializes in pulling steel trailer axle, or is not a special trailer for transporting steel, it is recommended that car owners should not try this kind of goods lightly. Even professional drivers and vehicles must strictly abide by the regulations on steel transportation, be sure to secure the goods, and not drive too fast, let alone overload and fatigue driving.

2. Floating goods such as foam and sponge


Too heavy is not easy to pull, too light is also a headache, such as our common foam or sponge. Especially foam, although it will not be as heavy and large as steel, due to its extremely light weight, the volume of the floating cargo is astonishingly large, and it can even be described as terrifying.


If the owner of the car is driving on the road with such a volume, I am afraid that he will face countless fines and deduction points; but if the owner loads less, the weight will be reduced, and the shipping fee will be very little. It is not worth transporting if the distance is long a trip.


In contrast, the sponge is a little bit better, because it can be squeezed and will not break, but even so, this type of floating goods has become one of the goods that truck drivers are unwilling to carry.

3. Glass and ceramic products


This kind of goods is fragile and requires special packaging and fixing devices, otherwise, it will be easily broken if it is tight, and it will be easy to slip if it is loose. In addition, this kind of goods has very high requirements on the road conditions for transportation. When encountering bumpy roads or a little friction between the goods, they are likely to be broken into pieces.


If the "no compensation for damage" is negotiated before the shipment trailer axle, it is okay to say, if it is not agreed in advance, the loss of the goods is likely to be compensated by the car owners, and it might be a waste of time.

4. Live livestock


For example, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks. When transporting such goods, car owners must take good care of them. They must not let them get sick or die, otherwise they will lose money. If it is transported in summer, the owner has to take a shower to cool down the animals to avoid heatstroke. In addition, the time limit for transportation is relatively tight, especially the goods transported to the slaughterhouse must be delivered before slaughter. In addition to this, you have to endure the pungent excrement.


Therefore, although the freight for transporting live livestock is relatively high, it cannot blindly follow the trend.

5. Lvtong goods


Lvtong goods refer to fresh and live agricultural and sideline products, and tolls are generally exempted when traveling on high speed.


Logically speaking, toll free is a good thing for truck drivers, but in the actual transportation process, there are many things that cause headaches for car owners: the time limit for transportation is tight, the green pass standard is not uniform, and the car is sold under pressure. There is no subsidy for the goods, and the freight is suppressed and the profit is low... If you encounter a product that looks like a green pass but is not in the green pass list, the owner will not only not be able to enjoy the toll-free discount, but will also have to pay additional fines. Make people feel miserable.

6. Solder ball


Perhaps many truck drivers have not seen this kind of cargo. Welding ball is a kind of iron and steel sphere, which is mainly used in some construction fields. Its diameter and wall thickness can be divided into various specifications from large to small. For example, the weight of a welding ball with a diameter of 80cm and a wall thickness of 3cm About 50kg or so.


Although the individual weight is not high, these welding balls cannot be fixed with meadows, sleepers or steel brackets when transporting in large quantities. At present, there is no special carriage for transporting welding balls in China. The displacement of the center of gravity of the amplitude is likely to cause rolling. If the cargo compartment is not firm enough, the welding balls will easily rush into the compartment and scatter all over the place, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Nowadays, there are too many vehicles and few goods in the transportation market. In order to earn freight, truck drivers can only compete for orders, and even compromise blindly in order to earn money. Although the goal of running transportation is to make money, safety is definitely more important. Car owners must be cautious when choosing goods, take relevant protection measures during transportation, increase vigilance, and seek police assistance in time when encountering problems.
