The "three chaos" must be dealt with in parallel with reducing logistics costs

CCTV's "Economy Half Hour" column recently broadcast "The traffic department to condone the team to allow a fine on the road." The phenomenon of highway fines disclosed by this program is deeply shocking.

Judging from the content reported on the program, many chaos are mainly manifested in chaos. In some localities, illegal vehicles are overloaded; some road officers illegally collect “black money” instead of super-rule by law; some local transportation departments condone penalties on the road—a fine for one of the “three chaos” of highways. It is evident.

Through this program, we clearly saw the dilemma that law-abiding transportation loses money, and illegal transportation makes money. In the case of "if it is not overloaded, there is no profit at all," the transportation industry often operates illegally, preferring to be fined and also overloading shipments. This situation provided conditions for the fines imposed by some local transportation departments. Although the state has repeatedly issued orders to emphasize the need to govern the “three chaos” of the highways, due to the heavy burden of the logistics industry and the “power self-interest” existing in the roads and government areas, the effect of governance is far from satisfactory.

Overloading is the illegal act of an overloaded person chosen for the benefit of consideration. Of course, the act of overloading must be ruled, but it is a proposition to rule according to law. The predicament behind the general overloading of the logistics industry is to seek breakthroughs. This is another proposition - otherwise, the attack on the "three chaos" based on the restriction of power alone cannot fundamentally break the public opinion.

The current predicament lies in the fact that it is also pale and powerless in terms of managing the "three chaos." Since 1994, the government has started to address the issue of "three chaos." Eighteen years later, as reported by CCTV, the chaos on the highway still appears. Highways have been referred to as "suction machines," making people sigh and making people resentful.

Judging from the circumstances of the fine, there are two possibilities for the so-called fines: one is that there should be no penalty, and the other is that the penalty is not punished according to law. At present, the fine chaos on the highway can be found in both cases. Some road officers use their power to open penalties and put the fines that should have been put into the treasury into the pockets of individuals or small groups. Such a chaotic fine is itself an illegal act.

Penalties are just a big problem in the “three chaos.” In addition, there are chaos cards and arbitrary charges. The "three chaos" problem is serious and it also raises the overall logistics cost. The root causes of the “three chaos” are the temptation of road tolls and the lack of supervision. For example, in some places, issuing fines in disguised form or in disguised form, law enforcement officers collecting fines without bills, illegal collection of parking fees and trailer fees, fines only for not eliminating illegal status, and arbitrary car-free inspections, etc., are the products of profiteering. .

It is not surprising that people are prone to the temptation of benefits. The problem is that there must be a force of supervision and control to help remove those inappropriate temptations. However, in many cases, self-interests in the governance of the “three chaos” issue are often self-serving, and the supervision and uselessness can be shared in the interests of unlawful toll collection on the roads, resulting in few people jeopardizing their own interests. The solidification of vested interests has blocked the hands of governance. This is precisely why the governance of highway “three chaos” has been difficult to achieve for many years.

As mentioned earlier, relying solely on the governance of the “three chaos” cannot completely solve the problem. The best way to make chaos fines impossible is to be fined without violating the law. This involves the logistics industry behind the general overload phenomenon. A relatively conservative statistical data shows that in 2010, 75% of China's total cargo transportation was undertaken by roads, and the toll crossing fees accounted for 20% to 30% of the transportation costs, including a large amount of arbitrary charges. Undoubtedly, this is a heavy burden on many logistics companies.

The role of the logistics industry in the entire national economy is beyond doubt. If the logistics company is overburdened, it will inevitably stifle economic vitality. The central government decided last year to reduce the tax burden on the logistics industry and reduce the cost of crossing the bridge. Its purpose is to relieve the logistics companies of traffic and tax burdens. This is the right direction. Logistics companies can only avoid the common situation of being forced to “illegal” overload if they have a reasonable burden. (As for those few enterprises who are greedy for illegal income, they still need to be punished according to law.)

Looking back, the current CCTV program pointed out a very serious problem, but the “three chaos” on the highway itself is nothing new. The people have been victimized by the “three chaos” on the highway. It has been a long time. It is also necessary to continue to use drugs for the sake of governance.
