Pacific Automotive Network cannot run during the severe epidemic period, but can be run when the epidemic is mild. The reasons are: 1. For safety reasons, the government stipulates that people in Qiancheng must stay at home and not go out; 2. During this period, factories, some companies or ports are closed, and no goods can be carried. However, transportation of special materials is excluded.

The current epidemic is serious. Some drivers have been running around during the Chinese New Year. Some transport various medical supplies, and some transport daily necessities such as poultry, eggs, and milk. Sports cars are the driver’s profession, but now, more is a responsibility.

Under the epidemic control situation, truck drivers often face a "dilemma". Truck drivers are different from other professions. Once they start transporting on the road and traveling around, there is too much uncertainty. I don’t know what kind of people I will come into contact with on the way. It’s often: “It’s easy to get on the highway, but it’s difficult to get off the highway.” Although the government has introduced relevant policies and tried its best to provide necessary conveniences to drivers and masters during control, this is often limited. In those vehicles transporting emergency supplies.

Even if you finish hauling the goods and get off the expressway and return home, you may not even be able to get in. The local epidemic control department will generally require the driver to self-isolate for 14 days. If there are no symptoms of discomfort afterwards, Take the next job. Some places will choose to issue passes to drivers in response to the difficulties faced by truck drivers, but some places will not recognize them because they are not sure which time they were stopped while getting on and off the highway.

After the epidemic eases and urban roads are reopened, trucks can run, but it will be required to measure the driver’s body temperature, and drivers will be asked to check when loading and unloading goods or in service areas on the highway. Temperatures will be taken, and health codes will be required in each region.
