Crushed him, rather than this 2,000 yuan fine, rather than because of disappointment and cold heart, he said, as a truck driver for ten years, did not earn any money, but instead fell ill.
The 51-year-old truck driver Jin Deqiang drank pesticide and committed suicide.
The cause was an unreasonable fine, Beidou “dropped”, to be fined 2,000 yuan.
He left a suicide note, very clearly expressed their claims: not gambling, nor a momentary thought.
“I use my death to exchange (wake) the leadership of the importance of this matter. “
After drinking the pesticide, Jin Deqiang also recorded a selfie video, sent in the group of cardholders:.
“Look I drank the medicine, ten minutes no one cared, no one asked.”
The video was recorded in the aisle of the overrun station, with law enforcement officers walking by in front of him, but, at the time, the law enforcement officers did not notice his abnormality.
2000 yuan fine, is the last straw that crushed him?
On April 5, Jin Deqiang drove the truck from Tangshan to Langfang delivery.
Not long after his departure, he was stopped by law enforcement officers at the super station in the Fengrun District of Tangshan City and checked at the station.
Unexpectedly, the law enforcement officers did not find out the overload, but found out Jin Deqiang’s car positioning system offline, to be fined 2,000 yuan.
According to Jin Deqiang’s brother later said, since January, Jin Deqiang did not receive any work, and drivers pulling goods a day to earn a 300-400 yuan, the penalty, equivalent to this trip to do the work for nothing, but also to pay back.
Jin Deqiang a time difficult to accept: “Beidou dropped, I a driver how to know it? “
Monitoring shows that after coming out of the super station, he sat in the car for half an hour, then got off and went to the pesticide and fertilizer purchase point and bought a bottle of pesticide.
Perhaps still want to give themselves another chance, after buying drugs, Jin Deqiang found law enforcement officers again, trying to communicate: can you take care of it.
Law enforcement officers said: can not take care of, this is the minimum line.
The last hope was gone. Jin Deqiang took out the pesticide in his right hand pocket and drank it all in one go.
17 minutes later, Jin Deqiang, who had vomiting symptoms, was taken to the hospital by ambulance. At 23:00 p.m., resuscitation failed to die.
Jin Deqiang’s WeChat name, called “peace for life”.
This is perhaps the biggest expectation of every truck driver and their families.
What I didn’t expect was that Jin Deqiang, who had been driving a truck safely for ten years, eventually collapsed in the overrun station.
The pesticide Jin Deqiang chose was paraquat, which could not be saved. The family also has a 76-year-old mother, wife and three children, the youngest daughter is only 11 years old.
The family checked his account after the fact and found only 6,000 dollars in it.
What crushed him was not so much the $2,000 fine, but rather because of disappointment and heartbreak, he said to himself, as a truck driver for ten years, did not earn any money, but instead fell ill.
In the suicide note, Jin Deqiang instructed his son: take care of your sister. Don’t learn from me, the nest for life.
It’s not Beidou that’s offline, it’s the conscience of the service provider
Two days later, the keyword “Beidou dropped” became a hot search term.
The “Beidou dropped” here, although it is called “Beidou The “Beidou dropout” here is actually a signal receiver for the Beidou satellite, although it is called “Beidou”. The market for such terminal equipment is open.
Netizens engaged in the work of Beidou equipment service providers said that, according to the regulations, from 2013 onwards, all heavy-duty trucks out of the field need to be installed in line with the standard satellite positioning terminal, the purpose is to monitor the trajectory of large trucks to prevent speeding and fatigue driving.
As we all know, speeding and fatigue driving of heavy trucks are extremely harmful. The use of travel positioning system to prevent the two situations, the driver and pedestrian responsibility, the original intention is not wrong.
But in the actual implementation process, there are various problems.
First of all, it is costly and complicated.
Eight years after the policy of installing satellite positioning on heavy-duty trucks, the price of terminal equipment still does not have a unified statement.
According to the experience of netizens, the purchase and installation cost of terminal equipment ranges from 1500-3200, and another service fee of 300-1000 yuan is paid every year.
A truck driver in Henan posted online that he not only had to spend 2,800 yuan to update the original positioning system on his car, but also had to spend 140 yuan on training fees to learn to use the system.
The installation fee, training fee, service fee …… costs more and more. If you spend this money can really guarantee the safety to also okay.
What’s worse is that some of these terminals don’t work well.
The Office of the Ministry of Transport announced last year the results of a sample inspection, the BeiDou navigation vehicle terminal pass rate of only 70.4%.
Behind this unqualified 30%, there are probably many drivers like Jin Deqiang, who can only grit their teeth and pull more goods and run longer cars in the face of the sudden drop of terminals and constant drift of positioning, and receive fines that are difficult to identify.
