Freezing Rain Hits &Nbsp; Express Company Cargo Backlog "Disaster"

Yes

"Our network in the southwest region has announced that the cargo is stopped for three days."

Zhong Tong express, a management, told the first financial daily (micro-blog) Daily yesterday that due to the closure of expressways in Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi and other places, the company has already been closed.

"Heavy snow or freezing weather has a great impact on the express business. A few days ago, Yantai and Weihai had just experienced heavy snow, and the highway was closed. Today it has been resumed. Now it is the southwestern region. This will bring more and more backups to express delivery companies running the national network."

Zhong Tong express management told reporters, especially now that new year's day has just passed and close to the Spring Festival, the demand for delivery of goods is even more.

Heavy snow has always been the "worry" of national express companies such as rhyme express, STO, and express express, because this will seriously affect the delivery speed and affect the overall operation efficiency of the company.

It is worth noting that in 2008 the snowstorm caused many express companies to close down and take refuge.

What worries them today is that the ice in the southwest is still continuing.

According to the latest weather forecast, freezing temperatures in Guizhou, Hunan and other regions will continue for some time, especially around 7 days. Guizhou and other places will also usher in a new round of cooling and freezing rain.

The road was blocked, and many express companies chose air routes.

According to the reporter, as a result of prior backup of the freezing prevention contingency plan, airports and flights in Guizhou and other places have been returned to normal after a short time closure or delay. They can receive passenger and cargo flights. However, the cost of air pportation is more than twice that of the cost of land pportation. If delivery is to be delivered by air at this time, the courier cost will be much higher.

"We will communicate with our customers. If we need to deliver now, we can only increase the delivery cost. However, as the airport is not as smooth as usual, the airspace is also very tight. Some other 10 kilograms of large cargo and cosmetics ordered from e-commerce websites such as Taobao are not allowed to be delivered by air."

The management said, "of course, we are also trying our best to improve the delivery efficiency, such as letting lorries do not take the high speed and take the ordinary road, and the distribution center also speeds up the pfer in 24 hours.

The company headquarters constantly monitors all traffic information, and strengthens communication with the delivery sites.
