I saw “drop-and-hook transport” before, but I didn’t understand what it meant. I only knew about semi-trailer transport and full trailer transport. After checking the information, I found out that this is what drop-and-hook transport is all about. Friends who don’t understand drop-and-hook transport, come and have a look.
Drop-and-hook transport is to use a tractor to tow a trailer loaded with goods to the destination, drop the trailer, and replace it with a new trailer to transport it to another destination. This mode of transportation has long become the mainstream mode of transportation in developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan. The cargo turnover of drop-and-hook transport accounts for 70-80% of the total cargo turnover. Compared with developed countries, my country’s drop-and-hook transport started late and developed slowly. Road freight is still mainly transported by ordinary single trucks. Drop-and-hook transport accounts for less than 1% of the cargo turnover road transport.
Advantages of drop-and-hook transport: Drop-and-hook transport can greatly improve the turnover efficiency of transport vehicles, reduce costs, and reduce exhaust emissions. It is of great significance to the construction of a resource-saving and environmentally friendly society. However, the management, maintenance, development environment and supporting policies of trailers in drop-and-hook transportation have become bottlenecks in the development of drop-and-hook transportation. How to ensure the rapid and healthy development of drop-and-hook transportation requires joint promotion between the government and logistics companies. This time, the national pilot project has greatly promoted the development of drop-and-hook transportation. After the pilot is completed, it will also help the transformation of station facilities and vehicle updates.
After reading the above introduction, do you have a general understanding of drop-and-hook transportation?
