“Good morning, Kago Kadi, I’m delivering from the toll station in Suzhou Industrial Park. My health code suddenly turned yellow. I received a message saying that I went to Jiaxing on March 28 and completed the nucleic acid twice in three days. The test is automatically converted to a green code, I haven’t been to the high school risk area, I don’t have a star, I don’t know which exit in Suzhou can do nucleic acid test, who knows, thank you.”
At 12:00 on April 9, the truck driver Master Wu posted a message on an app called “Kayou Zone” asking for help. At 8 o’clock that night, a reporter from “Daily Economic News” contacted Master Wu. He told the reporter that because the Yangcheng Lake toll station in Suzhou was closed before, and the nearby service area refused to enter for nucleic acid testing, he had left Suzhou and went to Hangzhou.
In the past few days, affected by the new crown epidemic, the provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Delta and surrounding provinces such as Shandong have strengthened control measures on expressways, and some toll gates and service areas have been closed, affecting many truck drivers.On April 7, the Ministry of Transport held a meeting on the logistics guarantee coordination working mechanism and pointed out that it is necessary to formulate traffic control measures in accordance with laws and regulations, and must not increase the number of layers and make a one-size-fits-all approach to ensure uniform traffic control policies.
Many high-speed toll stations and service areas in the Yangtze River Delta are closed Truck drivers can’t get off the highway
Due to the spread of the new crown epidemic, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai have taken relevant measures such as closing expressway exits and toll stations.
According to the relevant regulations issued by Shanghai, from 3:00 on April 1st to 3:00 on April 5th, in key areas and adjacent areas such as Minhang District, Xuhui District, Jiading District and other adjacent areas to the west of the Huangpu River, all expressway toll stations will be temporarily closed. Tunnels and bridges are suspended; from 5:00 on March 28 to 3:00 on April 5, 9 exits of the Shanghai Ring Expressway, including G2 Jinghu, G15 Zhuqiao, Qingpu S26 Huchang, etc. in Jiading District, will implement traffic control in the direction of exiting Shanghai, and vehicles leaving Shanghai will be closed. The driver and passenger must hold a negative nucleic acid certificate within 48 hours.
As of April 2, a total of 158 toll stations and 36 service areas on Jiangsu Expressway were closed, according to the Modern Express. Take Suzhou, which refused Master Wu’s access to the expressway, as an example. The city has closed two-way exits at multiple toll stations including G2 Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, G15 Shenhai Expressway, G1521 Changjia Expressway, G15 Shenhai Expressway Shaxi Service Area, G1521 Changjia Expressway, etc. The high-speed Chenghu service area, etc., were closed in both directions.
Master Wu said,At about 10 pm on April 7, the Yangcheng Lake service area was closed, and the nucleic acid detection point at the exit of the toll station was also removed. He had to spend the night on the expressway.Dinner is just a bowl of instant noodles. And like myself, there are many drivers who spend the night on the high-speed emergency lane, and the large trucks who cannot get off the high-speed lined up for a long way.
Master Wu said that as long as the nucleic acid is done again and the result is negative, the delivery can be completed at high speed.However, on April 8 and April 9, the high-speed nucleic acid testing points he rushed to refused to do nucleic acid testing for him after learning that he was a “yellow code”.In this way, Master Wu “falls into an infinite loop”.
In desperation, on the afternoon of April 9, Master Wu had to drive the car to Xiasha, Hangzhou.Hangzhou Xiasha Toll Station allowed him to get off the expressway after completing the nucleic acid test for him. Afterwards, the Hangzhou traffic police took him to the “Yellow and Red Code Special Parking Lot” for isolation. After disinfecting the truck, the venue staff gave him a hearty lunch, “There are braised pig’s trotters, stir-fried mushrooms with small green vegetables, and Fried meat with an onion.” Master Wu said, which moved him quite a bit.
It is reported that from 10:00 today (April 10), Hangzhou will close 13 expressway toll stations, involving the Ring Expressway, the West Ring Road, and the Hangjinqu Expressway. The latest news shows that from 20:00 on April 9, Yiwu has temporarily closed six exits including the Shangxi exit of the Hangjinqu Expressway, the Yiting exit of the Yongjin Expressway, and the Fotang exit.
Hebei, Shandong, Guangdong and other provinces strengthen high-speed control
In addition to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, Hebei, Shandong, Guangdong and other places are also strengthening the control of expressway and truck drivers.
