It is understood that the traffic police department requires transportation companies to strictly follow the “Road Vehicle Outline Dimensions, Axle Load and Mass Limits” (GB1589-2004) standard requirements, the length of the whole vehicle transport vehicle shall not exceed 16.5 meters, the width shall not exceed 2.5 meters, and the height shall not exceed 4 meters. The vehicles under their jurisdiction shall be self-checked (the length of the vehicle with a fully enclosed cargo compartment can be very long and not exceed 20 meters). Vehicles that do not meet the standards shall be rectified immediately, otherwise they will not be allowed to operate.
- Citizens found that most commercial vehicle transport vehicles have been modified
According to employees working in automobile processing plants, the car transport vehicles that transport commercial vehicles are now all super-long modified vehicles. The degree of modification of each vehicle is different. Generally, if there is no accident, the company will not restrict such modified car transport vehicles. After all, it is a win-win situation. However, for this phenomenon, truck drivers will also say that although the profit has increased, the risk factor has also increased. - Reporter’s investigation: Modified cars make more money
According to the Car Transporter driver, cars are transported to all parts of the country. If the distance is short, it can save some expenses. If the distance is long, the expenses will be greater. In order to obtain more profits, they can only take risks and modify the vehicle to become an extra-long modified car. The head office calculates the mileage of each vehicle with him. In order to make more money, he changed the original 13-meter-long truck to more than 30 meters long under the introduction of a friend. The load capacity of 6 commercial vehicles can load 12 commercial vehicles. For the same distance, loading 12 vehicles will definitely make more money than 6. - Drivers broke the news: Driving a “big tent” is very dangerous
According to the truck driver, they collectively call the modified and lengthened trucks “big tents”, the extra-long modified cars in the article. In fact, they are not willing to drive such a car. The length of a normal vehicle is about 10 to 20 meters, but the body of the modified truck can reach more than 30 meters, so that the vehicle is very slow when turning. - Expensive vehicle modification
According to a driver from a logistics company who has done vehicle modification, the vehicle body generally needs to be welded and processed with multiple processes to make the entire body look more natural. At the same time, a tarpaulin will be added to the top to cover the goods transported in the vehicle. Some modified vehicles will install new brake systems for the vehicles because the tonnage of loading has increased after modification, which is because they are worried about accidents. The vehicle modification costs 4,000 yuan per meter, and a commercial vehicle is generally 5 meters long. The modification cost of such a vehicle that has been modified in many places is more than tens of thousands of yuan. - Frequent fines during transportation
This type of modified car transporter generally dare not go during the day and can only be transported at night because they are worried that the traffic police will conduct a thorough investigation. According to a driver who modified the vehicle, the price of transporting commercial vehicles is calculated according to the number and tonnage of the vehicle, and there is also the issue of taxes and fees. A long-distance transportation takes several days, so they want to transport more commercial vehicles.
During the transportation process, according to the driver of the car transporter, once the vehicle is found to be modified in violation of regulations and overloaded, the traffic police department, transportation management department and road administration department will impose penalties. Under normal circumstances, an over-long modified vehicle will be fined at least 5,000 yuan, and many times a fine of 20,000 yuan will be imposed.
