Booking a truck out of Chennai comes down to three numbers: what your cargo weighs, how far it is going, and what those two multiply out to. Everything else is process.
This page walks the three in order, with the arithmetic shown so you can check it before you call anyone.
If you would rather skip to a figure, the freight calculator takes about two minutes. Or call 72020 45678.
Weight picks the vehicle. Not volume, not what looks like it will fit. The truck that arrives is sized against the figure you declare, and a consignment heavier than that declaration causes problems at checkposts on the way.
| Vehicle | Load Capacity | Rate per km |
|---|---|---|
| Tata Ace | 750 kg - 1,100 kg | Rs.26 - Rs.29 |
| Bada Dost / Mahindra Pickup | up to 1.5T | Rs.26 - Rs.29 |
| Eicher 14FT | 3.5T | Rs.31 - Rs.35 |
| Eicher 17FT | 5T | Rs.34 - Rs.37 |
| Eicher 19FT | 7T | Rs.37 - Rs.41 |
| 20FT Container | 6.5T | Rs.41 - Rs.45 |
| 32FT Container 7/8T | 7T - 8T | Rs.55 - Rs.58 |
| 32FT Container 16T | 16T | Rs.78 - Rs.85 |
| 32FT Container 18T | 18T | Rs.85 - Rs.91 |
One thing worth knowing: the jump from 19FT to 20FT container is a drop in capacity, from 7T to 6.5T, but a rise in rate. You are paying for the enclosed body, not the tonnage. Book the container when the cargo needs protecting, not when it needs space.
Unsure which class your cargo falls into? Transport services in Chennai by industry breaks it down by sector.
| Destination | Distance | Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Bangalore | ~347 km via NH-44 | 5-6 hrs |
| Coimbatore | ~505 km via NH-544 | 7-8 hrs |
| Hyderabad | ~627 km via NH-65 | 8-10 hrs |
| Kochi | ~680 km via NH-544 | 9-11 hrs |
| Pune | ~1,160 km via NH-48 | 15-18 hrs |
| Mumbai | ~1,335 km via NH-48 | 16-19 hrs |
| Ahmedabad | ~1,890 km via NH-48 | 23-27 hrs |
| Delhi | ~2,180 km via NH-44 | 28-32 hrs |
Transit is driving time plus mandatory rest. It does not include loading at your end or waiting at the receiver's gate, and on the longer runs those two account for more variance than the highway does.
Bangalore is the shortest and busiest lane out of Chennai. Detail on that corridor: Chennai to Bangalore transport. Anything not listed, see truck booking online.
Distance times the per-km rate for your vehicle. That is the whole calculation.
A 14FT Eicher to Bangalore: 347 km at Rs.14,757 to Rs.15,145.
A 32FT container at 16 tonnes to Mumbai: 1,335 km Rs.75,130 to Rs.80,475.
Where you land inside the band depends on the lane and the date. Corridors carrying freight in both directions sit nearer the lower end, because the operator is not absorbing an empty return. Q4 and post-harvest weeks push upward.
Toll treatment is confirmed with your rate before dispatch. Check your own route on the freight calculator.
| Zone | What it ships |
|---|---|
| Sriperumbudur | Auto components and finished vehicles |
| Oragadam | Auto manufacturing and heavy engineering |
| Ambattur Industrial Estate | FMCG, garments, electronics, light manufacturing |
| Guindy | Pharma, engineering, precision manufacturing |
| Manali | Chemicals, petroleum, heavy industry |
| Perungudi and OMR | IT hardware and commercial equipment |
| Koyambedu | Wholesale FMCG, agri products, retail distribution |
Availability depends on the exact address and the route. Call 72020 45678 to confirm before booking.
Smaller vehicles from specific zones: Tata Ace for rent in Chennai, Chota Hathi in Ambattur, tempo service in Guindy. Or hire a truck in Chennai for a one-off.
Payment splits three ways. The Booking Amount confirms the vehicle. The remaining advance falls due at loading, which brings you to 90 per cent of the freight. The balance clears before unloading at the far end.
NEFT, IMPS, UPI including PhonePe and GPay, and major cards. No cash at any stage.
