Intercept overloaded orders, and ensure the safety of the freight platform

   News background:  

Recently, many freight drivers reported that the weight of the goods far exceeded the approved load of the vehicle on the freight platforms such as Freight Lala and Man Bang Group's Yunman. After receiving the order, the driver found that the goods were overloaded and refused to transport, but the platform judged him to be responsible. According to the latest news, the freight forwarders said that they would correct the overloaded orders that were wrongly judged; The Manbang platform said that they were just an information matching platform. Whether there was overload and whether the order could be concluded needed the driver to communicate and verify with the cargo owner.

   The freight platform cannot "receive all according to the document"

As for the overload standard, it is detailed in documents such as the Regulations on the Administration of Overloaded Transport Vehicles Driving on Roads, which is a national regulation on paper. Both individuals and platforms need to clarify this red line. As a freight transport platform, it is really unreasonable to allow the cargo owner to issue overloaded orders, but without restrictions, "take all orders", and even punish some truck drivers who refuse to accept overloaded orders. detailed

Overloading has always been a persistent problem in the freight industry, and it is also a huge potential safety hazard. When the truck is overloaded and running on the road, it is easy to burst due to increased tire pressure; Overload can easily lead to brake failure, rollover and other accidents, endanger the life of drivers, and seriously affect urban order and traffic safety. Moreover, overloading will also reduce the service life of vehicles, roads, bridges and other public facilities. The truck driver cannot fail to understand these reasons, nor can the freight platform. detailed

   How can the freight platform acquiesce in "overload"?

Freight platforms are prohibited from overloading trucks in the platform rules, which is consistent with national laws and regulations. This shows that the freight platform is well aware of the harmfulness and illegality of truck overloading. However, in actual operation, the freight platform can be described as "receiving all orders according to orders" for overload orders issued by freight employers. The freight employer can issue overload orders on the freight platform at will. However, if the truck driver refuses to deliver overload orders, the freight platform will deduct points. This means that the internal supervision mechanism of the freight platform not only failed to effectively intercept overloaded orders, but to a certain extent acquiesced or even "encouraged" this illegal overload behavior. detailed

Freight is not a joke. For goods transportation, the platform should have a set of corresponding management rules. The owner of the goods should not be allowed to issue the order at will, and the driver should not rush to grab the order. When the driver grabs the order, not all orders will display the goods and weight, but need to communicate with the cargo owner. Even in case of "overload order", the driver may be afraid to cancel the order because of concerns. In this way, no matter for the protection of driver's rights and interests, or for transportation safety, it has formed an unavoidable "trap". detailed

   Always tighten the chord of road safety

There are thousands of roads, safety first. The transportation is not standardized, and there are hidden dangers in safety. Freight platforms should not become hotbeds for overloading. For this reason, relevant departments should strictly implement laws and regulations, force the platform to strictly implement the main responsibility, and block the release and receiving channels of overloaded orders. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the spot check of shipping orders issued on the shipping platform, check whether it is suspected of overload, and punish the shipping platform that allows overload orders in a timely manner according to law. detailed

The freight platform has the advantage of big data processing and information matching ability, so it is advisable to make more efforts in strengthening road transport safety and ensuring the healthy development of the logistics industry. To a certain extent, it is a self retreat of social roles and social responsibilities for the platform to allow overloading, or to acquiesce in overloading in pursuit of single quantity. In the long run, neither the construction of the platform's social image nor the benign interaction with the supervision is a good thing. On this issue, each freight platform should have a more comprehensive consideration. detailed

   V perspective:  

@Love and gratitude: I don't think the driver has any problems.

@Little rabbit won't open the door: this is the responsibility of the platform.

@Hua Feng only said a few words: The driver could not deliver the goods, and would also be deducted points, which was a bit unfair.

@Steamed buns and pickled vegetables: the mechanism of this freight platform needs to be further improved, otherwise it will be exploited.

   Editor's Note:

Overload problem relates to traffic Transportation safety, freight platform should be paid enough attention. More Than This, Nowadays, more and more freight drivers rely on the network platform for job opportunities. Therefore, no matter for the sake of transportation safety or for the need of benign development of the industry, The freight platform should not allow "overload orders", or even pass on the overload risk, but should improve the order release, receipt and other mechanisms as soon as possible to ensure safety. The relevant departments should also promptly intercept the platform and punish the platform that connives at overloading, force the platform to strictly implement safety management responsibilities, strengthen the protection of drivers' rights and interests, and ensure that the freight transport industry moves towards a virtuous circle.
