What happened to truck drivers with Hubei license plates during the Wuhan outbreak is being repeated for Hebei drivers. With the outbreak of the epidemic in Shijiazhuang and the emergency closure of the city, freight drivers with Hebei license plates have been discriminated against in the epidemic, and drivers have been trapped in their cars with nowhere to go.
According to mainland media reports, the Shijiazhuang municipal government announced on January 5 that on January 6, the entire area of Gao Cheng District was adjusted to a high-risk area, the city’s highways were closed, passenger stations were temporarily shut down, and passengers on trains and planes were required to leave the city with a negative nucleic acid certificate within 72 hours. The city of Shijiazhuang entered a state of “city closure”.
Shijiazhuang’s “closed city” trapped a large number of license plates for the Hebei freight drivers.
Mr. Zheng, a truck driver from Xingtai, Hebei Province, told the Epoch Times about his experience, “Now Shijiazhuang is closed to death, large and small cars are not allowed to enter, nor are you allowed to exit.”
At 6 a.m. on Jan. 6, Mr. Zheng transported a batch of tiles from Tianjin to a designated warehouse in Shijiazhuang. He had no idea about the city closure at the time, and the boss of the receiving party told him directly that the city was now closed and could not be unloaded.
He relied on bread and water in the car to maintain a few days, the 9th, and finally had no choice but to find their own people to unload the goods.
He told reporters that after unloading the goods on the 9th night, he walked to a friend’s house to borrow a night. But because the community closed management, and he is not a local, every day to be checked. In order not to give friends trouble, the 12th, he re-entered the car from a friend’s home.
“Although the car conditions are poor, but they do not mind their own dirty, buy instant noodles and snacks, but forgot to buy a bowl, can only take the instant noodle bag directly soak noodles to eat.” He said.
He told reporters that the fuel tank of his truck can be used for ten days, the car can only boil water, can not cook, so every day is the instant noodles with bread to fill the hunger.
“I do not want to (in the car) a day to stay, but now I can not get out, can only eat noodles, not in the car, in the car under the activity, which can not go. Oil and then burn a ten days eight days should not be a problem, and dare not say anything else.”
He said he has not been home for several months, his hometown of Xingtai epidemic is also very serious, his mother was in tears when he videoed with her.
“If it is true that in the car will also be sealed for ten or twenty days, I plan to find a place to live even if it is walking, can not always live in the car, food and drink into the problem.”
Large number of truck drivers trapped in the car
Mr. Zheng also revealed that, like him trapped (drivers) countless, too many too many. Not only Shijiazhuang, Shaanxi, Shanxi, or the northeast, are now particularly rejected Ji E with Ji A license plate.
“Shijiazhuang area, whether you are halfway, or inside the city, all the facades are not open. I returned to the car today (12th), I am all by myself heartbroken myself, you do not drive are not able to experience that mood, too difficult.”
With his friends doing freight four people are also trapped in Shijiazhuang, every day in the car to spend the day, they do not know how long they can hold on to.
“They all live in the car. Now you are not allowed to live in hotels, apartments. Unless you call the police and they take you there, you still have to do nucleic acid.” Zheng said.
Hengshui freight drivers also implicated
Another Hengshui freight driver, Mr. Qi, also experienced rejection and looked the other way.
Mr. Qi and his father were transporting auto parts to Anshan in Liaoning on Jan. 5. When they were refueling at the Tangshan service area, the staff saw that his license plate was JIT (closer to the infected area) and wouldn’t let them rest in the service area.
It was 11:30 in the middle of the night when they arrived in Liaoning, and they wanted to find a place to stay, but they were thrown out of several hotels, so they slept in the car that night.
“Everywhere you go, you are rejected, you can’t eat, and you can’t receive any restaurant.”
“I am Hengshui, not the infected area, but they resist the license plate of Hebei.” Mr. Qi said.
About a year ago, when the epidemic was serious in Hubei, a truck driver at the time could not return to E after transporting goods due to the outbreak, wandering around on the highway, trapped on the highway for seven days, alone and helpless. Now the outbreak of the epidemic in Hebei, truck drivers “highway wandering”, not given gas, food, into the store, accommodation things again.
Shijiazhuang’s “closed city” trapped a large number of license plates for the Hebei freight drivers.
