3.4. Investigation of Freight Vehicles Transportation 2.3
in Guiyang
3.4.1 Current Situation of the Freight Market in Guiyang
Currently, there are no standard freight stations in Guiyang. There
are two main types of freight markets: roadside freight markets and
centralized freight markets, and there are 392 less-than-truck-load
(LTL) transport freight service providers. The roadside freight markets
are located along the streets. Storefronts are used as storage and
distribution venues for cargos, and freight vehicles stop and load/
unload cargos on urban roads. Most of the roadside freight markets
are located along five urban roads: Luoyanying, Touqiao Road,
Haimachong and Qianchun Road in Yunyan District, and Jiarun Road
in Nanming District. In these markets, there are 258 LTL freight service
providers. Centralized freight markets are located along trunk roads.
The operators of freight yards rent sites of a certain area (generally
above 2,000 square metres), and build on these sites simple warehouses
together with freight operating areas. Some of the freight yards have
freight handling facilities which are leased to big freight shippers for
cargo distribution. There are seven freight yards, with 134 LTL freight
service providers operating in them (see Appendix A).
Most freight service providers have individual business licences
granted by the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce
and road transport operator’s permits granted by the Municipal
Transport Administration. A few of them are engaged in unlicensed
business activities. The business scopes of LTL freight service providers
as specified in their business licences are ‘LTL freight stations’. They
are also self-employed. Therefore, these LTL freight service providers
are not logistics enterprises in a real sense. The centralized freight
markets across the whole municipality are all just transfer stations and
do not have the functions of modern logistics.
3.4.2 Investigation of the Number of Freight Vehicles in
Guiyang
In recent years, about 222,800 tonnes of fresh agricultural products
enter the circulation domain each year in Guiyang, and 60,100 tonnes
of goods are transported through cold-chain logistics. There are now
14 cold storages with a total storage capacity of 74,600 cubic metres or
around 27,300 tonnes. In 2011, the urban delivery quantity in Guiyang
reached 3.75 million tonnes, and the daily delivery quantity within
Guiyang was above 10,000 tonnes. The urban delivery in Guiyang
