As soon as the big truck had an accident, a bunch of people commented that "if you don't overload, you will lose money". Is this statement true or false?

If you can make money without overloading, I believe the drivers of big trucks will not take this risk, so it should be true that big trucks will lose money without overloading.

The most fundamental problem in our country's overload control should not be whether the punishment is enough or not, but the domestic freight rate is low for a long time. If the normal operation can make money, truck drivers should not be willing to take the risk of overload. The direct consequence of overload is a fine imposed by the traffic police. Second, it is dangerous. Third, it is also the most crucial thing. No one cares about his own car, and it is overloaded for a long time, and the vehicle is seriously worn. Originally, his new car can be in good condition after four or five years, and it will be overloaded for one or two years.

Now that they have become drivers, many of them are definitely not very rich. In this way, most of them buy trucks by borrowing loans, which is similar to buying a house. They are mortgaged. There are really few trucks, especially large trucks, which are hundreds of thousands. So the problem is that since cars are bought by mortgage, drivers have to pay off mortgage loans every month. Take the three-year mortgage payment as an example. One month's insurance premium will pay back 15 thousand, which is at least 5% of the down payment. If the driver is not overloaded and can't pay it back in two or three months, the car will be taken away by the insurance company, so the loss is still the driver himself. Therefore, high pressure and low profit make drivers embark on the road of overload.

Of course, it is not excluded that some drivers can make money without overloading, but they are still overloaded. Such people's desires are always endless, so such things are inevitable after all. I can only hope that such things will become less and less in the future.
