Chengdu Business Daily reported on September 11 that when a truck is weighed at a highway toll station, the driver only needs to tap the button on the remote control to make the truck "slim down" immediately, and only weigh 135 tons. Out of 29 tons. What is so magical?
Recently, after more than two years of investigation and trial, the Sichuan road network extraordinarily evasion toll case all trial ended. More than 70 truck drivers used hydraulic equipment to evade tolls, involving more than 20 stations on 7 roads including Mianyang-Guangzhou Expressway, and the amount involved was as high as more than 300 million yuan.
 
 
Hydraulic unit remote control
A reporter from the Chengdu Commercial Daily learned from the Sichuan Communications Investment Group that the "March 27" extraordinarily large toll evasion case was seized by the Sichuan Expressway Construction and Development Corporation ("Chuagao Company"), and the last three suspects were sentenced a few days ago. So far, 67 truck drivers and one auto repair shop owner have all been sentenced.
 
Case:
The weighing scale on the heavy truck plays "lightness power"
The staff of the Inspection and Monitoring Center of Chuangao Company introduced to a reporter from Chengdu Commercial Daily that the case mainly involved more than 20 toll stations, namely, Guangyuan Station, Zhaohua Station and Jianmenguan Station of Mianyang Expressway, Chengmian Road, Chengmian Multiple Line and Miansui Road. Multiple toll stations, and Guangbei Erzhuan Road (G108) porcelain kiln shop station. Among them, Chengmianlu and Chengmian double line have the most evasion fees, and the time of the crime can be traced back to 2014.
In May of that year, the staff of Sichuan North Sichuan Expressway Co., Ltd. (referred to as "North Sichuan Company") Mianyang-Guangzhou Expressway Guangyuan Toll Station, a subsidiary of Chuangao Company, found that every evening, large trucks filed in. What puzzled the toll collectors on duty was that they were all heavy vehicles and the noise at the station was so loud, but the weighing data of "overtaking" at the entrance never showed overweight. According to experience, the weight of these cars varies greatly from the actual.
This continued until September of that year, with more and more similar vans. Almost every day at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the three toll stations of Guangyuan, Zhaohua, and Jianmenguan will have different degrees of intensive entry of large trucks. The porcelain kiln shop station of Guangbei Second Special Road (G108) also has a similar exit phenomenon.
Inspectors found that a six-axle truck of Sichuan ALXXXX was loaded with 135 tons, but it was not overloaded at Guangyuan toll station and entered the expressway smoothly. However, when it left Pengzhou Station of Chengpeng Expressway, the weighing data was only 29 tons, and the weighing data at the delivery side was still 135 tons. This car not only fled the toll of more than 9000 yuan on this trip, but more importantly, a large truck overloaded with hundreds of tons was speeding on the highway, which had great safety risks.
 
Crime:
Pilot remote "jack"
Investigators found that these trucks are basically six-axle trucks, which travel between Guangyuan's cement plant, surrounding coal yards and Chengdu, Mianyang, Deyang, Shifang and other places for a long time. These vehicles are all equipped with a hydraulic device in the same repair shop. Through control, the fourth and 5. six axles are alternately raised and lowered to realize the center of gravity shift. The center of gravity of the vehicle crosses the scale to reduce the total weight of the truck, thereby overloading into and out of the highway, And evade tolls.
The installation of this hydraulic device is very hidden, and the control device is hidden in the cab. The whole weighing process only takes a few seconds, which is extremely difficult for the staff to detect.
The staff of the inspection and monitoring center of Chuangao Company told the reporter of Chengdu Business Daily that the weight of the goods is mainly on 4~6 axes. Using hydraulic devices, the center of gravity of the goods can be shifted like a seesaw. Wang, who installed the hydraulic device, is the only suspect in the case who is not the driver.
It is understood that Wang is from Weiyuan, Sichuan, and has opened two auto repair shops in Xindu and Qingbaijiang. He has been engaged in the automobile repair industry for 10 years, mainly engaged in automobile chassis repair, engine maintenance, hydraulic device maintenance and other business. Wang knows that car tire changes do not need to install hydraulic jacks on both sides of the axle. The installation is to evade tolls on the highway. He also installs it for the driver and explains how to use it. From June 2014 to April 2015, he installed electro-hydraulic lifting equipment on six 6-axle heavy-duty semi-trailer trucks. for each set of equipment installed, he charged truck drivers with installation fees ranging from 12000 yuan to 14500 yuan. In less than a year, he made an illegal profit of more than 79600 yuan.
 
Case solving:
Four provinces arrested, 68 sentenced

Three suspects were designated by the People's Procuratorate of Guangyuan City to be prosecuted by the People's Procuratorate of Jiange County, and two were exempted from prosecution. On October 12, 2015, the Zhaohua District People's Court opened a court session for the first time to hear the case. The first batch of 18 criminal suspects involved in the case pleaded guilty in court and will actively return the evaded tolls. On February 4, 2016, the court issued first-instance judgments on 67 criminal suspects, of which 3 were sentenced to 2 to 4 years in prison, 62 were sentenced to probation, 1 was fined, and 1 was exempted from punishment. Among them, Wang, the owner of the auto repair shop, was sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for four years, and fined 20000 yuan for fraud. Wang's relatives voluntarily returned all the stolen money.
