What is the monthly salary of a high-speed rail driver?Why only 4 hours a day?That's it
In China, due to the particularity and importance of the profession itself, the specific salary of high-speed rail drivers is much higher than that of many ordinary occupations. Although the pay is high, they only need to work 4 hours a day.
Many people envy high-speed rail drivers and wonder why this profession only requires four hours of work, but the salary can be higher than the average job. In order to answer this question, let's take a closer look.
The monthly salary of a human resources liaison varies widely, depending on factors such as work location, work experience, company policies, etc., and is usually between $8,000 and $12,000. The longer you work, the higher your specific position and the higher the compensation package you can receive.
In addition to the basic salary, certain allowances and bonuses can also be paid to high-speed rail drivers according to their specific performance and attendance rate.
If overtime is necessary, overtime pay can also be added to the salary based on factors such as the number of overtime hours and the specific mileage. Overtime pay is generally 15 to 2 times.
High-speed train drivers also enjoy various social insurance and family allowances, such as: endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance, etc.
From this point of view, high-speed train drivers are indeed enviable in terms of salary, benefits, and safety.
The rest and working hours of high-speed rail drivers are generally as follows: from the place of departure to the place of return, they can temporarily interrupt their work;However, after resting for more than 18 hours at the place of departure, you can continue driving with a certain amount of rest in between.
There is a monthly working hour limit of 16667 hours, i.e. just over 5 hours per day, based on 30 days per month. If the maximum number of hours worked is exceeded, the worker must change jobs or receive full overtime pay.
Under normal circumstances, the salary of ordinary white-collar workers is only 5,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, compared to nearly half a point higher in the monthly salary of high-speed rail drivers. In terms of other benefits, the average white-collar worker simply can't compare with a high-speed rail driver.
In addition, compared with ordinary white-collar workers, the job of high-speed rail drivers is also more stable, and they usually sign contracts with large listed companies or ** institutions, and their jobs are more secure.
As the backbone of high-speed rail operation, high-speed rail drivers enjoy high social prestige, speak more smoothly, and are more likely to gain the respect of others. On the contrary, as an ordinary worker, an ordinary white-collar worker will not have the so-called social prestige and will not be respected by others.
Seeing this, I believe that many readers will feel very envious because of this, and they will also wonder why high-speed rail drivers can continue to enjoy high salaries despite their short working hours
Of course, this is because it is not easy to become a qualified high-speed train driver.
According to the regulations of the relevant authorities, students who complete this course must also undergo rigorous supervision, evaluation and training, and then select some of the top performers, and the competition is quite fierce.
There are several main reasons why high-speed rail drivers only need to work four hours a day:
First of all, this is determined by the peculiarities of the profession of high-speed rail driver. High-speed rail drivers need to concentrate for long periods of time while working. In order to ensure that the driver can concentrate and avoid fatigue driving, the working time is strictly limited to 4 hours.
In particular, there is a special brake pedal on high-speed trains, which the driver of high-speed trains must press every 30 seconds. If it is not stepped on for more than 30 seconds, the high-speed train enters a created driverless state, and the emergency braking will be activated after 7 seconds.
This way of working is a severe test for the body and mind of the truck driver.
High-speed rail drivers must obey the command of the dispatcher in their work, and accurately grasp the time, route and speed requirements of the train departure in accordance with the driving plan and dispatching instructions
Before each departure, carefully check the equipment and technical condition of the train to ensure that it is running well;Drive the train on time and accurately in accordance with the requirements of the specified speed, marshalling and passing lines to ensure the safety of passengers.
High-speed train drivers must have superb driving skills and master the operation of different high-speed railway systems, such as signaling systems, communication systems, braking systems, etc., before taking up their posts.
You also need to have the ability to react quickly and make decisions;In an emergency, you can react quickly to braking and take emergency braking measures to ensure that the train stops in time to avoid accidents
High-speed train drivers also need to have good psychological quality and teamwork skills, and work closely with train drivers, dispatchers and technicians to ensure the safe, punctual and smooth operation of trains.