Included in the rate: the full vehicle for your consignment with no co-loading, a verified truck with RC, fitness certificate and driver documentation checked before listing, GPS tracking through transit, a digital Lorry Receipt at dispatch, a GST invoice with full tax breakup after delivery, and e-way bill support for eligible consignments subject to applicable GST rules and exemptions.
Yours to arrange: loading and unloading labour at both ends, and transit insurance if the consignment value warrants it. Worth saying plainly rather than letting you find out at the pickup point.
Enclosed transport for goods that need protecting on a long run: container truck transport.
Intercity FTL only, above 100 km. No part load, no parcel or courier, no household shifting, no vehicle transport, and no within-city delivery inside Chennai. If your movement is any of those, a different kind of operator will serve you better.
How do I book a truck from Chennai?
Enter Chennai, your destination, cargo type and weight on TruckGuru.co.in or the Android app. Pick a vehicle, review the rate, pay the Booking Amount. Driver and vehicle details follow before dispatch.
Which truck should I book from Chennai?
Go by weight. Up to 1,100 kg a Tata Ace, up to 1.5T a Bada Dost, up to 3.5T a 14FT Eicher, up to 6.5T a 20FT container, above that a 32FT. Book a container rather than an open body when the cargo needs protecting.
What does Chennai to Bangalore cost?
A 14FT Eicher over roughly 347 km works out to Rs.14,757 to Rs.15,145. Other vehicles scale with the per-km rate in the table above.
How are Chennai freight rates calculated?
Distance multiplied by the per-km rate for your vehicle, which runs from Rs.26 for a Tata Ace to Rs.91 for a 32FT container at the heaviest tier. The figure confirmed at booking is the figure for your trip.
Which Chennai pickup zones are covered?
Sriperumbudur, Oragadam, Ambattur, Guindy, Manali, Perungudi, OMR and Koyambedu. Call 72020 45678 to confirm for a specific address.
Can I get a truck the same day from Chennai?
It depends on the corridor, the date and the vehicle. Shorter lanes like Chennai to Bangalore turn around faster than long ones, but same-day is not guaranteed on any route. Call 72020 45678 to check your date.
Is toll included in the Chennai rate?
Toll treatment is confirmed with your rate before dispatch, so the position is clear before the truck moves rather than after delivery. Call 72020 45678 for your specific route.
What documents come with the booking?
A digital Lorry Receipt at dispatch, a GST invoice after delivery with the full tax breakup, e-way bill support for eligible consignments subject to applicable GST rules and exemptions, and a delivery receipt after drop-off.
Can I track the truck?
Yes, through the TruckGuru Android app from dispatch to delivery. You also get the driver's direct number at confirmation, which is usually quicker for a question mid-transit.
Do you carry part load from Chennai?
No. FTL only. One truck, one shipper, one consignment.
Call 72020 45678 or book at truckguru.co.in. Support Monday to Saturday 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, Sunday 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM.

Live tracking
Once your shipment moves, its position updates live on the map. Share the tracking link with your buyer or warehouse so unloading is planned before the truck arrives.
“We ship auto components from our Pune plant to distributors in eight states. Earlier every dispatch meant three or four calls to brokers just to get a rate. Now we check the fare online, confirm the truck, and track it on GPS till delivery. Our team saves close to two hours on every booking.”
“Our textile unit in Surat moves fifteen to twenty truckloads a month to retailers across South India. TruckGuru gave us one dashboard to book, one number to call, and the GST invoice reaches us the same day. Rates are competitive with no surprise charges at delivery, and that consistency matters when you ship every week.”
“We run a packaging materials unit in Ahmedabad and dispatch to factories across Maharashtra and Rajasthan. What sold us on TruckGuru was the rate transparency. The price we saw online was the price we paid, with no broker markup and nothing added at the weighbridge. Fourteen months in and we have not had a single billing dispute.”
“I handle procurement for a pharma distributor in Hyderabad and our cargo needs careful handling. TruckGuru gives us a coordinator who checks that every truck is clean and covered before loading. The digital LR and POD reach my inbox before the driver leaves the drop point, which saves us a lot during audits.”

