There is a famous saying that goes well: take care of things as they come. Don’t give up easily once you’ve made a choice, struggle for a while, and then say no more, that’s what young people are like; if you just plucked up the courage to make a change but then gave up, why did you do it in the first place? Next, let me analyze for you how difficult it is to change careers. What hardships have you endured in order to change careers?

1. The prosperity and decline of the transportation industry

After witnessing the transformation of the freight industry from my father’s generation to today, I have witnessed the process of transformation. The considerable freight costs in the past were worthy of the hard work. And now? The meager shipping costs can no longer afford car owners to hire drivers. Many retail car owners choose to drive alone or sell their cars directly and cooperate with logistics companies.

Solo car owners will have very little profit left on the car after deducting their own wages. If it is a loaned car, they still have to bear the pressure of repayment every month, regardless of labor intensity and mental stress. Xanadu exerts a great pressure on people.

After paying attention to the current freight situation analysis, it has been mentioned in many posts that freight prices are low and competition with each other is very common. If you don’t do it, others will take it away.

So now the living scope of retail investors is constantly being narrowed, and the market situation is getting worse every year. Many cardholders are waiting to see whether the high-speed toll policy will lead to a recovery in the freight market, which will provide reasons for the current low freight prices. Add a candy?

Car owners who choose to sell their cars and cooperate with logistics companies are not having a good time either. Now large and small logistics companies are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. In the author's hometown, it was still a world dominated by retail investors a few years ago. In the past two years, people with resources have established their own logistics companies, and many retail car owners have also joined the fleet.

The increase in fleets has made competition even greater. Generally speaking, the competition among large fleets is nothing more than price competition. After a round of price wars, although you have obtained the transportation contract for this cargo, the price is already terrible. , after paying the driver’s salary, the car’s profit is also very meager, and it still has to support daily expenses.

Large-scale logistics companies may be better. The supply of goods for logistics companies that are just starting up is not very stable, with good times and bad times. New car owners are also very worried about this. When will the money invested be returned? ? Leaving the freight industry means leaving the sea of ??misery, but where to go?

The above are purely personal opinions. Everyone can express their thoughts freely and understand each other's current market conditions in various places.

2. Troubles and dilemmas after changing careers

First of all, let’s talk about the dilemma that the author faced after changing careers. A fixed salary is not that easy to get, and I still have to face the glares and bosses. Criticism is also the calmness and sophistication that I have developed before, so that I can deal with these trivial matters calmly now. The troubles in life are inevitable, it depends on how you deal with them.

Many times there is no overtime pay for overtime work in municipal pipeline maintenance. The leaders at the top are right and confident that giving you a salary means letting you go to work. However, the contract clearly states the working hours in black and white. Overtime work beyond the working hours is not allowed. , do you choose to obey or refuse?

A friend next to me, who used to be a good partner in sports cars together, has now changed his career and opened a fast food restaurant. In the first half year of opening the store, the income is still very optimistic.

However, with the population flow in the area, the business is also declining day by day. Now I can barely maintain daily living expenses. Soon a year has passed. I just mentioned it when we were chatting a few days ago. If you continue to persevere, go back to your hometown and resume your old career.

Many veteran drivers have been involved in the transportation industry since they graduated from school. They are very experienced in the industry, but after changing careers, they have no experience in other industries. It can be said that they are a As a newbie, there are many things that I don’t understand, and I might get into trouble if I’m not careful.

The older generation will want to retire after just a few years, but those of us born in the 80s and 90s, who are in their prime, have no clue about the difficulties in the industry and the worries of changing careers.

3. Personal advice: Be careful when changing careers

Before changing careers, learn more about the new industry and don’t invest blindly. Just like buying a car, first drive and work for others, and then wait. The same principle applies to buying and operating a car yourself after you become proficient. Blind investment will only get you into trouble.

It is best to work in a job that is well known by relatives and friends. In this way, having acquaintances to guide you will avoid many detours in development and save a lot of time.
