"People's Daily" (13th edition on April 27, 2022)
Introduction
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during a recent inspection in Hainan that "the current global COVID-19 epidemic is still very serious, especially the prevention and control work cannot be relaxed." Improve scientific and precise prevention and control skills, improve various emergency plans, and strictly implement normalized prevention and control measures to minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development."
Road transportation is responsible for more than 70% of the freight and passenger traffic in the whole society. It is the "artery" supporting economic and social development, and it is also an important link in the prevention and control of the epidemic.
Due to the large number of local, widespread and frequent outbreaks of local epidemics in the country recently, the prevention and control of the epidemic in some areas has affected traffic flow, resulting in problems such as vehicle detention and poor logistics.
On April 10, the State Council issued a notice on the joint prevention and control mechanism for the novel coronavirus infection pneumonia epidemic, deploying and effectively doing a good job in ensuring the smooth flow of freight and logistics.
On the 18th, a national teleconference on ensuring smooth logistics and promoting the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain was held, and ten important measures were deployed, requiring efforts to achieve "people's livelihood must be supported, freight must be smooth, and industries must be recycled."
What is the effect of the policy? The truck drivers who take the car as their home and the road as their companion all year round feel the most direct.
Recently, our reporter went to Nanjing, Jiangsu, Hefei, Anhui, and Lanling, Shandong, and approached three truck drivers.
On April 20th, they were running on the expressway to and from Shanghai at the same time: at 5:13, Wang Wenchang drove the "Shanghai DT5615" container truck from Pudong, Shanghai, arrived in Hefei, Anhui at 13:00 to pick up the goods, and successfully shipped a batch of The laptop will be exported from Shanghai Yangshan Port; at 6:54, Han Jianmin drove the "Lu QHN864" truck, loaded with 2,100 boxes of vegetables from Lanling, Shandong, and arrived at Shanghai Baoshan at 14:00; at 8:56, Guo Hui Driving the "Su A7C753" truck, loaded with 20 tons of aluminum parts, an indispensable part of the automobile assembly production line, starting from Nanjing, Jiangsu, and arriving in Fengxian, Shanghai at 15:00.
With the continuous implementation of the guarantee work, what did the three truck drivers on the highway see, what did they encounter, and what kind of experience did they have?
Let's listen to their personal experiences together.
"After running for more than 600 kilometers, I saw the highway toll station reopened, the traffic jam was less, and the road conditions were better than I expected."
"Dong dong", there was a light sound outside the car door, awakening the truck driver Han Jianmin who was taking a nap in the cab.
This is the public welfare agricultural product wholesale market in Lanling County, Linyi City, Shandong Province, and it is also the origin of his trip.
Holding the seat adjustment handle, Han Jianmin sat up.
Before the window glass was completely rolled down, the staff in protective clothing greeted him: "The dishes are all finished, please cooperate with the inspection."
"Okay." Han Jianmin took out his mobile phone, the time displayed on the screen was 6:40.
Opening the Shandong Electronic Health Pass applet, he showed the electronic pass, health code, itinerary code and 48-hour nucleic acid test report one by one.
After checking, the staff handed Han Jianmin a few bags of instant noodles, 4 breads, and 2 bottles of mineral water.
At 6:54, Han Jianmin drove out of the wholesale market.
The red truck with the license plate number "Lu QHN864", carrying 2,100 boxes of vegetables, was bound for Baoshan District, Shanghai.
Han Jianmin, 29, is from Linyi and runs a car transportation team.
To guarantee the supply to Shanghai, Han Jianmin also came up with a contribution to help Shanghai with another driver partner.
As a major vegetable-producing county, Lanling delivered 541 trains of vegetables and 19.035 million kilograms of vegetables to Shanghai from March 20 to April 26 at 17:00.
Lanling County adopts measures such as fixed personnel management, fixed collection point acquisition, fixed market sales, fixed vehicle transportation, and fixed expressway access to ensure that the quality of vegetables is guaranteed and the transportation is timely and effective.
Having owned sports cars for many years, Han Jianmin is no stranger to this route to Shanghai.
