I have experienced an accident and used the muck truck as a trolley

At 23:00 on December 9, the construction site of the comprehensive upgrading project of Hankou Gongnongbing Road. Filled with a cart of slag, Chen Lianju twisted the key to light the fire, pressed the reddish-brown remote control button, and the roof tarpaulin slowly fell, covering the car full of debris. It was her second trip that night.

Chen Lianju drove the car to the cleaning tank, and the automatic flushing machine "bathed" the body. After the body was cleaned, Chen Lianju jumped down on the pedal and went around the car to check the roof tarpaulin and body conditions, "the car is like a face, it must be refreshing and refreshing on the road." Vehicles drove into the Third Ring Road, and there were more and more muck trucks and gravel trucks. Constantly being overtaken, Chen Lianju is not in a hurry, always controlling the speed within 60 kilometers.

Chen Lianju said, "At night, the line of sight is not good, there are many blind spots, if I encounter an emergency at this speed, the sharp brakes will have to glide for more than 100 meters." "When waiting for red lights at some open intersections, the reporter saw that occasionally there were muck trucks with speed and dust.

"The main causes of muck truck accidents are too fast and running red lights." Chen Lianju said, "Driving an express train can make more money, but this is gambling on life." Chen Lianju was scrubbing the vehicle to ensure its appearance. Photo by reporter Liu Bin

Chen Lianju said that she insisted on not violating the rules because she had experienced an accident.

One early morning in the winter of 2017, Chen Lianju drove a muck truck on the Hanshi Highway. Suddenly, a van in front of it did not hit the turn signal and overtook from the left side of the bag. Chen Lianju subconsciously braked sharply and hit the steering wheel to the right.

The car rushed into the roadside flower bed, broke a tree with a thick bowl, and scattered the windshield and gravel, "I was scared to cry."

Good thing the van was fine. "I was less than 60 kilometers old, otherwise the van would have been destroyed." Chen Lianju said that later the traffic police found out that the van driver was drunk on the road.

"It was her only traffic accident in more than four years since she was in the team." Peng Zailiang, team captain of Hubei Lezhu Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., said that Chen Lianju drove steadily, "She drove the muck truck as a car."

At 0:32 a.m. the next day, the vehicle entered the consumption site near the Xiaogan River. After unloading the muck, Chen Lianju took up the water gun and sprayed it against the muck truck, rinsed it, and then waved the car wash brush, brushing the body and wheels up and down. Although a bright moon hangs in the night sky like a hook, the temperature has dropped to 2 °C. The exhaled air turned into wisps of "white smoke", and Chen Lianju rubbed his red hands and got into the car to return. Before dawn, Chen Lianju had to run back and forth on this road twice.

"Look, not a single point has been deducted"

Next to Chen Lianju's driver's seat, there was a purple water cup and some candy. "My husband prepared it for me." Chen Lianju said that driving is most afraid of drowsiness, "with a sugar, the mouth is always moving, you can always stay awake." Chen Lianju was inspecting the vehicles before going on the road, and there were many candies prepared on the car. Photo by reporter Liu Bin

One back and forth, the reporter found that Chen Lianju had not touched the water cup.

"It's not convenient to get out of the car and go to the toilet." Every time he got out of the car, Chen Lianju tried not to drink water. "If it's really dry, I only drink boiled water, drink tea and sleep badly, it will affect the next day's driving." Chen Lianju said.

Chen Lianju never listens to songs when she drives, "so you can't hear the sound outside the car." ”

Chen Feng, chairman of Hubei Lezhu Construction Engineering Company, said that Chen Lianju has been in the company for 4 years, there has not been a single violation, and the company has issued her a "safety award" every year, "Every time there is a meeting, the traffic management department will take her as an advanced model." ”

Zuo Wenming, president of the Wuhan Construction Muck Sand and Gravel Transportation Industry Association, said that less than 5% of the city's muck truck drivers, like Chen Lianju, have more than four years of driving experience and maintain a record of zero violations. Chen Lianju's compliance with rules and discipline is also driving other drivers, and her company has been awarded the city's "red list" slag transportation enterprise for three consecutive years.

Chen Lianju opened the "Wuhan Traffic Police" WeChat public account in his mobile phone and showed the reporter several years of driver's license points, "Look, not a single point has been deducted!" "Chen Lianju is the only female driver of the company's muck truck, and when the group photo of the company's team building activities is taken, it is a flower in the team."

