Xinhua News Agency: How inhumane is it to ship apples because of unreasonable tarpaulin charges?

February 1, Guangzhou, Guangdong. When a truck driver pulled a load of apples through a high-speed toll booth, he couldn't help but pay the toll because of a tarpaulin. In the video, the staff of the high-speed toll station said: tarpaulin does not belong to agricultural products and does not meet the criteria for judging road children's vehicles. The driver asked: tarpaulin is a spare part that must be carried in the car. The staff said not to mix with agricultural products. Finally, the driver paid the toll and left.

Because there was a tarpaulin in the car, I charged 3570 yuan. Apples are fresh agricultural products. It should have been free to take the expressway Green Passage. Conghua toll station staff said:? Tent cloth is not an agricultural product and cannot be mixed. Is it reasonable to charge 3570 yuan? . Tent cloth is an essential item for large trucks, and it will come in handy when transporting goods that can't get wet in the rain. When not in use, just fold it up and put it aside.

It was originally a national policy to exempt fresh agricultural products from tolls, in order to benefit the people. But many times, in the actual implementation process, the crooked mouth monk chanting. As the netizens discussed, according to the toll station, vegetables can't be transported by soil, watermelons can't be transported by seeds, and eggs can't be transported by chicken feathers and chicken manure. Measures to benefit the people not only failed to benefit the people, but ultimately hurt the people's hearts. Who will bear the responsibility for such a result? It's unheard of that a truckload of apples was charged 3650 yuan for oilcloth. It is understood that the tarpaulin is only 40 kg, and there are 1025 apples in the car. Waterproof cloth is not a mixed product. It is necessary for trucks carrying apples. Not only this driver does this, but all drivers who pull apples are trying to keep out the rain. Some netizens said: drivers are not agricultural products, and they all charge.

Regarding the high-speed transportation of fresh agricultural products, the state has relevant policies.

According to the Opinions on Further Optimizing the Transportation of Fresh Agricultural Products jointly issued by the Ministry of Transport, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance on July 19? Green channel? Policy notice on further optimizing the transportation of fresh agricultural products? Green channel? Policy, vehicles legally load and transport products in the national unified catalogue of fresh agricultural products, free of vehicle tolls.

There is such a requirement in the notice: strictly waive the scope of vehicle tolls.

Vehicles that legally load and transport products in the national unified catalogue of fresh agricultural products are exempt from vehicle tolls.