However, there have been frequent epidemics recently, and it is inevitable to feel uneasy in my heart: Can the highway pass smoothly?
Is the service area open normally?
Is it convenient to eat on the way?
Before leaving, he bought a lot of bread, ham and mineral water.
Unexpectedly, the journey went smoothly after departure, and the food prepared was not finished.
The "Notice of the State Council's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism for the New Coronavirus Infection Pneumonia Epidemic on Effectively Doing a Good Job in Keeping Freight and Logistics Safe" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice") issued on April 10 requires that "all regions and relevant departments must quickly Start the three-level dispatching of ministries and provincial stations, the linkage of road police, and regional coordination to ensure smooth flow, strengthen road network monitoring and dispatch, solve problems such as road network blocking and blockage in a timely manner, and ensure the smooth flow of main traffic lines. It is strictly forbidden to block or close without authorization. Highways, ordinary roads, waterway locks.”
After Han Jianmin set off from the Lanling West Toll Station on the expressway, he entered the Jiangsu expressway network from Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province in about an hour.
"From Lanling to Shanghai, I ran more than 600 kilometers all the way. I saw that the highway toll station was reopened, and there were less traffic jams. The road conditions were better than I expected." Han Jianmin said, "The epidemic prevention checkpoint was originally set up on the main line of the expressway. , are now withdrawn."
What Han Jianmin has seen and heard is consistent with the monitoring data of the Jiangsu Expressway Dispatching Command Center.
As of April 25, of the 434 expressway toll stations in Jiangsu Province, 415 were opened and 7 closed except for construction closures, an increase of 122 from April 10.
From April 12 to 25, the average daily flow of Jiangsu expressway network exports was 486,700 vehicles, an increase of 21.95% over the period from April 1 to 11.
Before 9 o'clock, when Han Jianmin's truck was about to arrive in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, Guo Hui, a driver of Nanjing Haoyu Logistics Co., Ltd., drove a truck with a "Su A7C753" license plate from Jiangbei New District, Nanjing City.
Guo Hui, 50, used to drive a taxi before and started working as a truck driver in 2011. This trip delivered 20 tons of aluminum auto parts to a logistics base in Situan Town, Fengxian District, Shanghai.
This trip is Guo Hui's fifth round trip between Nanjing and Shanghai after April 11.
On March 28, Guo Hui's logistics company dispatched 7 trucks to assist the construction of a square cabin hospital in Minhang District, Shanghai, and transported 150,000 pieces of various epidemic prevention facilities and materials; from March 28 to April 20, they were transported for manufacturing The guaranteed supply of materials is nearly 700 trips and more than 20,000 tons.
From the end of last month to the beginning of this month, traffic jams on the road once ranged from 3 to 6 hours.
But this trip took Guo Hui only 6 hours, which is almost the same as before the outbreak of this round of epidemic.
According to data from the regular press conference of the Ministry of Transport held on April 26, as of 24:00 on April 25, a total of 8 toll stations were closed on expressways in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), accounting for 0.07% of the total number of toll stations, compared with 4 On April 10, there were 670 fewer; a total of 32 service areas were closed, accounting for 0.48% of the total number of service areas, 332 less than on April 10.
"Nucleic acid testing is more convenient, the connection of goods is much more convenient, and the driver does not even need to get off the car for loading."
While Han Jianmin and Guo Hui were heading south to Shanghai, Wang Wenchang, the driver of the Shanghai Hefang Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd. team, was driving a truck north to Hefei, Anhui, and the destination was the Comprehensive Bonded Zone of Hefei Economic and Technological Development Zone.
After receiving the order from the company on April 19, Wang Wenchang rushed to Shanghai Luchao Port that night to pick up a 30-ton container.
In the early morning of the 20th, when the alarm clock rang, he rolled over and got up.
At 5:13, he started the truck with the license plate number "Shanghai DT5615" and set off for Hefei.
Seven and a half hours later, Wang Wenchang's truck drove into the Hefei Longtang Toll Station.
