Overload of freight can bring huge profits

Introduction: ten years ago, Mr Li, who once worked as the market development director of Guangzhou Yilai logistics company under Hong Kong Netflix logistics group, no longer worked in good time Y5V Ten years ago, he began to work in transportation logistics in Guangdong He said that in 1993, inspired by Deng Xiaoping's South tour, a large number of state-owned, township and private enterprises in the Pearl River delta developed vigorously, and a large number of products were sent to other provinces The social transport capacity was in short supply The original state-owned transport companies in Guangdong Province could not compete with the private transport operators in other provinces Therefore, from then on until now, the road freight business in other provinces has become more and more popular Private transport operators in other provinces occupy the market, and the actual drivers are private owners and drivers in other provinces According to his recollection, at that time, the transportation in other provinces was very profitable The one-way transportation price sent to Shanghai 10 years ago was 2000 yuan per ton, that is, a 5-ton car could get 10000 yuan Y5V but a profitable industry is bound to attract a lot of follow-up investment With the development of transportation, the supply exceeds the demand, and the transportation competition becomes fierce Since 1997, there has been a vehicle overload caused by low price vicious competition (illegal overweight, super high, super long) Li told reporters that over the past few years, the transportation price has been reduced to such a level: now, if it's the off-season for transportation, the price has been reduced from 2000 yuan per ton 10 years ago to only 400 yuan or even 350 yuan per ton now That is to say, the transportation revenue of a 5-ton vehicle has been reduced from the above 10000 yuan 10 years ago to only 2000 yuan now In an interview with reporters, he Hongming, general manager of Y5V Feima international logistics company, pointed out that overload is the inevitable result of the shipper manufacturers' unilateral pursuit of ultra-low freight rates when they contract out transportation He Hongming, Y5V, has been a senior leader in famous domestic and foreign logistics enterprises for many years and has a good understanding of Guangdong logistics industry Over the years, he has contacted many types of enterprises in the Pearl River Delta He divides these enterprises into two parts: endogenous enterprises and exogenous enterprises Exogenous enterprises are mainly concentrated in Dongguan and Shenzhen, usually high-tech enterprises and foreign-funded export-oriented enterprises Exogenous enterprises generally have a strong sense of modern logistics In addition, many other enterprises are basically endogenous enterprises, that is, they are mainly dependent on the domestic market from raw materials to finished products These traditional endogenous enterprises are mainly distributed in the Pearl River Delta region with Guangzhou as the center Internal enterprises usually lack the concept of modern logistics When choosing a transportation logistics company, the managers of the logistics department in charge of freight transport always follow the principle of "only low price", rather than investigating whether the transportation logistics company has the necessary knowledge, experience and ability of modern logistics "These managers also have their difficulties, because enterprises assess their logistics performance to see if the transportation price this year can be lower than that of previous years, and ask them to control the transportation cost to reduce it, so as to create corresponding profit space for enterprises," he said Y5v Director Li of Yilai logistics calculated an account with the reporter There is a factory that produces curtain wall glass in the Pearl River Delta Every day, there are 10 vehicles of glass that need to be transported to other provinces If the glass factory can reduce 40 yuan per ton of goods, then 200 yuan will be reduced for a 5-ton vehicle (400 yuan for overload) Then the glass factory will have 2000 yuan (4000 yuan for overload) on 10 vehicles a day Six months is 60000 yuan (overload is 120000 yuan), so you can have 720000 yuan of profits on the book (overload is 1420000 yuan of profits) Therefore, driven by such price reduction benefits, transportation prices have become so low Xu Guifeng, manager of Guangzhou Tianmin (logistics) Investment Consulting Co., Ltd., who has been engaged in the logistics talent training industry for many years, usually knows the real situation of many transportation logistics from the trainees from the manufacturing plant According to his report, the repeated lowering of prices by the shippers' manufacturers year by year has resulted in the decline of transportation prices year by year, resulting in the poor operation of the transportation industry, or even the loss operation at all Therefore, most of the transportation enterprises are in fact very difficult The road transportation market in Guangzhou is a chaotic situation of disordered competition He Hongming said that since the transportation competition is for the low price, it will inevitably lead the transportation company to ask the individual owners at the bottom of its downstream to reduce the price in order to make themselves still have small profits when accepting the unreasonable low price of the cargo owners In order to obtain transportation business, even if the price is too low to be profitable, or even at a loss, the downstream owners should promise to come down first, and then go back to find a way It can be said that there are hundreds of strange ways, for example, to take a path to avoid toll stations to escape fees, and there is a better way, which is overloading Y5V because the road fee paid by the freight car marked with small tonnage is less than that of the freight car marked with large tonnage, the driver refits the freight car illegally to increase the actual load capacity of the vehicle According to Ms Hu, a logistics company in shatai Road, Guangzhou, who didn't want to disclose the company's name, even automobile manufacturers joined in the illegal ranks of offering more "perfect services" on their own initiative They pre marked the actual large tonnage new cars as small tonnage trucks for sale, in order to meet the fake needs of owners who pay less road fees In this way, on the one hand, the driver will pay less road fees, and on the other hand, he will load several tons or dozens of tons more than others, so that a little more freight will make up for the loss Y5V as mentioned above, 5 tons of freight to Shanghai used to be 10000 yuan, but now it is reduced to only 2000 yuan, so the driver will definitely lose a lot of money Therefore, the driver must overload 5 tons of