If you can't go down to the highway, a car of saplings can't unload the goods, and Zhang Jiancheng in Shandong has no choice but to ask the cargo owner to find a local car to pick up the goods; The destination Shanghai suddenly broke out of the epidemic, Chen Zhen of Henan survived for 7 days at the high-speed mouth with two bags of bread, and was hit by a hot search because he received a box lunch on the high-speed in Hangzhou; Master Ding and 7 colleagues from Zhejiang were stranded across the road from a gas station in Shanghai, and everyone buried the pot on the spot, fortunately, they soon waited for masks, vegetables and other materials sent by enthusiastic people.
The above three are the epitome of the survival status of truck drivers under the epidemic. A number of truck drivers interviewed told Elephant News that there are many changes in running freight under the epidemic, and health codes, itinerary codes, and nucleic acid tests in different periods have long become as important as driver's licenses and driving permits; The lack of local policies has led to the lack of high-speed access, as well as the sudden outbreak of the epidemic at the destination, and the difficulty of ensuring food and accommodation, which has put them in trouble.
The current situation of drivers "on the road" has attracted widespread attention. According to the "Notice of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council in Response to the Novel Coronavirus Infection Pneumonia Epidemic on Effectively Ensuring the Smooth Flow of Freight Logistics" issued on April 11, it is necessary to provide basic life services such as catering and toilets for truck drivers and crew members stranded in closed areas, epidemic prevention checkpoints, highway service areas and other places due to the epidemic, so as to ensure the timely and effective implementation of various service measures. On April 7, the Ministry of Transport held a meeting on the logistics support coordination work mechanism and pointed out that it is necessary to formulate traffic control measures in accordance with laws and regulations, and must not increase the number of layers and one size fits all to ensure the unification of traffic control policies.
The following is what the Elephant News reporter compiled based on the dictations of the interviewed drivers:
Stranded at the gas station "hugging" and waiting
Master Ding of Hangzhou, Zhejiang
Currently in Shanghai
On April 14, I was stranded for more than a decade by seven strange truck drivers across the road from a gas station in Shanghai's Fengxian district. In these days, everyone from not knowing each other to cooking with partners to asking for help netizens, some enthusiastic people have sent us masks, food and drinking water, and the next day there will be mobile nucleic acid testing trucks to do nucleic acid for us.
Ten days ago, I pulled a cart of shoe covers from Hangzhou to Shanghai, and the goods were unloaded smoothly, just in time for the epidemic in Shanghai, and I couldn't go. By chance, I came to a gas station on Xin siping Highway in Situan Town, Fengxian District, and temporarily settled down on the opposite road. In addition to me, there are 7 colleagues from all over the country, and everyone has encountered the same, and they have been huddled together for warmth during these days.
Suddenly stranded in Shanghai, my biggest concern was food. On the first day, I took stock of the food I had brought with me in my car, and there was only a little instant noodle and bread, which could not last for a few days. Several other drivers are similar to this situation. Originally, I thought that I would unseal it for three or five days, but I did not expect to postpone it repeatedly. To save money, several of us decided to cook our own meals, and the cost of the needs was evenly shared. Everyone came out of the countryside, strong hands-on ability, we went to the supermarket to buy a large iron pot, built a clay stove on the spot, used the green belt, dead branches dropped on the road as firewood, each took out some noodles and spices from the car, and began to live together. We generally do not do breakfast, lunch steamed rice stir-fried vegetables, such as egg fried leeks, lettuce scrambled eggs, sometimes can also eat a cabbage stew, dinner next noodles, cook a soup, the problem of eating is solved.
Worried that this will not last long, I tried to send out a request for help on the Internet, talking about the current situation of several of us, I did not expect that soon there would be enthusiastic anti-epidemic personnel and volunteers to get in touch with us, send masks, alcohol, and various grains, oils, vegetables and fruits, and there is no shortage of living materials at present. During this period, we also received supplies distributed by the relevant departments of the local government.
