Chapter 62: Dispatching a Car

Li Weidong officially started his career as a dispatcher.

The dispatchers in the freight department are divided into two types: on-site dispatchers and planning dispatchers.

On-site dispatchers need to work on the front line of freight and do some on-site management work, such as arranging the loading and unloading of vehicles. Sometimes they also need to travel with the vehicles, which is equivalent to on-site command of the drivers.

The planning dispatcher is responsible for accepting and summarizing the business. According to the actual business situation, dispatching vehicles, planning transportation routes, etc., he is the brain of the entire transportation system.

Under normal circumstances, newly promoted dispatchers start from on-site dispatching. After becoming familiar with vehicles, routes, and various goods, they can become planning dispatchers.

However, Li Weidong's performance during the exam has exceeded that of ordinary dispatchers. Zhao Guodong also intended to cultivate Li Weidong, so he directly let Li Weidong be the scheduler, without having to squat in the cargo yard or travel with the driver.

Li Weidong did not disappoint Zhao Guodong. He quickly demonstrated his abilities and his professional level was just as good as those of the old dispatchers. After a few days of adaptation, Li Weidong was able to take charge of his own business.

In the 1980s, trucking was a very profitable industry. Oil prices were very cheap at that time. Gasoline cost a dime a liter. There was almost no price increase throughout the 1980s. Vehicles were not forced to be scrapped. As long as they could still move, they could be driven on the road.

Goods make money.

Freight rates are also uniformly stipulated by the state. In the mid-1980s, the freight rate per ton of goods per kilometer was 16.5 cents. Later, the country raised the standard of road maintenance fees and began to levy freight surcharges. The freight rate per ton of goods per kilometer

It was raised to 18 cents.

Taking Lao Jiefang as an example, I can run 400 kilometers a day. According to the freight per ton-kilometer of 16.5 cents, the freight per ton is 66 yuan.

The old Jiefang has a load capacity of 4 tons, but those engaged in transportation will definitely add a 4.5-ton full trailer in order to haul more goods. The total is 8.5 tons. This vehicle can earn 561 yuan in freight per day. If it is overloaded again

The more you earn, the more you earn.

Excluding gas costs, loading and unloading time, driver costs, dispatch costs, empty load rate, etc., an old Jiefang can earn 8,000 to 10,000 yuan per month.

This is just the old Jiefang with the smallest load capacity. Those more advanced trucks can run faster, carry larger loads, and make more money.

The freight department has more than 200 trucks of various types, 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 in 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 country began to implement the profit-to-tax reform. 55% of the profits were directly paid to the State Administration of Taxation as corporate income tax. After-tax profits were then partly handed over to the local government according to the proportion, and part was left to the enterprises for their own disposal. If calculated comprehensively,

, the enterprise can get 30% of the profit, and this 30% also includes the enterprise's production development fund, employees' collective welfare fund and bonuses, etc. Basically, the country gets the big part, the enterprise gets the middle part, and the individual gets the small part.

With Qinghe Transportation Company's ability to make money, even if it only gets one winner, it's still a lot of money.

Otherwise, Zhu Shicong would not have been able to sell 500 million in state-owned assets in the early 1990s. If the transportation company did not make money, it would not be able to save 500 million in wealth.

So as the dispatcher of the freight department, Li Weidong casually dispatched a fleet of vehicles, which was a business worth tens of thousands of dollars.

At lunch time, Li Weidong walked to the window and handed the lunch box to the chef. Without saying anything, the chef directly gave Li Weidong a large spoonful of fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts.

Li Weidong glanced at it. The shredded meat was fatter and thinner. It was shiny and very appetizing. Just when Li Weidong was about to take back the lunch box, the chef actually gave Li Weidong another half spoonful.

"Master, why are you giving so much today! Is there a happy event at home?" Li Weidong said with a smile.

The chef rolled his eyes at Li Weidong and said, "Zengling County had a great harvest of garlic sprouts. I bought some more while they were cheap. However, it suddenly became warm in the past two days. The garlic sprouts couldn't be kept and rotted easily, so I hurriedly cooked them to eat."

"So that's it." Li Weidong nodded, picked up the box of fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts, and left the food window thoughtfully.

After lunch, Li Weidong returned to the dispatch room and began to review the freight orders received in the past week.

After careful inspection, Li Weidong frowned: "It's already here, and there's no order from Zenling County yet. Something big is going to happen!"

Thinking of this, Li Weidong picked up the calendar on his desk, flipped through the pages, and finally drew a big circle on May 29th.

"May 29th is the tenth day of the lunar calendar, which happens to be the day of the rural market. If I remember correctly, it is this day! It's a pity that I am just an ordinary dispatcher with limited abilities!"

Li Weidong frowned and fell into thinking.

May 29th.

In the Nanshan parking lot of the transportation company, a honest man who looked like a worker stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Chen Lin's hand and said with a smile: "Chen Shu, our factory has been waiting for this batch of goods for a week. How about you help me?"

I don’t know how long I have to wait.”

On-site dispatcher Chen Lin kicked the cigarette into his pocket and said: "Old Zhao, don't worry, I have already said hello to the dispatch department, and the dispatch department has also arranged a car. It is estimated that in half an hour, we will arrive.

The car is here."

"Um...uh..." Lao Zhao suddenly began to stammer.

"Old Zhao, if you have anything to say, just say it, why are you so hesitant?" Chen Lin said.

"Chen Shuiduan, that's what you said an hour ago." Lao Zhao said cautiously.

"Has it been an hour? The car hasn't come yet?" Chen Lin suddenly looked embarrassed: "Old Zhao, just wait, I'll call the dispatch department and ask what the situation is."

Chen Lin said, jogging all the way to the office in the parking lot, and dialed the number of the dispatch department.

"Hey, dispatch department, I'm Chen Lin. I'm at the Nanshan parking lot now. Why haven't the five cars from the cable factory arrived yet? It's been an hour, and we still have to rush to load the goods!"

"What? We don't have a car at the moment? How is that possible? Didn't ten cars just come back from Dongdao last night? They were all sent to Zengling County? They were just sent out!"

"How can you send the cars out? I called in the morning and the cable factory wants five cars. They have been waiting for a week. Who sent the cars to Zengling?"

"Li Weidong? Is he the new Li Weidong? Why should he send the car I want to Zengling!"

"Yes, I know he is responsible for the planning and dispatching. He has the final say on how to dispatch the vehicles, but we can't do it randomly! Are our on-site dispatchers the stepmother? Not even five vehicles can come!"

Chen Lin complained on the phone, but it didn't help. After all, the car had already been dispatched.

Chen Lin walked out of the office with a pale face. Lao Zhao immediately came up to him and asked eagerly: "Chen Lin, how are you? When can the car arrive?"

"Hey!" Chen Lin sighed: "The car is temporarily gone."

"No car?" Mr. Zhao suddenly looked disappointed.

Looking at Old Zhao's disappointed look, Chen Lin clenched his fists angrily: "Old Zhao, just wait, I'll go back to the company now and help you get the car back!"