The truck stopped, and he stuck out the window. After scanning the code according to the prompt, the green code and the name of the city he arrived at or passed through within 14 days were displayed on the screen of his mobile phone.
The three volunteers at the toll booth divided their labor and cooperated. One held up the sign, the other checked, and the other took out a red sticker and wrote the word "1" in thick pen, meaning there was only one person in the car, and it was glued to the back of the rearview mirror of the truck. .
Seeing the red signs of vehicles from medium and high risk areas, the traffic police immediately waved and guided Wang Wenchang's truck to the second lane on the left.
"We judge the passing areas of drivers and passengers based on the Anhui health code, travel code and expressway toll system, and classify and manage by pasting the sorting signs." Huang Haitian, deputy mayor of Cuozhen Town, Feidong County, Hefei City, has been at the Longtang crossing. On duty for many days.
Huang Haitian introduced that there are many logistics parks around the Longtang crossing. Recently, about 5,500 vehicles are released every day, including about 3,600 large trucks.
During the epidemic prevention and control period, Hefei established a special class for ensuring smooth traffic, and all expressways and national and provincial trunk line stations in the city implemented the "crossing head" responsibility system. A leading cadre at or above the county level served as the crossing head. The government staff of the area under the jurisdiction will jointly settle in, reasonably divide the labor, and guide the diversion of passengers and goods at the expressway toll stations and the inspection points of national and provincial trunk highways.
Under the guidance of the traffic police, the reporter and Wang Wenchang drove into the temporary parking lot on Qiaotouji South Road, 4 kilometers away from the Longtang Toll Station.
This is a closed section of road with a total of 4 lanes, and trucks are lined up in order in an orderly manner.
Wang Wenchang looked at the vacant seat and went straight in.
Turn off the engine, get off the car, and follow the signs to reach the "Medium and High Risk Area Detection Point".
The "Notice" requires that "highway epidemic prevention checkpoints should be located in the square outside the toll station and beyond", "in principle, epidemic prevention checkpoints should be equipped with sufficient nucleic acid detection points nearby, and in the expressway service area with large traffic flow Encrypted setting of nucleic acid detection points".
Wang Wenchang filled in his name, mobile phone number, ID number and place of return on the registration form of the testing point.
After opening the health code inspection, because the nucleic acid test negative certificate will exceed 48 hours, he first takes nucleic acid test samples, and then goes to the inspection point to receive antigen test samples, and the reminder of "please keep a safe distance" is heard from time to time.
When Wang Wenchang was tested for nucleic acid, Li Xiang, a staff member of Hefei Haichen Storage Co., Ltd., came to wait.
He carried the official seal, letter of introduction, ID card and business license with him, and signed the closed-loop management commitment for high-speed access on the spot.
Under the guidance of Li Xiang, Wang Wenchang drove a truck to Xinning No. 6 warehouse in the Comprehensive Bonded Zone of Hefei Economic and Technological Development Zone.
A batch of finished notebook computers and some materials produced by Lianbao (Hefei) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. are ready to be shipped to Brazil via Shanghai Yangshan Port.
Chen Shengwei, deputy director of the Comprehensive Bonded Zone Administration of Hefei Economic and Technological Development Zone, said that in order to ensure smooth transportation of trucks, drivers and passengers will be guided point-to-point by relevant companies to their destinations after receiving antigen testing and nucleic acid sampling.
The day before, the staff of the Comprehensive Bonded Zone of Hefei Economic and Technological Development Zone had obtained the list of vehicles for loading and unloading goods by trucks in medium and high-risk areas to the enterprises in the zone, so Wang Wenchang traveled smoothly all the way.
"Come! Come!" Chen Shengwei, who was stationed at the checkpoint at the gate of the bonded area, waved immediately after seeing Wang Wenchang's license plate number.
After the truck stopped stably, the staff verified the health code and itinerary code, and the epidemic prevention disinfection and fixed-point loading operations were carried out simultaneously.
"Nucleic acid testing is convenient, and the connection of goods is much more convenient. Even loading the goods does not require the driver to get off the car, just drive and follow." Wang Wenchang said.
