To bail out "card friends" is to protect the supply chain and protect people's livelihood
■ Editorial
People's daily lives will be worry-free only when truck drivers are worry-free on the road.
The epidemic has reshaped people's lives. For the truck drivers, the "kayou", the working group that has changed because of the epidemic also depends on the working state.
Recently, the epidemic has recurred in many parts of the country, and prevention and control measures have become more and more strict in various places: some places require drivers and passengers who pass through high-risk areas on the way to "one nucleic acid test a day"; some places require drivers "not to leave the cab. , non-contact loading and unloading”; in some places, seals are affixed to foreign vehicles...
This group of "card friends" whose occupational status is "always on the road" are facing the problem of "people on the road" in the face of epidemic prevention policies in different places.
Some "card friends" were forced to stay on the highway and trapped in the car due to the asterisk of the itinerary.
At the critical stage of epidemic prevention and control, people can suspend the movement of people, but production and living materials cannot stay for a while.
People's three meals a day and economic operation are inseparable from the rolling wheels of truck drivers.
To bail out the "card friends" and get through the blockages along the way, is to protect the supply chain and protect people's livelihood.
For this reason, the State Council and the Ministry of Transport have deployed day by day, requiring all localities to do a good job in ensuring the smooth flow of freight and logistics.
Among them, it is proposed that the passage of freight vehicles and drivers and passengers should not be restricted at will, and the place of registration and household registration should not be used as a condition for restricting passage. , stop.
These specific and clear requirements face the pain points of the current road freight industry and are practical measures to relieve the difficulties of truck drivers.
This also requires that all localities need to formulate scientific, reasonable and humanized epidemic prevention measures according to the local conditions based on the decisions of the superiors, and coordinate the epidemic prevention and control and ensure the smooth flow of the work, so as to ensure that the "guaranteed supply artery" is unimpeded.
The epidemic has lasted for more than two years, and the road freight industry, as a basic industry for the development of the national economy, has become more and more important, especially when the "epidemic" is tight, which is more directly related to the guarantee of emergency materials for people's livelihood and the stability of the supply chain.
Once an obstruction is encountered on the way, its impact will inevitably involve all aspects and profoundly affect the normal production and life of the people.
The group of truck drivers who are rushing to the front line of logistics directly undertake the heavy responsibility of guaranteeing production and living materials.
Under the epidemic, they are the strugglers who are running for their lives, and they are also "retrogrades" who guarantee the supply of the market. The production and living materials they transport play an important role in supporting social and economic development.
Due to the special attributes of the industry, it is determined that truck drivers have a wide area of movement and many routes, and inevitably become the key "objects of concern" for epidemic prevention and control.
Precise prevention and control has always been my country's epidemic prevention policy. It is understandable to take strict defensive measures to avoid the spread of the virus. However, all localities should resolutely put an end to "one-size-fits-all" epidemic prevention measures, especially for truck drivers.
The Ministry of Transport has made it clear that for "one-size-fits-all" persuasion to return, illegally setting up epidemic prevention checkpoints, and unauthorized blocking of road transportation channels, it must urge immediate rectification through serious notification, interviews, etc.; . If the flow of goods is seriously affected, the supply of materials is interrupted, or negative public opinion is triggered, the relevant units and personnel shall be held accountable in accordance with laws and regulations.
This provides the basic policy requirements for ensuring smooth logistics in various places.
To this end, in addition to establishing and implementing a pass system with a unified format, national mutual recognition, and convenient handling as soon as possible, it is also necessary to take into account scientific, rational and humanized care at the end of epidemic prevention and control, so that truck drivers can feel the warmth of the epidemic prevention policy. .
It must be recognized that if truck drivers cannot even guarantee their basic life, the basis for ensuring smooth logistics will no longer exist.
Therefore, all regions and departments have the responsibility and obligation to help the group of truck drivers.
The notice issued by the State Council this time also mentioned that regions with conditions are encouraged to provide free nucleic acid testing services for truck drivers and crew members.
Effectively provide basic living services such as catering and toileting for truck drivers and crew members who are stranded due to the epidemic.
Epidemic prevention and control is a systematic project. Adhering to a national game of chess, overall planning, coordination and linkage, and good transportation service guarantee work, can "card friends" "have no turning back", and all localities can "have food in their hands and not panic in their hearts."
Under the overall situation of the fight against the epidemic, all localities have gone all out to open a green channel for the supply and security chain, which is related to the health and well-being of thousands of households, and more importantly, the livelihood of thousands of industries.