Many people ask me how to solve the problem of water use, thanks to the gas station, usually domestic water and drinking water, the gas station will be free to us. The problem of going to the toilet is also solved at the gas station. As for living, the truck driver takes the car home, which is not worrying.
Usually it's okay, a few of us will brush the mobile phone or play cards, chat, to pass the time. You ask me if I'm in a hurry? Of course, I am anxious, and I would like to unseal it as soon as possible to go out and work. My relatives in my hometown would call me every day and ask how the situation was here, and I said don't worry, I always have the help of enthusiastic people.
Every other day, a mobile nucleic acid test truck will come over and do nucleic acid for us. The weather in Shanghai these days is OK, and everyone has not had cold symptoms.
I have not been doing this line for a long time, I feel that the epidemic has led to more trucks, less work, and the cost is quite high, although it is difficult to run transportation under the epidemic, but now which industry is not easy to do, I will not consider changing careers. If there is any appeal, I hope that everyone can be more tolerant of truck drivers in the future, and now where to pull goods will face the problem of high-speed difficulties on and off, queuing for inspection, this is also understood and will cooperate, that is, I hope that there can be a unified standard everywhere, not a place a situation, drivers are very big. For example, many places only look at the itinerary cassette star, do not look at the nucleic acid test results, unloading can not be shipped, it is quite troublesome. Sometimes when there is a sudden outbreak at the destination, you can only wait in place.
At present, what we are most concerned about is that we expect the epidemic situation in Shanghai to be stable, and we can smoothly apply for a pass and continue to run a sports car. We also have to support our families.
Take the box lunch tears up behind the scenes of the hot search
Henan Shangqiu Chen Zhen
It is currently quarantined in Hangzhou
Yes, I am the party who got two box lunches at the Hangzhou Expressway , the hot search topic , and the news reports my real experience, not exaggerated.
Here's what happened, probably on March 29, when I pulled goods from Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, to Shanghai, where Pudong was sealed. I thought about my itinerary code with an asterisk, no matter where I went, my hometown would definitely not be able to go back, just stop closer to the highway intersection.
After settling down, I went to the supermarket and found that the supplies were almost empty, leaving only some bread, rice bread and drinks, and finally only two packs of bread and some water. What I learned at that time was that the seal might be lifted in a few days, and at first I thought that it would soon pass, but what I did not expect was that the epidemic situation in Shanghai was getting more and more serious, and the prevention and control measures were becoming more and more stringent. I found that things were not as simple as I thought, so I didn't even dare to get out of the car, except for going to the toilet at night, and staying in the car during the day. After seven or eight days, the two bags of bread were quickly eaten, although reducing the amount of exercise in the car could save physical strength, but I could not bear to be hungry, and my stomach was always grunting.
Because of the sealing, I can't see vehicles and people in my place, and I can't ask for help. Opening your phone to view the takeaway is all information about the closure of the storefront. Later, there was really no way, just at the highway intersection to put the car, I took this opportunity out of Shanghai. After getting on the highway, I originally wanted to find a service area to adjust it, but the service area was closed, so I continued to walk on the highway, so I arrived in Hangzhou.
After arriving in Hangzhou, the situation is as reported on the Internet. When I was inspected at the epidemic prevention checkpoint of the Hangzhou Mid-Levels Passage, I told my own situation, and the local staff immediately gave me their own box lunch, and the staff sent me some banana oranges and eight treasure porridge. I felt really touched at that time, there was a feeling of the rest of my life, you think about a person who was out for seven or eight days, suddenly someone was so good to you, really can't control the emotions, met these enthusiastic people make me feel very lucky.
Because I have a history of living in medium- and high-risk areas, the health code is yellow, so I went to Hangzhou to do nucleic acid and was sent to a centralized isolation point for isolation. I am still in quarantine, and after a few days of rest, the whole person has recovered. Now I plan to wait until the end of the quarantine to be able to pick up the work as soon as possible, after all, the family still has a wife and children to support, and a car loan to repay.