vehicles, for example, 10 tons more to become 15 tons of vehicles In this way, a total of 6000 yuan of transportation costs will be obtained in order to maintain the operation cost Y5V becomes more and more fierce with the ultra-low price competition, which will inevitably lead to overload competition Ms Hu, a logistics company in shatai Road, said that usually if it is an 8-ton car, it will become a 15 ton or 25 ton car for transportation; some of the original 40 ton cars will reach 120 tons after being overloaded Whoever overloads more is the winner, and he has food to eat The Y5V layer by layer contract chain has suffered from setbacks Since the overload competition has become an open secret in the industry, and since the malignant overload has reached 120 tons, which has exceeded several times the bearing capacity of the road surface and bridge, it is inevitable to crush the road surface Ma Renhong, director of Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Commission, said that those 40 ton vehicles with more wheels (more than 40 wheels) have become 121 ton vehicles If they run on the road once, the life of the road will be reduced by one year In this regard, the government departments must go on the road for renovation, and many vehicles cannot be overloaded after renovation Since it is impossible to overload, individual drivers will lose money So they put forward to the transportation contract company the price adjustment request of freight rate rising, but where does the latter have the profit space to meet the request? But drivers don't drive without price adjustment Even if the driver was caught on the road and fined, and offered to adjust the price without permission, the driver had to take the goods out to his hometown halfway He went to the local court of his hometown and sued the transportation company and the factory owner to force him to overload, resulting in tire blowout, engine damage, economic loss and so on He used the acquaintance relationship of the local court to win the case for himself Get compensation Anyway, the driver won't lose money in transportation In the face of this situation, the transportation company has no choice but to go to the factory owner on the upper floor to raise the floating price Y5V but the price adjustment will obviously make the products of the factory's consignor in the established market competition pattern disorderly and lose, and damage his economic interests How can he agree to modify the contract and raise the price? Therefore, the upper, middle and lower three parties in the logistics industry chain contract have to be stuck there and grind around, arguing and arguing If some logistics companies have completed the settlement of freight payment, the situation will be easier, and the logistics companies will no longer execute the contract; if the freight payment has not been settled or collected, the logistics companies will be more passive Y5V if the logistics company is really standing still, then the factory owner should also seriously consider it Because raw materials can't come in and finished products can't go out, the factory itself will suffer losses, and if another logistics company is found, it will have to start a new business Even if we find another logistics company, because the actual cost market is like this, no one can take over the transportation at a loss, so it may not be feasible to start a new business Therefore, the factory owner has to follow the guidance of the logistics company to understand the facts, investigate the market, and believe that it is true In desperation, he has to accept the price adjustment of the transportation contractor So after a grinding bubble tossing, everything temporarily returned to calm Y5v According to the analysis of the reporter, if the overload in Guangdong Province causes the freight rate to rise, it will inevitably lead to the increase of the cost of products sent to the market of other provinces, and the price competitiveness of products in the market of other provinces will decline, which will inevitably affect a large number of enterprises in Guangdong Province to step into the dilemma (that is, if the other provinces do not carry out the simultaneous renovation, the cost of products will not be increased correspondingly, and the price of local products will be increased accordingly Relatively competitive) In the same way, Y5V, in turn, a large number of enterprises in other provinces will be involved in the plight of other provinces Y5V but in fact, the improvement of each province may not be synchronous, or the intensity may be uneven, so the economy of all provinces in the country will suffer from unexpected ups and downs The rise and fall of enterprises will inevitably cause losses to the overall economy of the country and waste a lot of productive resources (usually the interdependence between the consumption market and the raw material market between provinces may not be equal and balanced) Y5V therefore, the chaos of transportation market is not only limited to the field of logistics, but also a toss for the whole national economy After the price of Y5V goes up, it will go down, said Miss Hu, a logistics company in shatai Road, Guangzhou In fact, the price will not go up for a long time The time of going up is only about one month After floating up, with the strength of road improvement gradually weakened, overload phenomenon will be revived Because the motive force of factory freight owners to pursue low-cost freight rates to obtain corresponding profits still exists, they will try their best to find freight carriers with lower prices When the trend of rectifying overload is over, there will always be someone who re operates the old overload industry in order to maintain business or seize business from others In order not to be taken away from their jobs, the drivers had to answer the call and go on the old road of overloading So after such a vicious competition, overload will prevail In fact, the government has been cracking down on overload every year, but after the rectification, the situation is still the same, so she lacks confidence in effectively curbing overload, said Ms Hu Because Miss Hu witnessed the ups and downs of transport prices in recent years She said that the current transportation price, from 600 to 700 yuan per ton five years ago (to some place for example), has dropped to 400 to 500 yuan now Feima international logistics also listed the following figures: two or three years ago, the amount of goods shipped to Shanghai was 800 to 1000 yuan per ton, but now it is down to more than 400 yuan It is understood that in fact, in recent years, the road charges, gasoline fees and taxes have only increased but not decreased Since the cost is increasing, but the freight income is decreasing, it can be seen that if the drivers at the grass-roots level do not overload and press the right
