Road freight transport from North to South is one of the main modes serving the needs of businesses and the Vietnamese economy. However, the rainy season, which lasts from May to November every year, causes many difficulties and challenges for road transport. With harsh weather conditions such as heavy rains, floods and landslides, transporting goods on national highways, especially the North-South route, becomes extremely complicated and requires careful preparation.
This article will delve into important notes when transporting goods from North to South during the rainy season by road. We will discuss the impacts of bad weather on traffic and goods, how to choose the right vehicle and route, as well as solutions to protect goods safely, helping businesses and partners minimize risks during transportation.
1. Impact of the rainy season on road transport
1.1. Traffic disruption
The prolonged rainy season not only causes difficulties in traveling but can also completely disrupt important transportation routes. Flooding occurs frequently on many national highways, greatly affecting traffic. Severe flooding is often seen in the Central region such as Quang Binh, Nghe An, Ha Tinh and mountain passes such as Hai Van Pass, Ca Pass.
When floodwaters rise, bridges and roads are destroyed, or major roads are deeply flooded, traffic is cut off and even impassable for days, preventing goods from reaching their destinations on time. This leads to delays in the supply chain and causes damage to businesses.
1.2. Increased traffic accidents
The rainy season not only disrupts traffic but also increases the risk of traffic accidents. Slippery roads, strong winds and limited visibility due to heavy rain are the main causes of road transport accidents. Truck drivers often face the situation of losing control when braking suddenly or driving on flooded roads.
Especially on steep mountain passes or mountainous areas, the risk of landslides during the rainy season is very high, threatening the lives of drivers and causing damage or even complete loss of goods.
1.3. Damage to goods
Prolonged heavy rain not only affects the transportation process but can also damage goods. For sensitive goods such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, frozen foods or high-value goods, exposure to water or excessive humidity will lead to damage, reduce product quality and cause serious economic losses for businesses.
If there are no appropriate measures to protect goods, especially when trucks are moving on flooded roads or stuck in storms, goods can get wet, broken, or even lost due to external factors.
2. Notes when transporting goods during the rainy season
2.1. Choosing the right means of transport
Choosing the right means of transport is a key factor to ensure the safety of goods during the rainy season. Trucks with closed boxes or containers are the best choice to protect goods from heavy rain and flooding. For goods that are susceptible to moisture damage, it is necessary to use trucks with insulation, moisture-proof systems, and sealed containers to keep the goods in the best condition.
In addition, trucks need to be equipped with tires that have good anti-slip properties and an ABS braking system to reduce the risk of skidding when traveling on wet and dangerous roads. This helps the vehicle move more safely and stably, even in bad weather conditions.
For goods that are heavy or need to be transported in large quantities, large trucks can be a suitable choice, but it is necessary to ensure that the vehicle is thoroughly inspected before moving, avoiding overloading the vehicle, which increases the risk of accidents on the road.
2.2. Prepare a safe route
During the rainy season, planning the transportation route is extremely important. Drivers and transport units need to closely monitor weather reports, regularly update traffic conditions and storm warnings from authorities. Road sections at risk of flooding, landslides or traffic jams should be avoided to minimize the risk of being stuck in dangerous situations.
In addition, transport businesses also need to have contingency plans for emergencies, including preparing alternative routes or being ready to transfer goods via other modes of transport if necessary.
2.3. Vehicle inspection and maintenance
Before each trip during the rainy season, vehicle inspection and maintenance are essential. This includes checking the tires, brake system, headlights, wipers, cooling system and fuel. If these parts are not working properly, it can lead to loss of control of the vehicle or cause problems during transportation.
In addition, drivers need to be fully equipped with emergency rescue tools such as tow ropes, basic repair kits, flashlights and spare water bottles, in case of unexpected situations on the road.
2.4. Safe protection of goods
For items that are easily damaged by humidity, careful packaging and the use of waterproof materials are essential. Cargo boxes should be covered with waterproof plastic, or packed in waterproof cartons. In the case of transporting high-value or perishable goods, businesses should consider using transportation services with special protection systems such as air-conditioned trucks
