The epidemic has been 3 years, and the Internet is full of help information from all over the country: it is difficult to buy vegetables, it is difficult to see a doctor, and it is difficult to find a job.
But there is such a group of people, trapped on the highway, forgotten outside of life, they are truck drivers.
A piece of news that brought the truck driver group into the public eye:
Due to the control of the epidemic situation, a truck driver could not get off the highway and stayed in the service area of the Songyuan Wangfu in Jilin Province, suspected of not eating for more than 20 days, suddenly fell ill, and died after ineffective rescue.
A life does not die because of the new crown, but also dies because of the new crown.
Many people directly interpret this news as "the driver has not eaten and starved to death for more than 20 days", which is actually biased.
According to witnesses, the drivers were trapped in the service area for less than 20 days, and the accident highway section was closed for only a few days.
Hotels in the service area are not allowed to operate, other areas are open normally, hot water is provided 24 hours a day, and daily necessities such as instant noodles can be bought at the commissary.
The starvation of the rhetoric is indeed exaggerated, but the poor living environment does aggravate the health hazards of the drivers.
Trapped in the van all day long, eating unnourished instant noodles, the pet dog brought with the car, also suffers from people.
Some truck drivers were trapped, relying on 5 yuan of steamed buns, and spent four days and five nights of "high-speed journey" career.
There are also truck drivers who crouch on the side of the road late at night to eat, even if they arrive at the door, they cannot go home, for fear of affecting their children's schooling.

China has 30 million truck drivers, and they are responsible for 78% of the country's freight traffic.
Since the epidemic, many truck drivers have faced a difficult situation of taking a single job and worrying about the next order.
Taking the Yangtze River Delta region as an example, it is the most economically active region in China and the most active in logistics.
Due to the epidemic, many cities have increased their control over the circulation of trucks, and the impact on logistics has been increasing.
A relevant person in charge of Shanghai said that on the freight platform he was responsible for, 40% of the cargo flow sent from Shanghai in March was affected, many drivers delivered the goods and could not return, and logistics became one-way operations.
Truck drivers who want to deliver goods on the road need to provide information such as nucleic acid test reports and itinerary codes, obtain freight codes to start shipping goods, and do nucleic acid tests once a day.
Most truck drivers are borrowing money to buy cars, resulting in most of them being both car owners and debt workers.
Once special circumstances, such as the epidemic, lead to traffic and supply restrictions, drivers can not get out of the car, the pressure to repay the loan increases sharply, some drivers even have to repay tens of thousands of yuan of loans every month.
When some people attack these logistics drivers on the Internet, they may wish to understand that they are just living.

These people seem to be far away from us, but they are actually active in short video platforms large and small, swimming naked in the plight of the epidemic.

Some people for life, some people for dreams, truck after truck running on the road, towards the hope in their hearts.