Microblogging a user said he works in a fleet, positioning terminal often wrong. “roadside parking positioning are floating, are counted in the driving time”. Every year, the “wrongly accused” of fines of tens of thousands of yuan. Some of them can appeal upward, part of the communication can be resolved, the rest can only “admit”.
It is reasonable to say that the positioning system terminal service providers are required to get the qualification issued by the traffic department. According to informed sources, such qualifications are very demanding, requiring a variety of certificates to do the foundation, a full set of certificates and qualifications down, the cost in hundreds of thousands of yuan.
These certificates, qualifications, are to ensure that the terminal service providers of corporate scale and professionalism.
But the road is one foot high, the devil is one foot high. Many small businesses, simply by relying on the qualifications of other companies involved in the industry. This type of business often service and technology are not in place.
Once again focus on the Jin Deqiang incident itself, there are many problems with the way it was handled.
According to the “Road Transport Vehicle Dynamic Supervision and Management Measures”, there are two penalties for malfunctioning satellite positioning devices.
- using a vehicle with a faulty satellite positioning device to engage in business activities, need to order correction, refuses to correct, a fine of 800 yuan.
- If the positioning system is artificially and maliciously shut down and delete data, the fine is 2,000-5,000 yuan.
Tangshan from Jindeqiang departure, to detect the dropped line of Fengrun super station, the distance is only 2, 30 kilometers, it is not enough to fatigue driving, law enforcement officers, but where the actual situation from the judgment, the request to connect on it.
Even if ordered not to change, the amount of that fine is also very questionable.
In the case of Jin Deqiang, we do not know whether the positioning system is artificially closed.
If the law enforcement officers could have more patience and empathy when Jin Deqiang tried to communicate, perhaps things would not have ended up like this today, a painful lesson.
“Stricter management methods, but also difficult to eliminate the simple and rough style. “
Jin Deqiang crushed, not 2000 yuan, but simple and brutal law enforcement, and can not see the hope of life.
Want to make money, it is open life
In fact, in addition to news reports of accidents, and tired and suffering truck drivers have been out of focus in the public opinion and the camera.
Jin Deqiang said he wanted to use his own death for “the majority of truck drivers to say a word”.
What is the concept of the majority here? According to statistics, there are about 30 million truck drivers in China, taking up 76% of China’s total transportation.
30 million drivers, also known as “nomads on the road”. What they do, in fact, is a hard labor occupation: doing the bottom of the work, and the time race, with life and safety in exchange for pay, to maintain the livelihood of the entire family.
“Do this work you if the eight-hour system, a month even meal money can not earn. “This is the most real feeling of truck drivers.
Many drivers’ cars are bought with their own loans, which is their main productivity tool. In order to repay the monthly payment of 10,000, in order to provide parents with medical care and children to school, they can only be on this lonely road, the extreme compression of their own and the limits of the vehicle.
In order to deliver on time and not be deducted, a car running 40,000 kilometers a month, truck drivers often work 20 hours rest 4 hours, the car simply dare not stop, they are really sleepy shrink into the rear cabin barely sleep, the steering wheel to sit on the passenger side of the wife.
Overloading is a common occurrence. Contractors and shippers in order to save costs, can use a car to pull the whole will never hire two, and even require “must be overloaded”; and the driver in order to make more money will also choose Overload, can pull 2 tons added to 6, 7 tons, can pull 50 tons of dawning, pull a hundred tons ……
Slow braking of large cars, overloading of cargo bins, driver fatigue, all this haste will lead to the price of blood.
The high-speed car collision is not an uncommon thing, 3 years ago shocked the country in the “11-19” accident caused by just a small bread rear-end, considered only with compensation 1000 small accident, but the final result was a tragic 9 dead and 9 injured.
The vehicle was like a flattened beetle, only the iron skin of the door was left exposed, the driver was bloody, like being run over by a “human rolling pin”, but the back of the Large hanging boxes are almost intact.
According to the survivor, Master Liu said, imported cars are slightly better quality than domestic cars, at least when the accident will first protect people. But see the price of hundreds of thousands of yuan higher, and then look at their hands to fill the loan, many people had to withdraw their envious eyes.
Like the “ordinary world”, belonging to the truck driver “a turn of the wheel, to a governor are not doing” the times have passed.
Twenty-five years ago, they drove 8 to 10 hours to earn 120 yuan, several times higher than the usual workers’ wages, but now they need to drive more than 16 hours to barely earn 8000 a month.
Freight in the continuous downward adjustment, price pressure to destroy the market more and more people, vicious competition leads to increasingly thin profits, retail households more difficult to receive a single, the money in hand less and less, the vehicle more and more sinking, again a vicious circle.
A car to support a family, but also crushed a person.
