<Anchor> It



is often the case that truck drivers do not receive fares even after driving hundreds of kilometers with loads. In this case, it is not easy to get your money back, but as more and more people receive jobs through online platform companies, this damage has increased.



Reporter Hyung-woo Jeon covered the report.

Jung-il Moon, a trailer driver, worked for a transportation company for nearly 5 years and ended up paying 70 million won in freight charges.



[Moon Jeong-il / Freight truck driver: If you work, you don't get paid exactly as much as you work on the date. If the receivables were



delayed by

20 million won, then it would increase to 25 million won.] I

filed a lawsuit and won, but the transportation company went bankrupt and went bankrupt, so I didn't get a penny back.



[Moon Jeong-il / Freight car driver: Woncheong gave us all the money, but if we don't pay it in the middle stage, we have nowhere to complain.] Because



it takes time for transportation companies to receive money from the shipper, This is often the case due to the practice of paying freight truck drivers a month later.



As online platforms that connect transportation jobs become more common, the damage caused by truck drivers is increasing.



Kochi-young, a 25-ton truck driver, did not receive any money from Uiseong, Gyeongsangbuk-do to Naju, Jeollanam-do last year, even after transporting it for more than 350km.



[Ko Chi-young / Freight car driver: If you take off the transportation cost even once in the middle, you have to go somewhere to pay it off.] The



cost of oil alone cost 260,000 won, but the shipping company went bankrupt.



The platform app that connects the transport operator and the freight driver indicates when the fare is paid, such as prepaid and cash on delivery, but many small business operators often pay more than a month or do not even give them.



In addition, as contracts are made competitively through platform apps, freight rates have been lowered, and situations where illegal waste transportation or overloading have become more frequent.



[Jae-Jong Nam/Director of Cargo Solidarity Policy Bureau: If there is an incident where the



transportation fee

cannot be received, there is a reason for subrogation because the platform is also in the business of making a profit.]

There was also a one-day warning strike demanding the introduction of the system and the expansion of the 'safe fare system' that sets the minimum fare by law.