"Almost shed tears when I saw the mud pile turn into a subway station"

At 19:45 on December 13, at the construction site of the Zhongyi Road subway station, Chen Lianju parked his car on the side of the road and waited in line to load the soil. Wuhan Metro Line 12 is the longest subway ring line in China, and Zhongyi Road Station is the largest station on the line. Team leader Peng Zailiang said that the site will unearth 600,000 cubic meters, according to a car loaded with 12 cubic meters, almost 50,000 vehicles can be transported.

Urban construction is inseparable from muck trucks. Because of the night and night running of the muck truck, the urban development will change with each passing day.

"I sometimes feel proud to think that I'm also contributing to the city." Chen Lianju said there are 16 stations on Metro Line 21, and she and her colleagues are involved in the task of transporting muck at half of them.

When building the Happiness Bay subway station, every time they entered the construction site, they had to wear deep rain boots, mud wrapped around their trouser legs, and a truckload of mud was transported out by them, and a truckload of slag was dragged back by them to backfill.

On December 26, 2017, Metro Line 21 was opened. In the first month of operation, subway builders can ride for free. In this regard, Chen Lianju was quite proud, "I didn't go that day because it was free, but I wanted to see the construction site where I had worked." ”

Through the windows of the speeding train, seeing the beautiful stations, Chen Lianju was excited, "Seeing the mud pile turned into a subway station, I almost shed tears." ”

Chen Lianju said that every time she brought her 5-year-old daughter to Hankou to take the subway, she would also tell her daughter the story of her transporting muck. During the flood season of 2020, the Fuhe River was over-alert, and the embankment of the Xiaohe Bridge on the Third Ring Road was in an emergency, and Chen Lianju took the initiative to ask the company to fight, transport flood prevention sand and gravel, and participate in flood prevention and rescue. A city has two faces, day and night. At any time, the normal operation of the city is inseparable from the division of labor and hard work of thousands of workers.

"My daily life is more monotonous and not exciting." Chen Lianju said that sometimes when she rests, she will also go to the street to walk around. Chen Lianju said that not long ago, she passed by the MixC project site at the mouth of Taipei Road and Jianshe Avenue, and sighed, "In two years, the changes are really great!" ”

Two years ago, she transported muck here, more than 200 nights before and after, and now the building is topped out.

"The city is vivid because of people, especially by its builders." Zuo Wenming, president of the Wuhan Construction Slag Sand and Gravel Transportation Industry Association, said that muck transportation practitioners are also heroes of urban construction.

Drove vans, taxis, and the owner of the muck truck himself was the driver

Chen Lianju is from rural Xinzhou, his family was poor when he was a child, and after graduating from junior high school, he began to work part-time, and also drove vans and taxis. Chen Lianju said that in May 2017, her brother, who was driving an excavator at the construction site of Metro Line 21, found her, "The company needs vehicles to transport muck, is willing to do it." After consulting with her husband, Chen Lianju decided to take out a loan to buy a muck truck, gritted her teeth and paid a down payment of 100,000 yuan saved by her family, and repaid more than 10,000 yuan in loans every month.

Chen Lianju said that because of her small child, she did not think about driving her own car at first, hired a master, and later found that "the fuel consumption is too high, and she can't make much money." Find the vehicle service station, the staff gave advice, "The car is no problem, you change the master." In order to pay off the loan as soon as possible, Chen Lianju consulted with her husband and brought her daughter, who was a few months old, to her mother-in-law and personally went to school.

Every night at 8 p.m. to get out of the car, the next day at 5 a.m. to finish work, Chen Lianju began to work day after day.

"Doing our business, except for rainy days and embargoes, is basically all year round." Chen Lianju said that in order to facilitate her work, she rented a room of less than 10 square meters in the urban village near the company and slept after work. Sleep until 3 p.m. and start your day at work. Chen Lianju carefully checked the tires and other preparations before getting on the bus. Photo by reporter Liu Bin

"I haven't been home for almost two weeks." Chen Lianju said that the eldest son is 17 years old and is in high school. She can't rest assured that her 5-year-old daughter has been sleeping with her this year, which may be less than 1 month." ”

Chen Lianju said that her husband works as a painter in Xinzhou and is closer to home to take care of his children, "if you want to provide superior conditions for your children, you have to pay more."

Chen Lianju's husband, Sun Xiaohua, said, "Lianju is not easy, when she is driving, my children and I will not call or send her messages, so as not to distract her." What makes Chen Lianju feel relieved is that the two children are still good, the son's grades are stable in the top 10 of the class, and the daughter is often praised by the kindergarten teacher for being smart.
