Semi trailer transportation is a widely used transportation mode in the domestic logistics industry at present. It can generally be divided into long-distance and short-distance. Which of these two transportation forms is better? Or which makes more money? Let's talk about this topic today.

How to distinguish between long-distance transportation and short-distance transportation?

According to the travel time, those within 4 hours are called short-distance transportation, and those more than 10 hours are called long-distance transportation.

According to the driving mileage, short distance transportation is called when the transportation distance is 25 km or less, and long-distance transportation is called when the transportation distance is more than 25 km.

Characteristics of short distance transportation:

1. Short mileage:

In general, the round-trip distance of short-distance transportation in large cities is no more than 300 kilometers, and the transportation mileage in small cities is shorter.

2. High timeliness requirements:

For example, due to the fact that the transportation time limit is less than 0.5 hours, the customer has strict requirements for the transportation time limit.

3. High proportion of urban sections:

In short distance transportation, there are many roads in urban areas. Due to the existence of many intersections and the increase of the total number of vehicles in urban areas, the average speed is generally about 40 per hour.

4. The transportation task can be completed on the same day:

The business of short distance transportation can be completed on the same day. Generally, there are exceptions when it is completed across days.

Characteristics of long-distance transportation:

Compared with short-distance transportation, long-distance transportation is generally characterized by fast, simple, direct, long transportation distance, long turnover time and fixed driving route.

Generally speaking, short-distance transportation is short and close to home. You can go home every day. Basically, you can work and take care of your family. However, due to the short transportation distance, loading and covering the tarpaulin here will be dismantled and unloaded after running for a few hours, and then loading and covering the tarpaulin will be more cumbersome. In addition, due to the high requirements of timeliness and rush time, I run down two or three times a day, and it's too late to get home. If I'm tired, I have to be angry.

In contrast, long-distance transportation, although you can't get home for ten days and a half months, it's better than short distance in terms of complexity. You can run for a few days with a load of goods, and the time should be relatively loose. However, after a few days of eating and living in the car, fatigue can not be avoided. In addition, work and rest planning needs to be done to avoid fatigue driving.

As for which mode of transportation makes more money, we need to analyze specific problems.

In the past, the freight of long-distance transportation was usually higher, and one trip of transportation may last for several days. Now the transportation industry is gradually standardized, which is originally a good thing, but the implementation standards of the new regulations are not unified in all regions of the country. If it is a special line transportation, it is better. After all, it is a fixed line. But if it is a strange area, if the owner can't find out his transportation standards in advance, it is easy to violate the rules. Once the rules are violated, he will be fined, deducted points Demotion or replenishment of freight is unavoidable. If there are more additional expenses, the income will naturally be less.

If we look at short distance transportation and get familiar with the relevant provisions of transportation routes, we can better avoid violations. In addition, it is more flexible. If this line does not find a suitable source of goods, you can always see whether other lines have a source of goods, and even compare the freight, which is higher than the other, which is more selective.

In addition, the background of the transportation industry is sluggish, the cost of maintaining cars remains high, but the freight rate remains low. In this case, the main factor affecting the amount of money is whether the supply of goods is sufficient and stable. In the words of the car owner: as long as the supply of goods is sufficient and fixed, we can make money no matter long-distance or short-distance.

There are no more than two ways to increase revenue: reduce costs or increase freight within the scope allowed by laws and regulations. How to achieve it? For example, use Darong lightweight axle. First, the self weight is reduced by about 15% compared with the traditional axle, which means that there is 15% more transportation space under the laws and regulations; Second, in the maintenance cycle, maintenance is free for 2 years / 500000 km, reducing the cost of comprehensive vehicles; The third is the application of one-piece shaft technology, which replaces the traditional three-piece welded shaft, with stronger heavy load performance, more durability and manufacturing resistance; Fourth, higher cost performance. The average price of conventional drum axle is about 3500 and that of disc axle is about 6500, so that car owners can spend less money on higher quality axles.
