Why do truck drivers have to wait when the highway is closed in foggy days?

Many areas are shrouded in fog. The foggy weather not only brings inconvenience to the public, but also makes drivers who are used to high-speed trucks suffer greatly, because whenever the highway concentration is not up to standard, drivers either choose to bypass provincial or national roads or choose to wait for the fog to dissipate.

However, whenever the haze weather appears, we will see a long queue at the toll station of the expressway, and most people choose to wait for ordinary trucks on the expressway. Why do truck drivers not bypass provincial or national roads like cars, but are willing to wait? Bian Xiao can tell you the answer by talking to several old drivers who often encounter similar situations.

First of all, in terms of transportation time, the speed limit standard of provincial or national expressways is much lower than that of expressways. In addition, in order to ensure safety, drivers who affect smog weather cannot reach their usual driving speed. Instead of walking slowly in the smog, it is better to keep your energy "running" after the weather improves and save time.

Secondly, the height limit and width limit that can be seen everywhere on the road bring great inconvenience to the passage of trucks. Nowadays, due to the lack of supervision, height limit poles can be seen everywhere. These restrictions are just that electronic products such as navigation cannot be recognized in advance. In the face of a strange road, killing the "journey" halfway makes the truck driver confused at any time.

These restrictions not only greatly hinder the passage of trucks, but also bring great security risks to drivers who are not familiar with the road, especially in foggy weather, a little carelessness will have serious consequences. Of course, choosing the expressway can easily avoid these troubles.

Third, driving on the highway can avoid the inspection of the police uncle or the traffic law enforcement department. In order to ensure driving safety, the qualifications and standards of China's freight industry are very strict, but in the face of increasingly fierce competition, the profit of the transportation environment is meager, and many freight drivers are willing to take risks to challenge the bottom line of the rules, which also leads to trucks becoming the main object of daily inspection by law enforcement departments.

Police uncles and Zhichao stations, which often appear on provincial or national highways, seem to be the nightmare of freight drivers who want to be opportunistic. In order to reduce the risk of deduction or even forced unloading, they usually have to drive at high speed.

Fourthly, waiting seems to have become a habit for drivers who have been engaged in the freight industry all the year round. Ordinary car drivers may feel at a loss when waiting. After all, they rarely encounter this situation.

For truck drivers, they have to wait for a serious traffic jam on the expressway. They can't wait on the foggy highway, and the goods can't be unloaded in time. They are used to waiting. So most of them take cooking equipment and handle it at any time.

Of course, smog weather is a force majeure factor after all. In this case, even if the goods can't be transported on time, the owner will usually understand. After all, safety comes first, and the driver can't control this situation.

Finally, Bian Xiao reminded truck drivers that winter is the season with frequent smog. Usually, we should pay more attention to the weather, take countermeasures in advance when encountering similar weather, and pay attention to driving safety.

I am an ordinary cart driver! I answer your question: a large number of drivers are forced to do nothing! Because some roads or national highways prohibit trucks from driving together! You have to get on the highway to get around! And the danger of fog! Partial overload, overload. ! And the driver of Lalutong! As long as we can take the next step, those bidding loads will definitely not take the high speed. The freight is low.