According to the Hebei Expressway Travel Information Service Network, as of 18:00 on April 9, many toll stations around Handan, Chengde, Langfang and other cities were closed in both directions, including Qinglan Expressway, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, and Capital Ring Expressway. However, due to the epidemic prevention and control, vehicle traffic is slow on many road sections. On the Daguang Expressway, Xibaipo Expressway, Jingde Expressway and other sections, there are vehicles with a length of about 1 km passing slowly.
According to incomplete statistics of truck treasure,Hebei ProvinceToll stations in many places require truck drivers to provide a negative nucleic acid test result within 48 hours before they can pass, and those who have travel cards with stars or come from medium and high-risk areas will be advised to return. Handan Traffic said that starting from April 8, the main urban area of Handan City (within the ring road) and its surrounding areas will be closed and controlled. The closure time is tentatively set for 3 days, and transit vehicles will all detour.
According to the information from the highway network, from the evening of April 8 to the early morning of April 9,Shandong ProvinceInner Linzi, Linzi East, Zouping West and other expressways were temporarily closed.At the same time, most toll booths were closed due to the epidemic prevention control, causing vehicles to travel slowly, and many expressway service areas were also temporarily closed.
On the morning of April 9, the relevant staff of Shandong Expressway Group told the reporter of “Daily Economic News” that most of the highway entrances and exits temporarily closed in Shandong Province are due to epidemic control reasons. Transit vehicles. At about 4 pm, the real-time road conditions of the Shandong Expressway Smart Travel Official Account showed that the control of expressways in Shandong Province mostly occurred in areas adjacent to surrounding provinces, including Rizhao, Linyi, Heze and other areas, in addition to Binzhou, Zibo, Jining and other industries Concentration cities also have controls.
It is understood that there has not been a large-scale closure of expressways in Guangdong Province due to epidemic prevention. However, in the past few days, the health management of truck drivers has also been strengthened in various places in Guangdong. Emergency notices on strengthening the health management of truck drivers have been issued in many places.
After April 5, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Zhongshan and other places have successively issued notices on strengthening the health management of truck drivers.Many places also require truck drivers from outside the province to take nucleic acid samples at expressway exits (service areas, traffic stations, etc.) before they can be released, and they must also hold a Yuekang code green code and a negative 24-hour nucleic acid test result before entering the workplace.
The “Daily Economic News” reporter noticed that relevant policies require truck drivers and drivers outside the province to report to the destination workplace 24 hours in advance to report the vehicle license plate number, planned arrival time, travel history in the past 14 days, and all Names, ID numbers, phone numbers, etc. of the passengers, and report to the “three-person team” of the local village (community) from the workplace. Among them, Zhuhai, Zhaoqing, Qingyuan, Zhongshan and other places require that all arriving trucks (whether inside or outside the province) must be reported in advance.
Truck drivers become the focus of epidemic prevention
Before that,Due to the inconsistent epidemic prevention policies in various regions, the one-size-fits-all approach in some areas, and the congestion caused by high-speed control, the enthusiasm of truck drivers has been affected.
In fact, due to the long distance traveled by truck drivers and the many places they have passed, almost every truck driver will have a star on their itinerary card. This also means that they are one of the key targets of urban epidemic prevention.
According to Master Li, a truck driver from Anhui, after truck drivers queue up to get off the expressway, they must first identify the pass, then do antigen testing and nucleic acid sampling, and then local staff will affix a seal to the truck door.During the loading and unloading period, the seal cannot be torn apart during the whole process, and the driver of the truck will eat and drink on the vehicle until he drives off at high speed again.At this time, I can only “hope you don’t have diarrhea,” Master Li joked.
Some truck drivers were persuaded to return because they couldn’t get a pass, but the queues of trucks to be inspected were long, and they could be blocked for hours before they could turn around. Master Li said that some truck drivers simply stayed at home because they were stuck on the road for too long. He himself is worried that his family members will be quarantined or infected. He has not dared to go home for a month. He eats and drinks in the car all day, and does not dare to order takeout. He has always wanted to wait until the epidemic is over before going back.
In addition, in order to save time, many truck drivers are accustomed to completing most of the activities on the vehicle, and the loaded goods are sealed, and the driver cannot get off the whole process from loading to unloading.In the past few days, many parts of the country, especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, have tightened epidemic prevention inspections on trucks. The pass has become one of the necessary documents for truck drivers to pass smoothly.A nucleic acid certificate is required to declare a pass, but the driver may not be able to get off the bus for a few days due to epidemic prevention requirements, so the nucleic acid certificate cannot be obtained.
Master Li told the “Daily Economic News” reporter that a special device “drip brake” is often installed on large trucks. This device cools the brake system by spraying water, so that the brake hub temperature is not too high and the braking effect is weakened.According to Master Li, he saw some colleagues who were trapped on the highway for several days and had to rely on dripping brakes to quench their thirst.
