In the current logistics industry, 4.2m trucks play an indispensable role as an important tool for short-distance transportation. However, for truck drivers and logistics companies, there are often many confusions and challenges when choosing between a blue and yellow card. This article will delve into the way out of a 4.2m truck from multiple perspectives and how to choose the most suitable type of license plate.
1. How to distinguish between blue and yellow trucks? There are significant differences between blue and yellow trucks in terms of dead weight, nuclear load and driving area. Blue trucks are lightweight, generally about 2.8 tons, and the nuclear load is also smaller, usually around 2 tons. The yellow truck has a heavier weight, generally more than 3.5 tons, and the nuclear load is correspondingly larger, which can be between 4-7 tons. In addition, yellow plate trucks are generally unable to enter urban areas due to vehicle size and load restrictions, and can only be driven on the outskirts of cities or suburbs.
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of blue and yellow trucks?
1. Advantages of blue brand trucks: light weight, good fuel economy and low operating costs; It can be driven in urban areas, which is convenient for flexible distribution; The cost of buying a car is relatively low, making it suitable for start-ups or self-employed people.
Disadvantages of blue brand trucks: small nuclear load and limited transportation capacity; Driving in busy urban areas is susceptible to traffic congestion and traffic restriction policies; The competition is fierce and requires a certain degree of market competitiveness.
2. Advantages of yellow card trucks: large nuclear load and strong transportation capacity; The cost of buying a car is relatively high, but it can reduce costs in long-term operation; Driving on the outskirts of cities or suburbs can avoid traffic congestion and traffic restrictions in urban areas.
Disadvantages of yellow card trucks: heavier dead weight and poor fuel economy; Unable to enter the urban area, the delivery area is limited; Higher driving skills and vehicle maintenance costs are required.
3. According to the comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of blue cards and yellow cards, how do we choose the most suitable type of license, and the following factors need to be considered when choosing blue or yellow cards:
1. Transportation demand: Determine the required transportation capacity according to factors such as the weight, volume and transportation distance of the goods. If the transportation demand is small, a blue-plate van may be more suitable; If the demand for transportation is large, yellow plate trucks are more advantageous.
2. Driving area: If you need to make frequent deliveries in the city, blue trucks are a better choice; If transportation is mainly carried out on the outskirts of the city or in the suburbs, yellow plate vans are more suitable.
3. Operating costs: Factors such as car purchase costs, fuel costs, maintenance costs, and labor costs need to be comprehensively considered. Blue plate trucks are lower in terms of purchase cost and fuel cost, but may require more manpower and time for distribution; Although the cost of purchasing and fuel is higher, yellow plate trucks have stronger transportation capacity and can reduce costs in long-term operation.
4. Market competition: You need to consider the market competition in your region. If there are a large number of blue plate trucks in the area and the competition is fierce, you can consider choosing yellow plate trucks to gain a larger market share; On the contrary, if there are a large number of yellow trucks, you can also consider choosing blue trucks to reduce the competitive pressure.
5. Policy environment: It is necessary to pay attention to the local government's policies and restrictions on truck transportation. If the local government has a strict traffic restriction policy for yellow plate trucks, it may affect their distribution scope and operational efficiency; If the local government encourages the use of blue-plate trucks for urban distribution, then blue-plate trucks may be more appropriate.
To sum up, when choosing the license type of 4.2-meter truck, it is necessary to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as its own transportation needs, driving area, operating costs, market competition and policy environment. Only by choosing the most suitable type of license can you be invincible in the fierce logistics market.
