What is the freight cost for a 9.6-meter high-barrier truck?
2 Answers
This depends on the weight of the cargo loaded onto the truck and the distance traveled. Below are the relevant details: 1. Load regulations for a 9.6-meter truck: The total weight for a two-axle truck should not exceed 18 tons, and a two-axle 9.6-meter truck typically weighs about 8 tons, resulting in a load capacity of 10 tons (usually referring to a single-axle truck). For a three-axle truck, the total weight should not exceed 25 tons, and a three-axle 9.6-meter truck typically weighs about 11 tons, resulting in a load capacity of 14 tons (usually referring to a front-four-rear-four truck). For a four-axle truck, the total weight should not exceed 31 tons, and a four-axle 9.6-meter truck typically weighs about 13 tons, resulting in a load capacity of 18 tons (usually referring to a front-four-rear-eight truck). 2. Driving precautions for trucks: 1. When turning, adjust the steering in advance based on the curve. For sharp turns, take an appropriate angle and fully account for the inner wheel difference, meaning take a wider turn. On continuous curves, if conditions permit, try to take a clear turn to reduce the impact of centrifugal force.
Hey bro, I've been driving a 9.6-meter high-barrier truck for seven or eight years, and the freight rates are really not something that can be explained in a single sentence. The most crucial factor is where you're hauling the goods—200 kilometers and 2,000 kilometers are completely different prices. For this trip from Guangzhou to Zhengzhou, about 1,200 kilometers, the freight rate usually fluctuates between 6,500 and 8,500. Fuel costs are the biggest expense now; at 7.5 yuan per liter, just the fuel alone costs around 2,300. Toll fees are even harsher—taking the highway can cost over 1,500, while using national roads saves some money but wastes time. Other factors like how urgent the cargo is, whether it's light or heavy, or if you need to wait for loading also add to the cost. Nowadays, platform commissions are hefty, and if you can net around 5,500, that's considered pretty good. When negotiating freight rates, don’t just look at the total price—make sure to include details like detention fees, loading/unloading waiting fees, and other specifics in the contract.
