Chapter 62 Dispatching a Car
Li Weidong officially started his career as a dispatcher.
The dispatchers of the freight department are divided into two types: on-site dispatchers and plan dispatchers.
On-site dispatchers need to work on the front line of freight, do some on-site management work, such as arranging the loading and unloading of vehicles, and sometimes need to travel with vehicles, which is equivalent to the on-site command of drivers.
The planning dispatcher is responsible for accepting and summarizing the business. According to the actual business situation, dispatching vehicles, planning transportation routes, etc., is the brain of the entire transportation system.
Under normal circumstances, new dispatchers start from on-site dispatching, and only after they are familiar with the situation of vehicles, routes, and various goods can they go to plan dispatching.
However, Li Weidong's performance in the exam has exceeded that of an ordinary dispatcher. Zhao Guodong also intends to cultivate Li Weidong, so he directly makes Li Weidong the planning dispatcher, without having to squat in the freight yard or travel with the driver.
Li Weidong did not disappoint Zhao Guodong. He quickly showed his ability, and his business level was only better than those of the old dispatchers. After a few days of adaptation, Li Weidong was able to take charge on his own.
In the 1980s, trucking was a very lucrative industry. Oil was cheap at the time, gasoline was a dime a liter, and prices barely rose throughout the 1980s. Vehicles are not forcibly scrapped, as long as they can still move, they can drive on the road to make money.
The freight is also uniformly regulated by the state. In the mid-1980s, the freight per ton of goods per kilometer was 16.5 cents. Later, the state raised the standard of road maintenance fees and began to collect freight surcharges. The freight per ton of goods per kilometer Raised to eighteen cents.
Taking Lao Jiefang as an example, he can run 400 kilometers a day with hard work. According to the freight rate of 1.65 cents per ton-kilometer, one ton of goods costs 66 yuan.
The old Jiefang has a load of 4 tons, but for transportation, in order to pull more goods, he will definitely add a 4.5-ton full-trailer, a total of 8.5 tons, and this car can earn 561 yuan in freight a day. If you overload it a little more, you will earn more.
Excluding gas money, loading and unloading time, driver cost, dispatch cost, no-load rate, etc., an old Jiefang can earn 8,000 to 10,000 yuan per month.
This is just the old Jiefang with the least load. Those more advanced trucks run faster, carry more load and earn more.
There are more than 200 trucks of various types in the freight department, which can create a profit of 2 million yuan for the transportation company every month!
Such huge profits are even more exaggerated than the tobacco industry of later generations. However, as a state-owned enterprise, no matter how much money it makes, most of the profits must be turned over to the state.
In 1983, the state began to implement the reform of profit to tax, and 55% of the profit was directly handed over to the State Taxation Bureau as corporate income tax. , the enterprise can get 30% of the profit, and this 30% also includes the production and development fund of the enterprise, the collective welfare fund and bonus of the employees and so on. Basically, the country has the big head, the enterprise has the middle head, and the individual has the small head.
With the ability of Qinghe Transportation Company to make money, even if it only takes a middle head, it is a lot of money.
Otherwise, Zhu Shicong would not have been able to sell 500 million state-owned assets in the early 1990s. If the transportation company does not make money, it will not be able to save 500 million fortune.
Therefore, Li Weidong, as the dispatcher of the freight department, dispatched a convoy casually, which is a business of several thousand and tens of thousands of yuan.
...
During lunch time, Li Weidong walked to the window and handed the lunch box to the chef. The chef didn't say a word, and directly filled Li Weidong with a tablespoon of fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts.
Li Weidong glanced at it, the shredded pork was more fat and less thin, and it was shiny, and it looked very appetizing. Just as Li Weidong was about to take back the lunch box, the chef gave Li Weidong another half a spoon.
Master, why do you give so much today! Have a wedding at home? Li Weidong said with a smile.
The chef rolled his eyes at Li Weidong and said, Zengling County has a great harvest of garlic sprouts, so I bought more while they were cheap. As a result, the temperature has suddenly warmed up in the past two days. The garlic sprouts can't be put away, and they are easy to rot, so I quickly made them and eaten them.
So it is. Li Weidong nodded, took the box of fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts, and left the rice-selling window thoughtfully.
After lunch, Li Weidong returned to the dispatch room and began to check the freight orders received in the last week.
After careful inspection, Li Weidong frowned: It's all here, and there is no order from Zengling County, something big is going to happen!
Thinking of this, Li Weidong's calendar on the table turned page by page, and finally drew a big circle at the position of May 29.
May 29th is the tenth day of the lunar calendar. It happens to be the day of the festival in the countryside. If I remember correctly, it is this day! Unfortunately, I'm just an ordinary dispatcher with limited ability!
Li Weidong frowned and fell into thinking.
...
May 29.
In the Nanshan parking lot of the transportation company, a simple and honest man with the appearance of a worker stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Chen Lin's hand, and said with a smile: Chen Dispatching, this batch of goods has been lined up for a week in our factory, why don't you help? I don't know how long to wait.
On-site dispatcher Chen Lin kicked the cigarette into his pocket and said, Old Zhao, don't worry, I have already greeted the dispatching department, and the dispatching department has also arranged a car. It is estimated that it will be another half an hour. The car is here.
That... uh... Lao Zhao suddenly vomited pictures.
Old Zhao, if you have something to say, why do you hesitate. Chen Lin said.
Chen Dispatching, that's what you said an hour ago. Lao Zhao said cautiously.
It's been an hour? The car hasn't come yet? Chen Lin suddenly looked embarrassed: Lao Zhao, wait, I'll call the dispatch department and ask what's going on.
As Chen Lin said, he trotted all the way to the office in the parking lot and called the dispatch department.
Hey, dispatching department, I'm Chen Lin. I'm at the Nanshan parking lot. Why haven't the five cars from the cable factory arrived? It's been an hour, and I have to rush to load the goods!
What? No car for the time being? How is that possible? Didn't you just come back from Dongdao last night with ten cars? They were all sent to Zengling County? They were just sent out!
How can you send the car out? I called in the morning. The cable factory asked for five cars. Everyone has been waiting for a week. Who sent the car to Zengling?
Li Weidong? Is that the new Li Weidong? Why did he send the car I want to Zengling!
Yes, I know that he is planning and dispatching. How to dispatch the car is up to him, but it can't be fooled! Our on-site dispatch is raised by the stepmother? Even five cars will not come!
Chen Lin complained to the phone, but it didn't help. After all, the car had already been dispatched.
Chen Lin walked out of the office with a livid face, and Lao Zhao immediately came up and asked eagerly, Chen dispatcher, how is it? When will the car come?
Hey! Chen Lin sighed: The car is temporarily gone.
No car? Zhao Lao suddenly looked disappointed.
Looking at Lao Zhao's lost appearance, Chen Lin clenched his fists, Lao Zhao, wait, I'll go back to the company now and get the car back for you!