Various places have introduced measures to serve “card friends” The Ministry of Transport requires “one break and three continuous”
Earlier, competent authorities in Ningbo, Hangzhou and other places have paid attention to the problem of epidemic prevention and control of truck drivers and issued relevant policies.
On April 5, Ningbo issued the “Notice on Further Doing a Good Job in the Prevention and Control of the Epidemic of Truck Drivers” to strengthen the care and care services for truck drivers coming to and returning to Ningbo, and ensure smooth flow in an orderly manner.Including the implementation of precise control, ensuring smooth transportation, adding special nucleic acid sampling points, and ensuring truck drivers stop and rest.

Among them, Ningbo requires the high-speed bayonet to improve the inspection efficiency of the nucleic acid test certificate of truck drivers; it is not simply to restrict the passage of vehicles by the place of registration and the place of residence; it is strictly forbidden to block expressways, ordinary national and provincial trunk roads, and rural roads without authorization. It is strictly forbidden to simplify the prevention and control measures and apply one-size-fits-all; timely coordinate and solve problems such as parking difficulties and accommodation difficulties, and must not refuse truck drivers to stay and eat without any reason.
On April 6, Hangzhou issued the “Notice on Printing and Distributing Hangzhou’s Ten Measures for Caring and Caring for Truck Drivers”.The territorial government is required to provide free hot water for truck drivers around the clock; during dinner time, free meals are provided for stranded truck drivers, and if conditions permit, priority will be given to arranging truck parking lots to provide rest, hot water, hot meals, showers and other services.
At the same time, Hangzhou has launched the services of “exemption for minor violations of regulations for the first error” and “reservation system for illegal handling” for freight drivers; a 55% discount policy for expressway tolls is implemented for transport vehicles that legally load international standard containers; small and micro freight enterprises are given In 2022, the expenditure on epidemic prevention and sterilization shall not exceed 50% of the subsidy.
On April 7, the Ministry of Transport held a meeting on the working mechanism of logistics guarantee coordination.The meeting pointed out that the problem of inadequate implementation of policies in some regions and layer-by-layer overweight still exists, and the problem of poor logistics operation in some epidemic-related regions such as the Yangtze River Delta is more prominent.
The meeting emphasized that it is necessary to immediately deploy and implement practical and effective measures to ensure “one interruption and three continuous” (“break”Refers to resolutely blocking the transmission channel of the virus;“Three Continuous”It is the continuous road transportation network, the continuous green channels for emergency transportation, and the continuous channels for the transportation of necessary mass production and living materials).
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport stated that it is strictly forbidden to set up epidemic prevention testing points on the main lines and service areas of expressways, and it is strictly forbidden to shut down expressway service areas without authorization, so as to ensure the smooth flow of national transportation trunk lines.It is necessary to formulate traffic control measures in accordance with laws and regulations, and must not increase the number of layers, and ensure that the traffic control policies are unified.
After the Ministry of Transport held a meeting on the logistics guarantee coordination working mechanism, Jiangsu, Shandong and other provinces also changed their previous control over trucks and quickly introduced measures to increase services for truck drivers.
On the evening of April 7, the official WeChat account of “Jiangsu Transportation” released the “Jiangsu Expressway Sets up the First Batch of 6 Pairs of Shanghai Port Truck-specific Service Areas”. officially put into use.The dedicated service area for trucks provides catering, toileting, nucleic acid testing and other services for the drivers and passengers of trucks.In the non-dedicated service area for trucks, a dedicated through channel is set up in combination with the actual situation, which is used for the passage of trucks that enter the service area by mistake.
On the afternoon of April 8, Si Jiajun, deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Transportation, said that in order to facilitate enterprises and drivers to apply for a permit, the Provincial Department of Transportation and the Provincial Public Security Department have opened a platform for the entire process of online application of passes.A total of more than 440,000 “Key Material Transport Vehicle Passes” have been processed in all cities in Shandong Province.Among them, there are more than 166,000 electronic passes, of which more than 23,500 have been processed online in a single day, accounting for more than 80% of the total.
On the afternoon of April 9, a reporter from the “Daily Economic News” learned from the Guangdong Provincial Department of Transportation that the Guangdong transportation department has greatly increased the emergency capacity reserve, of which the provincial road freight emergency capacity has increased by 50% on the original basis. The total number of trucks reached 1,650, covering various types of general trucks, refrigerated trucks and dangerous goods transport vehicles.
