Two-axle blue brand trucks can get on the expressway with 18 tons. Don’t be too happy.

"Can the blue card overload get on the expressway" and "The influence of expressway toll collection by axle" are the two hottest topics recently. Why card friends are so concerned about this topic is mainly because it directly affects the core interests of card friends-expressway toll and expressway right.
On December 17, 2019, the Ministry of Communications issued a document that two-axle blue brand trucks can get on the high speed within 18 tons, which is good news for card friends.
However, it is also mentioned in the notice that the relevant departments are studying and formulating a special treatment plan for two-axle trucks. Before the relevant departments uniformly deploy the special treatment, both axles can pass through the expressway within 18 tons, indicating that the current policy is only a transitional plan, and the country still has countermeasures. How to change the future policy is inconclusive.

In fact, before the Ministry of Communications issued a document on December 17th, many provinces had announced the provincial highway traffic policies. Most provinces announced that two-axle trucks could get on the highway within 18 tons, such as Guangxi and Jiangxi, but some provinces strictly implemented the blue card overweight persuasion policy, such as Beijing. This inter-regional policy is bound to create new contradictions.
What if the card friends are halfway through the inter-provincial transportation and weigh? Therefore, the Ministry of Communications issued a unified highway entrance weighing inspection policy before this problem was expanded, and two-axle trucks can get on the highway within 18 tons.
Perhaps this is the compromise and helplessness of the country to the current complicated transportation environment of two-axle trucks, or the care for truck drivers. I believe both, but I also believe that it is only the calm before the storm, and the follow-up policy still needs to solve the problem of overload and overrun.


For card friends, there are two main effects of checking the entrance of high-speed traffic and charging by axis. One is the right of way of high-speed traffic, and the other is the difference of high-speed traffic fees. I think the first effect is greater for card friends.
China’s expressways are very developed, and the high-speed traffic efficiency is high. Most blue light trucks will have the demand for high-speed traffic. Some of them get on the expressway frequently, and some occasionally get on the expressway. If the policy of high-speed weighing and persuasion is strictly implemented, the blue light trucks will be prohibited from driving on the expressway, which will have little impact on the card friends who occasionally got on the expressway.
But it has a great influence on the card friends who often get on the high speed. How can a blue truck not be overloaded? It is difficult to support the operating cost without overloading the freight, but it is time-consuming and laborious to take the national highway or provincial highway, and the transportation efficiency drops greatly, making it difficult to balance the income and expenditure.
In fact, it is very simple to understand the highway toll standard. The highway toll of Class I vehicles is generally around 0.5 yuan/km, and that of Class II vehicles is generally around 1 yuan/km. The highway toll of Class II vehicles is twice that of Class I vehicles. Compared with the old charging standard, the blue-brand overloaded vehicles charge more, about twice as much, which has a certain impact on operating costs.

As can be seen from the notice of the Ministry of Communications, the policy of super-checking at high-speed entrances is extremely variable, and when and how it will change can only be guessed at present.
Everyone should know the fact that it doesn’t mean that the blue card overload is legal for two-axle trucks to be able to go up at high speed within 18 tons. This policy is only a transitional stage to promote the high-speed traffic standard.
The basis for judging whether the vehicle is illegally overloaded is "whether the total mass of the vehicle exceeds the total mass indicated on the driving license". Road administration and traffic police can still judge whether the vehicle is illegally overloaded through the driving license, which is consistent with the policies implemented by national or provincial roads.

The living environment of truck industry, especially truck drivers, is poor, and truck drivers are considered as vulnerable groups in society. At present, the country allows two-axle trucks to get on the expressway within 18 tons.
On the one hand, the country will also consider the impact on truck drivers when considering the implementation of policies. On the other hand, trucks, as the main tool of cargo transportation, will directly affect the speed of national economic development. At present, the country is only slowing down the pace of policy implementation, and it is expected that more easily implemented and more complete policies will be introduced in the future to solve the problem of overload and overrun.
In the long run, compliance with the law is definitely the general trend of social development. Since the overload control in 921, in recent years, the state has made great efforts to rectify the phenomenon of overload and overrun. Although the overload and overrun of light trucks are still common, the problem of overload and overrun has been well managed. Next, the state will still rectify the problem of overload and overrun, and the goal will be to lock in light truck models.
Therefore, the phenomenon of overload and overrun will definitely be less and less. In the end, the transportation of goods will be in compliance with the law, the state management will be stricter, and the awareness of card friends will change.
In fact, from a technical point of view, it is feasible to check the overload at the high-speed entrance. You only need to access the vehicle information to the high-speed toll collection system, and you can immediately judge whether the vehicle is overloaded according to the weighing results. If you don’t do this, you must consider that millions of light trucks can’t get on the high speed, which will inevitably lead to great waste and card friends will also lose a lot.

Therefore, it is predicted that the country will strictly control the licensing process. Only by controlling the self-weight of vehicles, the phenomenon of overloading will naturally be less when vehicles cannot be overloaded. When the old models with heavy loads are retired, the problem of overloading will naturally be solved.
China’s road level has developed rapidly, but the standard of the total weight of 4.5 tons of blue brand trucks was designed based on the previous road conditions. Therefore, after the "big ton and small standard" incident on May 21, some people made a prediction that the total weight of blue brand trucks would be increased to 6 tons or 7.5 tons.
Improving the total mass of vehicles can eliminate part of the overload phenomenon, and it is expected that the state will strictly implement the policies and measures of overload checking to solve the problem of overload and overrun.
In fact, the country is fully capable of checking according to law. If the previous policy of "one overload and four penalties" is strictly implemented, it is believed that the problem of overload and overrun will be solved soon. Although it is not strictly implemented, it has a technical foundation.
Although card friends occasionally complain and question the national policy, the country definitely hopes that the society will become better and better. The current transportation environment is really unhealthy, and vicious competition and overload transportation lead to low transportation costs (in recent years, the logistics industry has developed rapidly, but the transportation costs continue to be low).
However, low transportation costs have to be overloaded to survive, which has fallen into a vicious circle. Only when everyone transports according to the law and standards can a virtuous circle of transportation environment be established and truck drivers can make lasting profits.
The above are some personal opinions. If card friends have other ideas, please leave a message for discussion. (Text/KajiaNo.: Beautiful weather)
