Recently, China Traffic Radio reported that Conch Cement Company in Sishui County , Jining, was exposed to serious overloading problems. Large trucks with a total mass limit of 49 tons stipulated by the state can be loaded up to 190 tons by refitting, heightening the box plate, thickening the tires and widening the steel plate. More than
a dozen refitted trucks, carrying overweight cement and gravel, paid "benefit fees" and, under the instructions of "guides", evaded the inspection of traffic police and dynamic weighbridges and sent them to various places.
Illegal overloading is known as the first killer of highways, which not only seriously damages highway and bridge facilities, easily causes road traffic accidents, endangers the safety of people's lives and property, but also seriously disrupts the order of the transport market. Since 2004, the relevant departments of the state have been promoting the control of vehicle overloading.
In 2016, the Ministry of Transport and other five departments jointly issued the Opinions on Further Improving the Control of Illegal Refitting and Overloading of Trucks. The Opinions require that local road transport management agencies, in conjunction with relevant departments, strengthen the investigation of cargo distribution centers such as mines, cement plants, ports and logistics parks, and identify key freight source units.
It can be seen that the cement industry is the hardest hit area of overloading transportation. "The main reason for the overload phenomenon is that when the motor rings, the gold is ten thousand taels, and the word" profit "is the first." An industry insider once told China Cement Network.
The Opinion calls for guiding the units at the source of freight transport to install and use weighing equipment, strengthening the supervision of cargo loading in key units at the source of freight transport by means of law enforcement personnel stationed, patrol and video surveillance, and eliminating overloaded vehicles from the source.
To say that cement enterprises have all the cargo weighing equipment, they can give full play to the role of the source of freight transport to prevent overloaded vehicles from driving on the road, but this is not the case.
The reporter asks: So does conch cement company know after all to these problems?
The truck driver replied, "They know. They just turn a blind eye. In fact, the Conch Cement Company can completely control the loading volume of the truck, but they did not control it.".
The Opinions clearly put forward that "one over four penalties" should be strictly implemented. Four penalties refer to transport vehicles, drivers, freight transport enterprises and carriers (source enterprises). Cement enterprises play the role of carriers. Exceeding is also one of the targets of punishment. Is the cement enterprise by who "cover"? Do not bear the responsibility of the carrier to eliminate overloading? Over
load control is an extremely difficult battle. How to further prevent and control the bad habit of "overloading and overloading" and promote the healthy development of road freight transport? On the one hand, we should strengthen supervision, broaden the channels for complaints and reports, and strictly implement the "one over four penalties". On the other hand, we should strengthen vocational education and training, promote cement enterprises and industry personnel to deeply realize the potential harm caused by overloading, overloading and other violations, fulfill the main responsibility of the carrier, be a participant in overloading control, not a bystander, let alone help the tyrant to do evil.