Violation of the penalty as a matter of course, suffer the bitter consequences without saying much. However, the “recruitment of high-tech truck drivers” skin, every drop is the blood and sweat of the bottom laborers.
No life, hard to survive
In the Internet people can still complain about the 996 revolt, they have been in the cab of 007 in obscurity, most of them are not even living a normal life, a car cab, has been the main space for their daily activities.
To eat, they do not go to the highway toll station.
Who knows, in the toll booth can eat a bowl of hot meal both to rest and to replenish physical strength, but even if not heartbroken 35 yuan box lunch money, but also to consider the time enough to use, car thieves will not take the parts directly off to take away. Weighing the pros and cons, the best choice is to eat a dry cake in the car, or soak a bowl of noodles with cold water.
Sleeping, “motel” this kind of place is still too far from ordinary people.
The cockpit of the truck five or six square meters, the front is the seat, the back has put a simple bed of less than a meter, this is where they rest, in the sleepy time, here is their head down and sleep in a simple bed.
This group of people who work hard for life, do not care about food, do not care about sleep, only care about saving some more money, but even so there is always an unexpected expense.
Specially steal the truck driver’s oil “oil rats” is a lot of people’s heart hate.
When running a car soon, many people have suffered: their own sleep at the toll booth, or a nap in the bed, even if only a few hours, wake up when the oil in the compartment has been all stolen, the oil thieves also slipped away without a trace.
Two carriages, 700 liters of diesel, which thousands of dollars of losses, running a long-distance hard labor money, all folded in this afternoon, want to cry.
“I am very tired, but I can not sleep, there is still oil in the tank, was stolen this long-distance run again for nothing. “
Some drivers have no choice but to sleep, there are people who will directly hit the floor on the roadside, with the body to protect the tank: to steal oil, first from my body to step over.
Protection money” is never the secret of the industry, to the black traffic police to pay money, you overloaded car to go; security guards and thieves collusion, you need to spend money to fight the relationship. In order not to let the goods are detained, always send high tobacco and alcohol; in order not to offend the unloaders, to pay more money to take care of ……
Even this time something happened to the Beidou satellite positioning recorder, the year also because of the mandatory installation of a lot of fuss.
The installation of high-tech products to help the driver community to regulate driving safety is naturally good, but the cost of installation has always been a mystery. Not only do you need to pay for it, but also the fees vary from place to place, some places drivers need to pay three or four thousand, some are seven or eight hundred, we have to pay a service fee every year.
Worse, some navigation product quality varies, the stability is not good, the device itself often drops the problem, if you abandoned or use free GPS, that does not issue or validate the road transport certificate.
The “card users” said that some places have taken the recorder as a daily punishment tool! If it is really for the card friendly, why not arrange some professional maintenance personnel in the super station?
Said good “voluntary”, but there is no real voluntary; specification of the original intention is good, the deviation of the landing can only be their own bear.
Dependent on society, but not respected by society. For the speeding truck drivers on every road, no matter where the car travels, they are vulnerable foreigners.
Behind the 30 million truck drivers, there are about 25 million truck wives. They either choose to stay at home, or heartbroken husband, chose to follow the car together.
The women on the passenger side never sleep well, their husbands drive, they chat with them, responsible for keeping them awake, and when their husbands are too sleepy, they can also hold the steering wheel for contemporary driving, so they can get a short rest.
They share the loneliness of the journey and the pain of sitting for a long time, they eat the same simple food as their husbands, prevent the oil thieves, go to the toilet in the grove, everything is still durable, except when the physiological period, a long time without changing the sanitary pants will make people allergic.
Sometimes, they can be competent in some of the work that their husbands are not good at, in the face of brutal traffic police and pickets, more affable women to mediate for their husbands, easy to solve the problem.
In order to improve life, some of the card wife will be the vegetable board, gas cans, pots and pans into the cabin, in the two driving seat on the gap between the chopping vegetables to prepare vegetables and dumplings, a rare break to stop the car to open fire to cook.
Even in the humble environment of the roadside wind meal, this is a rare hot top full of a good meal, love and warmth to fill a full body of energy after the husbands can still run a few hundred kilometers.
Life is always on the road.
For truck drivers, hardship seems to be the color of life, under the pain and suffering is common, even the most unworthy of life in pieces, because every bottom laborers are carrying the weight forward.
However, in addition to celebrating the burden, it is more important for someone to see their plight.
The pressure of industrial change cannot be borne by their shoulders alone, and no matter what kind of manual laborers are involved, it is not a healthy industrial market at the cost of exploiting their bodies.
Problems that could have been properly solved should not come at the cost of blood.
Just like the 2,000 pieces of suicide because of the gold master, what he wanted, perhaps just a way out.