I have been running long-distance transportation for more than a year, I have done breakfast before, and I have also worked as a driving school coach, and the main route is from my hometown of Henan Shangqiu to Shanghai and Hangzhou. It cost about 230,000 yuan to buy this car, paid a down payment of 70,000 yuan, and now has to repay more than 6,000 yuan in loans every month. Running transportation under the epidemic, my overall feeling is particularly difficult, the difficulty of eating and living on the road is not mentioned, I am worried that the epidemic prevention policies in various places are different, or I encounter sudden epidemics and other situations in the destination, and I hope that there will be improvements in the future.
Can't go down the highway
Shandong Heze Zhang Jiancheng
Currently in Anhui
I am 44 years old, A truck driver for 8 years, I used to be my lover following the car, now I am replaced by my nephew, and the two people take turns on the road.
It is indeed more difficult to carry out transportation under the epidemic.
On March 24, I pulled 40 tons of saplings from Heze, Shandong Province, to Jinzhong, Shaanxi Province. What the owner of the cargo said is that if it meets the conditions, it can get off the highway. When I got to the place, the other party looked at my itinerary code, did not let it go, I did not understand, Heze was not included in the high-risk area, my nucleic acid is negative, why not let it down? But it is good to say that it is not to let go, helplessly I turned around and went back, and then found the high-speed entrance or this reason not to let go, in the high-speed circle a few laps and finally did not go down. Later, until the next day, there was really no way, and the owner of the cargo found another car to pick up the goods.
About April 5th, I pulled a car of old tires from Yulin, Shaanxi to Luliang, Shanxi, and when I got off the highway, I still couldn't get off the highway because of the itinerary code. Later, I turned around and went back, and found a high-speed opening again, this time allowing me to make a nucleic acid again. It's okay to delay back and forth for a few hours, and I wonder why two policies in one place?
After that, I pulled a truck of goods to Xingtai, Hebei, because I was too tired, I stayed in the Handan service area for a long time, the itinerary code took Handan, and after arriving in Xingtai, because of the problem of the itinerary code, I did not go to the highway, I had no choice but to pay for a local driver and send the goods to the cargo owner.
Another time, I once went to Luliang, Shanxi, waited for three hours to get off the highway, the local let me turn around, the itinerary code, health code are normal and do not let go.
Of course, there are also smooth ones. Some time ago, I went from Yichang, Hubei to Jingzhou, and I only needed to be negative for 48 hours on the highway, and I didn't look at the itinerary card. Then from Jingzhou to Anhui Chizhou is also relatively smooth, re-do the nucleic acid can be done.
Running on the road under the epidemic situation, doing nucleic acid has become a common thing, and what I am worried about is that local policies are different, and some places cannot rely on nucleic acid negative. Sometimes local policies can change at any time due to the epidemic, and not understanding them in advance will delay time. A while ago I pulled a cart of cucumbers from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia to Zhengzhou Zhongmu, the first time I got off the highway and didn't know what the requirements were, I entered the Zhongmu Vegetable Market, a scan code became a yellow code, and later I learned that I could turn into a green code by doing nucleic acid twice.

In order to save money and for safety under the epidemic, my nephew and I generally do not eat in the restaurant or service area, generally find a place to do it ourselves, with cooking equipment on the car, and four buckets. The two of us stayed in the cab. Safety is not worried, I am worried about the fuel tank was stolen, once the gas tank was full when I set off, I did not pay too much attention when I rested on the side of the road at night, and the next day I found that the oil was stolen, and I had to run three times to make up for the loss.
Now it is not easy to dry freight, the risk is relatively large, I myself have not encountered the situation of being trapped on the highway or on the road for a few days, but I often brush the video to see reports of enthusiastic people sending food to the trapped drivers, some touching and some sad. I'm still afraid that I can't unload the goods at high speed, which is very troublesome, but I can't turn around and pull back, right? I hope the guys in the sports car are all smooth and safe.