All this shows that although the working hours of high-speed rail drivers are only four hours, they cannot ask for leave during these four hours, unlike other jobs that can take leave during working hours.
During these four hours, the work intensity of high-speed rail drivers is incomparable to other ordinary occupations. What's more, the job of a high-speed rail driver is very important in itself, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be sneaky at work like other ordinary professions.
The slightest disturbance is prone to accidents. And a railway line running at high speed will either not have an accident, or if an accident does, it may be a major accident with human life at stake.
Only in this way can the working hours of high-speed rail drivers be strictly limited, so that their physical and mental health can be better guaranteed. In this way, high-speed rail drivers can arrange their working hours more reasonably and perform their duties in a better physical and mental state.
The career prospects for a high-speed rail driver are very broad. With the rapid development of China's national economy, major cities across the country have opened high-speed rail lines, and there is a great demand for talents in the profession of high-speed rail drivers.
According to relevant data, in the next 3 to 10 years, about 800,000 high-speed rail driving professionals will be needed in major cities across the country. At present, only a few schools in China have opened related majors, which are far from meeting the needs of society.
As for the challenges faced by truck drivers, they have been huge since the birth of the profession and will not change in the future.
High-speed rail drivers have a lot of responsibility, and each leg of the journey directly affects the safety and well-being of hundreds of passengers. At the same time, as mentioned above, high-speed rail drivers are also very intense and have to concentrate for a long time, which can easily cause physical fatigue and occupational diseases after long-term work.
The continuous development and updating of high-speed rail technology also requires high-speed rail drivers to continuously learn and master new knowledge and skills. The continuous development of intelligent and informatization of high-speed rail trains has also put forward higher requirements for the professional skills of high-speed rail drivers, requiring them to continuously learn and master new knowledge and skills.
Aspiring to pursue this profession also requires a high level of responsibility, professional skills, and the ability to learn to cope with the changing work environment and needs.
In terms of career development prospects, high-speed rail drivers are different from general careers in that they have a very stable promotion channel, which can be gradually promoted from ordinary drivers to train conductors, dispatchers, etc., or even higher-level positions.
Many people may know that there seems to be no young people in their twenties engaged in the work of high-speed train drivers in China at present, and most of them are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties.
Why is that?The main reasons why there are no young people among high-speed rail drivers are as follows:
First of all, experience and skills are required. High-speed rail driving is a highly specialized job that requires drivers to have a wealth of experience and skilled skills. It is not possible for young people to acquire the necessary skills and work experience in a short period of time.
All of these work experience and skills require a long period of practice and learning to master. As a result, the proportion of young people in the ranks of high-speed rail drivers is relatively low.
The second is the requirement of technical content. High-speed rail train drivers must master very advanced technology and knowledge before taking up their posts, including train control systems, signal transmission technology, safety operation procedures, etc., which can only be mastered after a long period of study and practice. These techniques and skills take a long time to learn and practice to master, and young people generally do not master these important contents until middle age.
Third, the requirements of the nature of the work. High-speed train drivers have heavy responsibilities and high safety requirements when performing tasks, and they must always maintain a high degree of concentration and vigilance, and respond quickly and accurately to emergencies. In such a profession, the work pressure is obviously much greater than that of other general occupations, and this huge work pressure can discourage some young people.
In short, the profession of a high-speed rail driver is a profession full of opportunities and challenges, with a good salary and a short working time, generally no more than 4 hours, which makes many young people envious.
But this does not mean that the profession of high-speed train driver is easy, and its complexity and difficulty are enough to discourage many young people.
In just four hours of work, a high level of concentration is required and there can be no moments of laziness, but at the same time, it is necessary to take into account the train's operating schedule, schedule, as well as any emergencies and other factors.
