You can only eat steamed buns for a meal, and you don't dare to be extravagant!
Go home short, run a long distance and lose everything.
This oil price, this market! Freight can't be done, sell cars at low prices!
Oil prices have skyrocketed, freight is not rising, and this is the most talked about topic among truck drivers recently. On March 18, the price of No. 0 diesel officially broke through the 8 yuan mark, and in some areas it was even as high as 8.5 yuan / liter. In the face of sluggish market conditions and high oil prices, truck drivers finally could not sit still and launched an initiative to increase truck freight rates.
The above picture is an appeal letter initiated by the Yexian Truck Association in Henan Province, from the content we can clearly see that under the multiple factors of high oil prices, epidemic flooding and low freight rates, the income of truck drivers has reached a low point of nearly 10 years. There are 36 million employees in China, which is related to the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of 1.4 billion people.
In the appeal, it is also hoped that various industries can increase truck freight rates by 15% to ensure the basic livelihood of truck drivers. Indeed, in such an environment, truck drivers have a large monthly car loan to pay off on time in addition to the expenses of maintaining their families. Now that earnings have fallen sharply, it's no wonder truck drivers are calling out that they only dare to eat steamed buns.
The rise in fuel costs has directly led to a reduction in the vast number of available benefits. Let's simply calculate an account, now the regular channel of No. 0 diesel 8.2 yuan / liter, six-axle car high-speed fee of about 2 yuan / km, fuel consumption according to 30L / 100 km calculation, the minimum cost per kilometer is close to 4.6 yuan, not counting labor costs and vehicle wear.
From the current price of the freight platform, most of the freight rates are between 4.5-5 yuan / km, if the whole high-speed then the profit of the card friends to hand is almost less than 5 cents / km, so we began to choose cheaper oil and take the national highway to save more high-speed fees.
Some card friends said that as far as the current freight rate is concerned, if you do not add cheap oil and do not take the national road, it is basically a situation of white help, good luck can earn a living expense, and bad luck losses are also normal. This phenomenon has also led to some truck drivers who used to run long distances and began to return home shorter, in their words, "anyway, the profit margin is so low, it is better to go home and shorten, at least to accompany the wife and children." ”
Eating steamed buns and going back short is not the most uncomfortable ending, the most sad thing is that some card friends began to sell their cars in the group, which also shows that the current transportation environment has forced many people to sell cars.
The price of No. 0 diesel oil has risen from 6 yuan / liter in 2021 to 8.5 yuan / liter now, the increase rate has exceeded 40%, and it costs at least 1,000 yuan more to fill the oil than before, and the call for a 15% increase in freight is actually unable to make up for the loss caused by the rise in oil prices, but at least to ensure that the truck driver does not lose money on each trip and can continue to survive.
For the call for a 15% increase in freight rates, what do the majority of card friends think?
