What kind of goods are you hauling? Which way?

Truck as the blood of economic operation for the people's clothing, food, housing and transportation services. As a means of production, the truck gives employees the responsibility of supporting their families and getting rid of poverty and becoming well-off. Getting a driver's license (whether it's a C or a B) gives you access to the industry, and with the help of various financial services, you can enter the trucking industry almost from scratch. As a truck Xiaobai, how to choose the vehicle when entering the freight industry? Here is my experience to share with you. One, what kind of goods? We buy a car to haul goods. Before we buy a car, we must find out what the goods are. What is the weight of the goods? How to load it on the car? Are goods protected during transportation? How to protect and so on. According to different cargo categories and protection requirements, we choose different models (dump truck? A truck? Barn car or van, etc.). At the same time, according to the type and weight of goods, choose the vehicle's power system (mainly engine/gearbox, etc.) and bearing system (mainly the auxiliary height/thickness of the frame, the bearing tonnage of the axle, the situation of the plate spring/multi-blade spring? Less spring, etc.), and then according to the regulations required for bearing (blue card 4.5T total mass/yellow card 12T total mass /18T total mass......) Choose the right tire type. Top semi trailer manufacturers claimed The tire type corresponds to different total mass limits. The simplest is that under the condition of the new regulations on trucks, the maximum blue truck can only use 7.00R16 tires. 7.50R16 tires are non-standard models, and they cannot be on the blue plate after September 1. The 18T total mass two-axle vehicle can only be equipped with 10.00R20 18PR or vacuum tires of the same grade, and it is necessary to pay attention to the level data of tires, otherwise the license may be affected because the tires do not meet the requirements. (The model of the tire is also related to the model of the selected bridge, which is relatively complex and professional. I will explain it in detail later when I have the opportunity.) Two, which way? We have a clear idea of what goods to drive, and then we need to know what kind of road to drive these goods. In what environment does it operate? This involves matching our powertrain and load-bearing systems. We pull daily merchandise, generally in the northern city or suburban distribution, vehicle running road conditions to hardening county roads or urban expressways, the vehicle load is light, road conditions are relatively good, we can consider light load when we choose vehicles, the engine power can choose smaller, Rear axle speed ratio and transmission gear can choose a more general configuration (for example, blue brand model uses a light load of 2.5L engine /6 gear transmission /4T rear axle configuration of 4.44); However, if we are operating in mountainous areas such as Yunnan and Guizhou, which are also daily necessities, the configuration of the models we choose is not the same. The road conditions in mountainous areas are complex, including flat urban roads, county roads and national roads with large ramps, and the vehicles are required to have a certain speed and be able to climb hills. At this time, it may be more appropriate to choose a 2.5L engine / 8-speed transmission /4T rear axle configuration with 4.875 speed ratio. By analogy, we select the required model's power system configuration and rear axle speed ratio and other parameters according to the road characteristics, and then roughly calculate the economic speed of the vehicle under the condition of load according to these parameters, and compare whether it can meet the requirements of use. There are many tools to calculate the speed on the network. You only need to choose several key configuration models of the vehicle, and you can automatically calculate the speed of each gear. It is simple and practical, and you can try to measure it yourself. Third, how to calculate the income? By knowing what to haul and what route to take, we can get a rough idea of how much it will cost to maintain the business. We can calculate how much diesel is needed to pull a trip according to the load of goods, distance, labor costs and vehicle maintenance expenditure budget (some vehicles and loan fees, logistics company affiliated management fees). How many trips a day? How much is the average maintenance expenditure and insurance expenditure of a single vehicle? And the cost of labor for a single trip (which varies depending on whether you need to load or unload)? ... These expenses make up the cost of running the vehicle. Our revenue is the freight of our goods. Freight is calculated according to the trip, or according to the ton/km calculation, which needs to be confirmed according to the actual situation of the user. Our final profit is our freight minus all the above operating expenses. In the process of calculating income, we also need to consider the settlement method of freight, whether the need for separate billing, etc., after all, financial expenses and billing taxes are also an important part of operating expenses. So our cost of buying the car divided by the average monthly income is our payback cycle, which is how many months do I have to work to earn back the money I invested in the car. The turnaround cycle determines the profitability of the vehicle and the level of operation of the driver. Iv. The prospect and supervision of the goods industry? In front of us talked about "pull what goods, what road, how to calculate the income", when buying a car also need to pay attention to the industry prospects and supervision of the goods, if the goods are high pollution and high energy consumption and other sunset industry, then we need to consider the operation cycle of the industry, after the volume of the industry may be reduced year by year, transportation prices may be reduced year by year, Then combined with the purchase cycle to decide whether to enter the transportation industry. Conversely, if the goods are supported and encouraged by the state to develop an emerging industry, the industry has a good prospect for development, the volume may increase year by year, the demand for transportation will also increase year by year, the transportation price is relatively stable or improved, then we buy a car at the right time, there will be no vehicle investment can not recover the cost of concerns. In addition, when choosing a car, it also needs to be combined with the regulatory policies of the transportation area. For example, the blue brand vehicle in the city distribution can't go into the city if the carrying quality is above 1.5T. Then when we buy a car, we need to pay attention to the selection of models with the carrying quality below 1.5T. The overloading of the local yellow card vehicle is calculated according to the total mass of the 2-axis 18T or according to the total mass of the driving license, which relates to the relationship between the weight of the goods we transport and the total mass of the vehicle. The load quality of the vehicle can be reasonably selected (the insurance involves different gears such as 2T/5T/10T, the load quality is different, and the insurance cost is different). To save running costs.
