A shipper searching for a truck online today runs into a wall of near-identical claims. Every platform promises verified trucks, live tracking and pan-India coverage. The differences that actually matter, pricing model, service scope, and what happens after you hit confirm- rarely show up on the homepage.
This list breaks down six platforms that businesses in India use to book full truckload freight, based on what each company currently states about its own service, plus a note on where an enterprise transport management system fits instead of a booking platform. Where a platform also handles part load or parcel alongside FTL, that is noted, since it changes who the platform is built for.
This comparison is published by TruckGuru. We have focused on publicly stated features and pricing models for each platform, and we encourage you to confirm current terms directly with any provider before booking.
1. TruckGuru
TruckGuru runs a B2B full truckload booking platform focused on intercity freight, with public coverage across 110+ Indian cities. The model is narrow by design: one truck, one commercial consignment, moving between cities.
What stands out:
- TruckGuru confirms the transportation rate before dispatching the truck, and doesn’t revise it at the loading dock
- Fleet ranges from Tata Ace (1,250 kg) and Bada Dost up to 32ft MXL containers (18 tonnes), per TruckGuru’s own freight calculator specs
- You get live GPS tracking from dispatch, plus a digital LR, GST invoice and POD for every trip
- You pay in three parts: a Booking Amount at confirmation, 90% of the fare at loading, and the balance before unloading begins
TruckGuru does not offer part load, parcel, courier or household shifting. If your shipment consistently fills a truck, or comes close, this is built for that use case. If you are regularly shipping smaller consignments that do not need a dedicated vehicle, look further down this list.
2. FR8
FR8 positions itself around online FTL truck booking with live rates, currently stating 500+ routes, 40+ branch offices and a claimed base of 1,00,000+ verified trucks. It runs on a spot-market pricing model: FR8 calculates rates from its own completed-trip data rather than confirming a fixed number ahead of time.
FR8 states that it does not handle part-load shipments, so its scope sits close to TruckGuru’s, FTL only. The company also states it does not currently offer refrigerated or temperature-controlled trucks, worth confirming directly if your cargo needs climate control.
Where FR8 differs from a confirmed-rate model: market conditions on the day of booking set the fare, which can work in a shipper’s favour on some routes and against it on others.
FR8’s payment structure also differs from a three-part split. It states two options: 90% paid as an advance at loading with the remaining 10% due after POD, or full payment on delivery.
3. WheelsEye
WheelsEye runs a broader operation than a pure FTL platform. It offers full truckload booking and links to a separate part-load booking flow, live GPS tracking, and optional trip insurance up to Rs. 50 lakh at the time of booking.
The pricing workflow differs from a confirmed-upfront model. WheelsEye shows a price range at enquiry, then confirms the exact market price within 30 minutes of booking. For a dispatch team used to seeing one number before committing, that gap matters.
WheelsEye states that its fare excludes loading, unloading and packing. It also currently advertises a large network figure, in the tens of lakhs of trucks, but treat this kind of company-reported number as current positioning rather than an audited count.
If your business ships a mix of full loads and smaller part-load consignments, WheelsEye’s broader scope is worth a look. If you only ever need full trucks, the added part-load option is not something you will use.
4. Trukky
Trukky covers the widest service range on this list: full truckload, part load and door-to-door parcel, all under one platform. Some of its city and route pages publish weight-based rate ranges, though the company is clear that actual quotes vary by cargo, route and vehicle type, so treat any published per-kg figure as an example rather than a fixed rate.
Trukky advertises a pay-after-loading service guarantee and offers transit insurance through a third-party partner as part of the booking flow. The standard process also includes live GPS tracking and digital documentation, including LR and invoice.
Because Trukky spans three service types, it is a reasonable fit for businesses whose shipping needs change month to month, some full loads, some smaller consignments, occasionally a parcel. For a shipper that only moves full truckloads on a fixed set of routes, that flexibility adds little.
5. BlackBuck
BlackBuck operates differently from the other five platforms on this list. Rather than positioning primarily as a booking app for shippers, it runs a digital trucking platform built around truck operators, covering toll and fuel payments, vehicle tracking and telematics, a loads marketplace, and financing for used commercial vehicles.
In its FY2025-26 annual report, BlackBuck states that approximately 1.1 million truck operators transacted on its platform during the year. That figure describes truck operators using BlackBuck’s services. It does not count trucks or shipper-facing bookings, so don’t read it as either.
For a shipper, BlackBuck is relevant mainly through its loads marketplace, where shippers and truck operators connect directly, rather than as a platform offering a fixed, company-confirmed freight rate the way an FTL booking platform does.
6. Vahak
Vahak runs a free-to-use, zero-commission marketplace connecting shippers with truck and LCV owners across India. Its homepage currently states over 10 lakh verified transporters and coverage in 1,000+ cities, though other pages on the same site cite different city and location counts, so treat any single figure as a snapshot rather than a fixed number. It supports both full truckload and part-load booking as separate listed services.