After the disinfection, he parked the car at the entrance of the warehouse. Three staff members in protective suits opened the container and used an electric forklift to lift a box of packaged goods and transport it into the container.
At the press conference of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council on April 19, Wu Chungeng, director of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, said, "Accelerate the preparations for setting up and make good use of logistics transfer sites to ensure the connection and transportation of goods, closed-loop management of personnel, and no contact with each other." , "focusing on areas such as Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta, to effectively solve the outstanding problems of the logistics supply chain in key areas".
"The packing list has the name and number of the goods, and you can hand it over to the warehouse." Wang Wenchang pointed to the electronic packing list on the mobile phone screen and introduced to the reporter.
Ten minutes later, when the packing was completed, Wang Wenchang got the bill of lading and handed the customs lock to the staff, asking him to lock it for help.
"The customs lock can track the whole process. After this batch of goods arrives in Shanghai, the loading and unloading will be completed as soon as the robot grabs it."
In the dark night, Wang Wenchang was guided by the staff of the company and embarked on the road back to Shanghai.
On the same day, Han Jianmin and Guo Hui also arrived at their destination via Shanghai Yuepu Toll Station and Shanghai Ring Expressway Xinsiping Highway Toll Station respectively, and set foot on the return road after unloading.
"The service guarantee on the expressway has gradually caught up, and the service area's 'easy entry and quick exit' and the toll station's 'easy receipt and fast walk' are becoming a reality."
On the evening of April 20, after Guo Hui completed the unloading at the logistics base in Fengxian District, Shanghai, he received another dispatch instruction and went to a logistics base in Pudong New Area to load the goods.
At 22:38, Guo Hui left Shanghai from the Shanghai Ring Expressway Xinsiping Highway Toll Station, loaded with a batch of machinery and equipment destined for Nanjing.
When you leave Shanghai for inspection, you need to hold a 48-hour nucleic acid test certificate and an electronic passport.
There were not many vehicles on the road, so he was able to pass quickly.
It was 23:00 when the truck drove on the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway. Where can I rest?
When Guo Hui went to and from Shanghai a few times before, some service areas on the expressway were closed. He had to park the truck in the emergency lane, turn on the double flashing lights, and sleep in the cab sleeper for a few hours.
The "Notice" pointed out that "expressway service areas, port terminals, railway stations and airports shall not be closed without authorization", "it must be for truck drivers and passengers who are stranded in closed areas, epidemic prevention checkpoints, highway service areas and other places due to the epidemic. The crew provides basic living services such as catering and toileting.”
What is the actual situation?
Guo Hui intends to "try his luck".
When passing through the Yangcheng Lake service area in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, Guo Hui felt that it was very close to Shanghai and that there would be a lot of trucks.
He continued to drive forward and passed the Fangmaoshan service area in Changzhou City, which is a special service area for the Shanghai Port container trucks and the transport vehicles of the Jiangsu aid team members in the Jiangsu section of the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway.
Here, a system of personal scan code registration and filing, background review and release is implemented for each vehicle, which reduces the risk of personal contact and infection.
Because he did not belong to the service object of the dedicated service area, Guo Hui continued to drive forward.
At about 2 am on the 21st, Guo Hui arrived at the Huanglishu service area in Nanjing, which is more than an hour away from the exit of the destination expressway.
Guo Hui intends to go in and try.
At the entrance, a staff member in protective clothing motioned Guo Hui to show his personal and vehicle itinerary.
After the inspection was correct, Guo Hui was guided to the "dedicated parking space for medium and high risk areas" to park.
In the Huanglishu service area, drivers and passengers traveling to and from medium and high-risk areas can operate in designated outdoor areas, and can also go to outdoor convenience points to pick up hot water, buy food and beverages, etc. along the prescribed route.
Under the guidance of the staff, Guo Hui bought biscuits and mineral water at the convenience point, and the price was basically the same as the market price.
According to the staff, the service area also provides ready-made boxed lunches during meal time, one meat, two vegetables and one soup, 20 yuan per serving.
There are two temporary toilets next to the convenience point, which are disinfected after each use.
