1. Stagnation
In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, local governments have implemented strict traffic control measures. In some places, it is expressly stipulated that vehicles not related to epidemic prevention will be detained, and even in some places, the transfer center is directly cut off from water and electricity, making it difficult for the logistics industry to conduct business normally.
The impact of the epidemic on the logistics industry
2. Rising corporate costs
Affected by the epidemic, the operating costs of express logistics companies have increased significantly. Both internal prevention and control and front-line personnel need to purchase large quantities of protective materials. Employees in various regions still have to spend normal labor costs during the quarantine period. The total monthly salary of 59,000 employees in the operating system exceeds 300 million yuan, and the total number of employees on the entire network exceeds 400,000, which puts huge pressure on labor costs.