The workflow is post-and-bid rather than instant confirmed pricing: a shipper posts a load, nearby transporters send prices, and the shipper picks one before paying a booking amount. Vahak also offers cargo insurance and live tracking on bookings made through the app.
This marketplace model suits shippers who want to compare multiple transporter bids on a route before committing, rather than accepting one confirmed rate upfront. It is a different buying experience from a platform where the price is set before you ever see a bid.
A different category: Freight Tiger
Freight Tiger is not a truck booking platform, and grouping it with the six above would be misleading. It runs a cloud-based transport management system and a digital freight network, aimed at enterprise shippers who need full visibility across plants, transporters and logistics providers, not a single dedicated truck for one shipment.
If you need a truck for a specific dispatch, Freight Tiger is more infrastructure than you need. If you run a large in-house logistics operation managing dozens of daily dispatches across a network, it belongs on a different shortlist, alongside other enterprise TMS vendors, not on this one.
How to actually choose between them
Match the platform to the shipment, not the other way around:
- Shipment always fills, or nearly fills, a dedicated truck, and you want the rate locked in before dispatch: TruckGuru
- Shipment always fills a truck, and you are comfortable with a market-linked rate calculated from recent completed trips: FR8
- Shipment volume varies between full loads and smaller consignments, and optional insurance at booking matters to you: WheelsEye
- Shipment type varies across full load, part load and parcel in the same month: Trukky
- You want to post a load and compare bids from multiple transporters before choosing: Vahak
- You are a truck operator looking for payments, telematics and financing tools, or a shipper using BlackBuck’s loads marketplace directly: BlackBuck
Company-reported figures like fleet size, transporter counts and route numbers change often and can differ across a company’s own pages, sometimes on the same website. Treat them as current positioning statements, not independently audited data, and confirm anything that materially affects a procurement decision directly with the provider.

FAQs
Which of these platforms only handle full truckload, no part load?
TruckGuru and FR8 both state that they do not handle part-load shipments. WheelsEye, Trukky and Vahak all offer part load either as a core service or an add-on alongside FTL. BlackBuck is a different case, it connects shippers and truck operators through a loads marketplace rather than listing part load as a distinct booking option.
Which platform confirms the rate before the truck is dispatched?
TruckGuru states that its transportation rate is confirmed before dispatch. FR8’s pricing is based on completed-trip market data, WheelsEye gives a range at enquiry followed by an exact price within 30 minutes, Trukky states an instant system-calculated rate at booking, and Vahak uses a post-and-bid model where transporters submit competing quotes.
Is BlackBuck a truck booking platform for shippers?
Not primarily. BlackBuck is built around truck operators, covering payments, telematics, vehicle finance and a loads marketplace. Shippers interact with it mainly through that marketplace rather than a direct booking flow.
Where does Freight Tiger fit if it is not on this list?
Freight Tiger is an enterprise transport management system and freight network, not a single-truck booking platform. It fits businesses running large in-house logistics operations with a high volume of daily dispatches, a different requirement from booking one truck for one shipment.
Are the fleet and network numbers on these websites accurate?
They are the companies’ own published figures at the time of writing. Numbers like fleet size and city coverage change and can vary between pages on the same site, so confirm anything that matters to your decision directly with the platform before booking.
Which platforms require payment before the truck is even loaded?
All of them collect some payment tied to loading rather than after full delivery. TruckGuru splits payment into a Booking Amount, 90% at loading and a balance before unloading. FR8 takes 90% as an advance at loading with 10% after POD, or full payment on delivery. WheelsEye requires payment when the vehicle reaches the loading point. Vahak and Trukky both collect a booking amount before the trip begins, with the balance tied to delivery.
Which platforms offer cargo insurance, and which do not?
WheelsEye offers optional trip insurance up to Rs. 50 lakh through ICICI Lombard. Trukky offers transit insurance through a third-party partner. Vahak also offers cargo insurance as part of its marketplace. TruckGuru does not provide cargo insurance and expects the shipper to arrange it separately. FR8 does not list insurance as a stated booking feature.
How does documentation differ across these platforms?
TruckGuru generates a digital LR, GST invoice and POD automatically for every shipment. FR8 auto-generates the LR when a truck is assigned and states that e-Way Bill access and POD are available through its app and web platform. WheelsEye provides the bill, invoice and POD inside its app. Trukky and Vahak both provide digital LR and invoice records, with the exact format varying by booking.
Do all of these platforms offer live GPS tracking?
Yes, tracking is standard across the group. TruckGuru, FR8, WheelsEye, Trukky and Vahak all state that they provide live GPS tracking on bookings. BlackBuck’s tracking is built for truck operators through its telematics service rather than as a shipper-facing feature.
Why does TruckGuru not appear as PTL or parcel capable anywhere on this list?
Because it genuinely is not. TruckGuru states clearly that it handles full truckload intercity transport only and does not offer part load, parcel, courier or household shifting. A business with mixed shipment sizes will need a second platform from this list, such as WheelsEye, Trukky or Vahak, for anything that does not fill a dedicated truck.
