The freight rate reaches 33 yuan/km, behind the high freight rate is high risk

Posted by bruce zhu on April 18th, 2022

The impact of the transparency of freight rates on the freight market is obvious, and various card friends are complaining one after another, and their income is already worse than that of Wang Erxiao during the Chinese New Year. However, recently, the freight rate has ushered in a slight rebound. This change is more obvious, especially for the transportation of materials to the epidemic area.

At present, the logistics and distribution market is affected by the epidemic. In some places, there are goods and no howo trucks. The goods are piled up in the warehouse and cannot be distributed. Therefore, high freight rates are used to attract cardholders to take orders. In some places, although there are sufficient vehicles and goods, However, affected by the general market environment, the freight in these places also fluctuates in different degrees.

Affected by the epidemic, whether the freight rate has risen or not, I am afraid that only the card friends who are in the front line of transportation have the most say. The 15-meter refrigerated truck from Jinan to Shanghai costs about 30,000 yuan per side. For regional delivery, the freight basically increases by 2-3 times, and it is often difficult to find a car.

However, what these high shipping costs bring to card friends is not a surprise, but a shock, because now big data will asterisk the itinerary codes owned by those who have a history of living in medium and high risks. The code with an asterisk is very easy to be required to be quarantined, which means that if you take this order, it may mean that you will not be able to travel for transportation in the next few weeks, and there will be no source of income.

When required to isolate, although card friends have no source of income, the vehicle parking fee, transfer fee, insurance and other fixed expenses incurred during this period will not be reduced. Most card friends said that it is obviously not cost-effective to waste a lot of time in isolation in order to earn a high freight rate.

The \"scare\" that high freight rates bring to card friends is far more than this reason. In some areas, truck drivers have problems going to the toilet, washing up, and eating. Moreover, the change of itinerary code and the validity period of the negative nucleic acid certificate must also be considered. Therefore, unless there are some special reasons, not many card friends like to take great risks to deliver goods to medium and high risk areas.

At present, there are several reasons for the sharp rise in freight rates. First, the epidemic control and other factors have increased the transportation cost of card friends. Some card friends want to take such high-priced transportation orders, but they are worried that they will put an asterisk on their itinerary code. If they pass through the epidemic area, they will choose to detour, but this will increase the logistics of card friends. Transportation costs, including the resulting fuel costs and highway tolls, etc.

Not only that, if the destination requires non-local drivers not to enter the turnover yard, then the card friends need to pay for additional driving services and towing services, which directly increases the transportation expenses of the card friends, so the freight rate is relatively high. It is natural to give higher.

Secondly, it is also related to the number of card friends currently engaged in the transportation industry. According to the requirements of the epidemic prevention and control area, those who leave the city must hold a nucleic acid certificate for at least 48 hours, and the itinerary code will be marked with an asterisk, but if the itinerary code is marked with an asterisk, they will face the risk of being isolated in other areas. Therefore, there is no How many card friends are willing to go to the epidemic area for transportation.

The demand for living materials in the epidemic area is large, and the shipment volume of cargo owners will be more, but there are fewer vehicles willing to go to the epidemic area, so the relationship between supply and demand has changed, and it is logical that the freight rate will rise.

Not only long-distance transportation vehicles, but even short-distance urban distribution transportation, the freight rates have undergone earth-shaking changes, especially for areas where control measures are taken, urban distribution capacity is also very short. From these aspects, Affected by the epidemic prevention and control, especially for transportation in medium and high-risk areas, rising freight rates is an inevitable trend.

Some card friends mentioned that the increase in freight rates is actually only a superficial phenomenon. As long as the itinerary code has stars, then it needs to be quarantined for about 14 days at its own expense. If the cost of one trip is evenly distributed to the quarantine time, then one trip Apparently, he didn\'t earn much money, and he even put money into it.

Some card friends also mentioned that under such a severe situation of the epidemic, there are still drivers running on the front line of transportation. There are too many difficulties in itself, and they also take great risks. The high freight rate is what these card friends deserve. s return.

At the same time, in the face of the impact of the epidemic, the freight rate continues to rise, and some card friends hope that the society can pay more attention to the group of truck drivers, so that they can have less prejudice against truck drivers and jointly maintain the healthy development of the logistics industry.

Behind the skyrocketing freight rates is not only a change in the relationship between supply and demand, but also an affirmation for card friends who take risks to run transportation, but evenly spread, the freight rate is not much higher. When faced with the pressure of tens of thousands of yuan per month in car loans, would you choose the order that needs to go to the epidemic area with obviously high freight rates, or the order from ordinary areas with little difference in freight rates, card friends You can leave a message in the comment area.
