Vantai24h – Ngày 23/06/2015 - Dịch vụ vận tải hàng hóa chuyên tuyến từ Hà Nội đi Hà Giang, kinh nghiệm để xe leo dốc an toàn là phải kiểm tra phương tiện trước khi xuất hành, đảm bảo phương tiện đáp ứng đủ yêu cầu khi đi đường đèo, núi và quan trọng hơn tất cả là sự kết hợp nhuần nhuyễn giữa đôi mắt, đôi tay và đôi chân.
Perhaps the last trip to Ha Giang is my most unforgettable memory. It is also my first business trip as an employee of the Department of Media of Transport 24h Co. I had a chance to experience difficulties and hazards which the company’s drivers have to encounter on the roads. However, the most noticeable thing is the sympathy, love I have for poor people and the happiness I have when building a bridge bringing everybody closer to each other.
Departing from Hanoi to Ha Giang in the early morning, I accompanied with Minh- a driver of Transport 24h . Due to the heavy load of goods, we must use the truck of 3,5 tons to transport them for the charity program. We realized that the bigger the car was, the more dangerous the roads would be but Minh showed no hesitation when assigned this job. Once we all got on the car, Minh turned on me and said: “ I just received the news that it was raining in Ha Giang now. If the weather continued like this, the road we must pass is so much harder. Are you all prepared yourselves for this? If you guys want to come back in the middle of the journey, I can’t take the responsibility.” His funny sentence made us laugh loudly but also felt quite nervous. The only thing coming to my mind at that time was the wish for a safe journey and goods shipped to the final destination, at Bat Dai Son Village, Qyan Ba District, Ha Giang Province . I also hoped that I can hand presents to local children myself. Those little dreams brought me strength to complete the assigned job.
The truck full of donated goods started rolling at 6 am. According to Minh’s experience, we would reach Ha Giang City at 1pm. On the road, Minh told me stories that he experienced within 15 years of driving. It was such an unforgettable memory to me. His stories were so attractive that the distance seemed be shortened. They were all the most realistic, beautiful, dangerous and difficult experiences that he has gone through. They were imbued the values of determination, will and strong mind to overcome adversities. Just like that, the time went very fast and when we reached Ha Giang, we also felt starving. After taking the lunch in Ha Giang City, we continued our journey to Bat Dai Son Village, Quan Ba District at about 2pm.
