2. Recent hot events and law enforcement trends

2.Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Joint Law Enforcement:A new dynamic weighing system will be launched on June 1, with an error rate of less than 5% and an overload identification accuracy rate of 98%.
3.Guangdong pilots "credit punishment":Overloading more than 3 times will be included in the transport untrustworthy list, which will affect credit rights such as loans and bidding.
3. Hazards of overweight and scientific loading suggestions
| Hazard type | Specific performance | Precautions |
|---|---|---|
| traffic safety | Braking distance extended by 300%-500% | Install vehicle weighing alarm system |
| road damage | Overweight truck = 30,000 standard axle loads | Choose a compliant transportation route |
| legal risks | Major accidents can lead to criminal liability | Regularly check the validity of vehicle documents |
4. Drivers’ Rights Protection Precautions
1.Handling of law enforcement objections:Calibration certificate can be requested (dynamic weighing equipment needs to be tested every 6 months)
2.Fine payment process:Payment must be made within 15 days through the "Traffic Management 12123" APP or bank counter. Overdue fees will be charged a daily 3% late payment fee.
3.Administrative review:If you are dissatisfied with the punishment, you may apply for reconsideration to the next higher level transportation department within 60 days.
5. Industry development trends
According to data from the Ministry of Transport, the national overloading rate in Q1 2024 has dropped to 2.3%, a 41% decrease from the same period last year. With the popularization of intelligent monitoring technology and the deepening of the "one-excession and four-penalty" system (penalizing vehicle owners, drivers, cargo owners, and companies), it is expected that the "100-ton king" phenomenon will be basically eliminated in the next three years.
Freight practitioners should pay attention to policy changes in a timely manner and adapt to regulatory requirements by optimizing loading plans and upgrading transportation equipment to achieve a win-win situation of compliance operations and economic benefits.