The reporter learned that vehicles entering the Huanglishu service area are parked in three areas: high, medium and low risk, and personnel are managed in an orderly manner according to different areas and routes.
At the entrance of the main building of the service area, after the passenger presents the health code, the anti-epidemic gate will instantly recognize it, and there is a supermarket to provide services 24 hours a day.
Truck drivers who meet the conditions of no stopping history in medium and high-risk areas, negative nucleic acid test results within 48 hours, green health code itinerary code, and normal body temperature can enter the main building for shopping.
Cai Renjie, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Jiangsu Communications Holdings Co., Ltd., introduced that at present, there are 500 emergency mobile toilets for epidemic prevention, 182 emergency convenience points, 41 emergency nucleic acid testing points, 30 rapid Antigen detection point.
As of April 25, of the 221 service areas in Jiangsu Province, 201 service areas are in normal operation, 146 service areas provide affordable warm-hearted meals, and 16 service areas are dedicated service areas for container trucks and temporary parking spots for vehicles in medium and high-risk areas. , to provide life insurance for truck drivers.
The sky was bright, and when Guo Hui woke up, it was already 7 am on the 21st.
After he drove away from the Huanglishu service area, he drove to the Yongzhuang inspection point outside the Liuhenan Toll Station of the Nanjing Ring Expressway.
Before departing from Shanghai, Guo Hui has filled in the relevant information on the "My Nanjing" client. After the platform receives the information, the administrative region where the destination is located will check with the territorial enterprise, generate a pass code within 4 hours, and make an appointment for the truck. Quickly check and pass through the green special channel established by the bayonet.
On the way, Guo Hui received a call from Ding Jian, the dispatcher of Nanjing Haoyu Logistics Co., Ltd., informing him that he had retrieved a letter of introduction from the sub-district office to contact and release freight vehicles.
There were 5 return trucks in the same batch. According to the requirements of closed-loop management, they were uniformly picked up by the special epidemic prevention class.
At around 11:00 on the 21st, when the reporter saw Guo Hui at the Yongzhuang Transportation Hub in Nanjing, he had completed the nucleic acid test and antigen test.
Epidemic prevention personnel are carrying out a comprehensive disinfection operation on the truck with an alcohol pot.
Ding Jian handed 5 letters of introduction to the bayonet staff. After checking, the staff returned the temporary driver's license and driving license, and released the truck driven by Guo Hui.
"The service guarantee on the expressway has gradually caught up, and the service area's 'easy in and fast out' and the toll station's 'easy to collect and go quickly' are becoming a reality. The closed-loop management model of 'collect, walk and chase' saves us waiting. The time has improved the loading efficiency." Guo Hui said that previously, the trucks had to wait for the driver's nucleic acid results to be released before they were released, and the longest waiting time was 2 days.
On April 19, at the press conference of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council, Wu Chungeng introduced, "Strictly implement the measures of truck drivers' pick-and-go and chase' + 'personnel closed-loop management'".
On the evening of April 20, Wang Wenchang drove the truck into the Chaohu service area in Anhui.
He took out the thermos bottle from the car and opened the instant noodles that he had picked up for free at the temporary parking lot on Jiman Road in Qiaotou.
After eating and simply taking a shower, Wang Wenchang lay down in the back seat of the cab and fell asleep.
On the evening of the 20th, Han Jianmin successfully returned to the public welfare agricultural product wholesale market in Lanling County.
The agricultural wholesale market in the middle of the night was brightly lit, and red trucks streamed in. "3 zones and 3 channels" were set up in the park to manage vehicles and personnel in different risk areas.
After Han Jianmin showed his red pass, he parked his car in the high-risk isolation rest area in the park. When the day dawned, he would continue to go to Shanghai to deliver food.
"For vehicles that perform transportation tasks again, the whole process of closed-loop management is implemented, which not only ensures the safety of epidemic prevention, but also ensures the supply of vegetables to key areas in the Yangtze River Delta." Wang Guangxing, a member of the party group of Lanling County Commerce Bureau, told reporters.
