Book Tata AceMost people know Agra for the Taj Mahal. Freight people know it for shoes. The city's footwear units in Hing Ki Mandi, Sikandra and the Nunhai industrial area turn out a large share of India's leather and non-leather footwear, and almost all of it leaves by truck. Add the foundries of Foundry Nagar and the potato cold storages that ring the district, and Agra ships far more than its size suggests.
TruckGuru books full truckload trucks from Agra for intercity trips of 100 km or more. One truck carries one consignment. We do not offer deliveries within Agra, and the truck carries your goods alone.
What leaves Agra by truck
Footwear. Finished shoes and uppers move in cartons to distributors in Delhi, Kanpur, Kolkata and Mumbai, and to export houses that ship through Mundra and JNPT. Cartons are light, so these loads fill a truck by volume long before weight.
Castings and engine parts. Foundry Nagar has supplied cast iron parts and small diesel engine components for decades. These are dense loads, and a 14FT or 17FT Eicher often reaches its weight limit with half the floor empty.
Potatoes. Agra district is one of the country's biggest potato belts. Cold storages release stock from spring through autumn, and it goes by the truckload to wholesale mandis in Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and the east.
Stone and handicrafts. Marble inlay work, sandstone and handicraft stock move in smaller volumes, mostly to Delhi and Jaipur buyers.

Which truck fits an Agra load
| Vehicle | Load capacity | Typical use |
| Ace / Dost / Pickup | Up to 1,100 kg | Sample batches, small footwear consignments |
| 14FT Eicher | 3.5 ton | Castings and engine parts up to 3.5 ton |

Weigh castings before you book. We have seen shippers order a small vehicle for a few cartons of engine parts and find at loading that the weight is three times what they assumed. The truck size guide lists inside dimensions, and the Eicher truck page covers the 14FT to 19FT range.
Truck rates
Truck freight rates are not fixed. What a load costs depends on the route, vehicle type, load capacity needed, cargo, pickup date and how many trucks are running that lane that week. Agra has a busy two-way flow to Delhi and Kanpur, so trucks on those lanes are usually easy to find, while longer runs to Mumbai or Kolkata depend more on the week.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.

Local rules that affect loading
Agra sits inside the Taj Trapezium Zone. Heavy vehicle movement near the monument area is restricted, and the city enforces no-entry hours for trucks in the old city. Loading in Hing Ki Mandi or near Sadar usually means a smaller vehicle or an early morning slot. Units in Sikandra, Nunhai and the Kosi-side estates are easier for larger trucks.
Potato season is the other thing to plan for. When cold storages release stock in bulk, trucks in the Agra belt get booked out fast. If you have a dispatch in March or April, book 2 to 3 days ahead.
Winter fog on the expressways in December and January slows night driving and can delay a Delhi run.
Footwear export loads
Export orders have a fixed vessel cut-off, and that date drives everything. Agra export houses usually book the truck 4 to 5 days before the cut-off at Mundra or JNPT, because the run is 1,100 to 1,300 km and CFS queues add half a day. Send the invoice, packing list and CFS booking reference with the driver. A truck that reaches the CFS without them waits outside while the forwarder sorts it out by phone.
How booking works
Enter pickup, drop and vehicle type on the booking page. You see the trip rate for that day before you confirm. Once you book via the TruckGuru app, our team calls back within 30 minutes during working hours and shares the driver and vehicle details before pickup.
Payment is split into three parts: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading once the truck reaches the pickup location, and the remaining Balance at delivery before unloading begins. Accepted: NEFT, IMPS, UPI (PhonePe, GPay), and major debit and credit cards. No cash payments accepted.
For interstate loads, keep the invoice and e-way bill ready before the truck arrives. Footwear export loads also need the packing list and the CFS booking reference.
Agra transport: questions shippers ask
What does a truck from Agra to Delhi cost?
A 20FT Container from Agra to Delhi, about 230 km, is indicatively Rs.9,400 - Rs.10,400 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
How long does Agra to Delhi take?
Usually within 1 day for roughly 230 km on the Yamuna Expressway. Add time in winter fog and for Delhi no-entry hours if your consignee is inside the city.
Can you pick up from Hing Ki Mandi?
Yes, with a smaller vehicle or in the early morning window. Old city lanes and truck entry rules make large trucks difficult there.
Do you move potatoes from cold storage?
Yes. Bagged potatoes go on 20FT containers or 32FT containers for bulk dispatch. Book early in March and April when cold storages release stock.
Which truck should I book for castings?
Book by weight. A 14FT Eicher takes up to 3.5 ton and a 19FT Eicher up to 7 ton. Castings reach the weight limit well before the truck is full.
Is toll included?
Yes. Every trip rate includes toll, including expressway toll.
How do I pay?
Payment is split into three parts: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading once the truck reaches the pickup location, and the remaining Balance at delivery before unloading begins. Accepted: NEFT, IMPS, UPI (PhonePe, GPay), and major debit and credit cards. No cash payments accepted.
Do you do house shifting in Agra?
The truck and driver come from us; you arrange the packing and the loading crew.
Can you deliver footwear to Mundra or JNPT for export?
Yes. Share the CFS name and vessel cut-off at booking. Load at least 4 days before the cut-off for these distances.
Can I book a truck from Agra to Firozabad?
Firozabad is under 100 km from Agra, so we do not cover that trip. We cover intercity runs of 100 km or more.
