The driver comes back to hometown in advance because of spring holiday

Seeing the Spring Festival is approaching, the shipment peak before the year has begun, from last year to this year's lack of cabin shortage cabinet shortage trailer is still continuing. But for the tow truck drivers, all the year round in the port, a year rarely with family reunion, so most of the drivers will choose to go home!
This again lets the shipping face the huge conundrum, soon will run out of drivers!

Beware of no tow truck drivers, land transport prices may rise
However, the domestic epidemic has become more serious in this period of time. Many regions across the country have issued the initiative of "not returning home unless necessary". So far, 31 provinces and cities have strengthened prevention efforts.

For the trailer drivers, all the year round in the port, a year is rare and family reunion, so most of the drivers will choose to go home! This creates another huge problem for shipping, which will soon run out of drivers.
Although there has been a shortage of drivers during the Spring Festival in the past, this year the epidemic is expected to intensify and may come earlier.

As of January 20, there were 5 high-risk areas and 60 medium-risk areas, and almost all returnees from medium-high risk areas needed nucleic acid testing + home isolation.
It is reported that previously due to the Hebei epidemic, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei have introduced high-speed control measures, in and out of Tianjin, Hebei province have inspection checkpoints, and Hebei A, B license plate vehicles are not allowed to enter and leave Tianjin.

Drivers with other licenses must undergo a nucleic acid test, and the test results are only valid for three days, and drivers have to spend at least eight hours a day waiting in traffic because of the round-trip tests.
Take Henan, a populous province, for example. During the Spring Festival, people from medium-high risk areas who enter Henan will be given a "red" health code and will be under a "centralized quarantine for 14 days +2 nucleic acid tests +1 serum test" at their own expense. If the isolation expires and the test results are normal, the isolation release form shall be issued, and the personal health code shall be adjusted to green code, and the normal and orderly flow shall be allowed. If the test result is abnormal, control measures shall be implemented according to relevant regulations.
Faced with such strict controls, drivers who choose to return to their hometowns to reunite with their families must start preparing ahead of time, and the need to quarantine drivers to and from their hometowns also lengthens the journey time.
Not enough drivers, the efficiency of export trailers will be seriously affected, and the price of land transportation will rise accordingly. During the previous Spring Festival, the price of land transportation would probably increase by 20%-50%. This year, it is likely to double or even several times as the sea freight.