"The policy of relief and problem solving has a high gold content, which has helped our freight industry 'fuel' and reduce pressure."
On the morning of April 21, after Guo Hui drove the truck into Nanjing Haoyu Logistics Co., Ltd., the loading and unloading workers started the unloading operation immediately, and colleagues handed instant noodles, self-heating rice, mineral water, etc. to Guo Hui.
At the same time, people from the Organization Department of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the provincial, municipal and district transportation departments came to the company to offer condolences to the company, and carried out a caring action for truck drivers of "Fighting the Epidemic, All the Way with Love".
Not long ago, the Organization Department of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee allocated 1 million yuan from the party fees managed by the Provincial Party Committee to support the grass-roots party organizations in the field of road freight to carry out epidemic prevention and control work.
"I heard that a big gift package was sent this time, including milk, biscuits, masks, etc., and there are many items." After a short rest, Guo Hui was about to set off for Shanghai again. "Although the journey is hard, it is also heart-warming. The company runs for us. The freight drivers on the Shanghai route are subsidized, and this month is expected to earn more than 15,000 yuan, which is higher than usual.”
"The increased subsidy for truck drivers and expenses for epidemic prevention materials during the epidemic prevention and control period have increased the company's operating costs to a certain extent." Wei Wenjian, deputy general manager of Nanjing Haoyu Logistics Co., Ltd., said, "As an enterprise, we must bravely shoulder social responsibilities. We will overcome the difficulties together with the drivers and masters, and at the same time hope to further increase policy support and effectively help logistics companies and truck drivers solve a number of urgent problems."
The appeals of market players are constantly being responded positively.
The "Notice" requires that "efforts be made to relieve difficulties and maintain industry stability".
On April 17, the General Office of the Jiangsu Provincial Government issued the "Policies and Measures on Effectively Responding to the New Changes and New Shocks of the Epidemic and Further Helping Enterprises in Relief", which clearly stated that the relevant special funds of the provincial finance should support the epidemic prevention materials for enterprises in the transportation and logistics industries. Expenditure; implement policies and measures such as phased suspension of payment of endowment insurance premiums, and phased suspension of unemployment and work-related injury insurance premiums for five industries including road, water, and railway transportation.
"Our company currently has more than 800 employees and more than 800 trucks, with a loan capital of 40 million yuan and a monthly interest payable of about 230,000 yuan. The rescue and problem-solving policies issued by the province are of high gold content and have helped our freight industry. ', reduce the pressure and ease the pressure on capital turnover." Wei Wenjian said.
In the past few days, various localities have not only introduced targeted measures to help freight logistics companies and practitioners to relieve their difficulties, but also made concerted efforts to open up freight congestion points to ensure the supply chain.
For the first time on the freight line from Shanghai to Hefei, Wang Wenchang left Shanghai with the epidemic prevention pass issued by SIPG, and returned to Shanghai in accordance with the requirements of closed-loop management, all the way unimpeded.
This is due to the close cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta region, coordinating the resumption of work and production of key enterprises, and the stability and smoothness of the industrial chain.
In accordance with the spirit of the national teleconference on ensuring the smooth flow of logistics and promoting the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain, the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and key cities have recently set up special work classes to actively meet the supporting supply demands of key enterprises in Shanghai, and explore the establishment of key industrial chain supply chains in the Yangtze River Delta region. Its "white list" system for supporting supply enterprises in different places, smooth the cross-province and city transportation of key enterprises' core components and materials, and ensure the stable production of key enterprises and the stable operation of key industrial chains.
"The smooth delivery of products and materials is of great help to our company and about 200 upstream and downstream enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region," said Zhang Jiwei, director of the comprehensive operation management department of Lianbao (Hefei) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.
When Wang Wenchang returned to Shanghai, it was noon on the 21st.
"After I come back, I will do the nucleic acid test first, and then go to the security room of the company to get the lunch box prepared in advance by the canteen. The dishes are good, braised pork and lettuce, I love them all." During the speech, Wang Wenchang's professional pride naturally revealed, "I also contributed to ensuring the smooth flow of freight and the stability of the industrial chain."