We cover the full range of FTL intercity loads:
Not sure which one fits? Tell us the weight and type of goods, our team will recommend the right truck.
FTL means the entire truck carries only your goods. It picks up from your location and goes directly to the destination, no stops to consolidate other shipments, no detours. This is the right choice when you have enough volume to fill, or mostly fill, a truck, or when transit time matters.
Yes. Every truck on our platform carries GPS. Once your shipment moves, you can see its exact location from the app, no need to call the driver every few hours. You can also share the tracking link with your buyer or warehouse team so they know when to expect the delivery and can plan unloading accordingly.
Yes. Select your dispatch date when placing the booking and we will arrange the truck for that day. Advance booking helps during peak seasons, October through December, when festival demand and year-end dispatches tighten truck availability.
Yes. If you need to collect goods from more than one location or deliver to multiple destinations in a single trip, mention the stops when placing your booking. Our team will plan the route and confirm the fare covering all points before dispatch.
You can cancel before vehicle and driver details are shared, no charge applies. Once we assign a truck and share the details, the booking amount is non-refundable because the driver has already committed time and fuel.
Our truck fare covers transportation only. Loading, unloading, and packing are arranged separately at your end. If you need help finding labour at a specific location, reach out to our team, we can usually connect you with someone in the area who handles it regularly.
Payment is split into three parts: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading, Balance due before unloading begins. We accept NEFT, IMPS, UPI (PhonePe, GPay), and major debit and credit cards. No cash payments are accepted.
Yes. Toll charges are included in the quoted freight rate on all intercity routes. You will not receive a separate toll bill after delivery. The rate confirmed at booking covers the full point-to-point movement.
We transport commercial and industrial goods including machinery, raw materials, FMCG products, textiles, auto parts, building materials, electronics, and agricultural produce. We do not transport household belongings for relocation, hazardous materials requiring special permits, or any restricted goods under Indian transport regulations.
A GST-compliant invoice is generated and sent to your registered email once the consignment is delivered. The Lorry Receipt (LR) is shared at the time of dispatch. Proof of Delivery (POD) is sent digitally after unloading is complete. If your accounts team needs a specific format or a consolidated monthly statement for multiple shipments, write to cs@truckguru.co.in.
The first 2 hours after the truck arrives at your location are free. After that, waiting charges range from Rs.1,000 to Rs.5,000 per day depending on the vehicle type. Keep your goods and paperwork, including GST invoice, e-Way Bill, and packing list, ready before the truck arrives to avoid delays.
GST on goods transport applies under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) at 5%. This means the shipper is responsible for filing and paying the GST on the transport service, not TruckGuru. Our invoices are GST-compliant and include all the details your accounts team needs for filing.
The consignor or consignee must generate Part A and Part B of the e-Way Bill before goods move. This is mandatory under GST rules for consignments valued above Rs.50,000. TruckGuru does not generate the e-Way Bill on your behalf, but our team can guide you through the process if needed.
Report any damage at the time of delivery to our team at +91-7202045678 with photographs taken before unloading. We investigate each claim on a case-by-case basis. We strongly recommend that shippers arrange their own transit insurance for high-value consignments, as TruckGuru's liability is limited to the terms agreed at the time of booking.
No. TruckGuru provides full truckload (FTL) intercity goods transport only. We do not handle parcels, courier shipments, bike transport, car transport, household shifting, or within-city local deliveries. If you need these services, we recommend contacting a specialist provider in your city.
Call +91-7202045678 or email cs@truckguru.co.in. Our customer support team is available Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and Sunday 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM. For booking queries, you can also use the website or the TruckGuru app on the Play Store. TruckGuru does not share your contact details with any outside agencies.
Start with the weight and dimensions of your goods, not the truck size. A 2-ton textile shipment from Surat to Mumbai fits comfortably in an Eicher 14FT (3.5T capacity, Rs.31-35/km). Picking the wrong truck size is the most common reason shippers overpay on freight.
Get your rate confirmed before the truck is dispatched. On TruckGuru, the price you see at booking is the price you pay. The split is simple: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading, Balance due before unloading. If a platform or broker revises the rate at the loading dock, that is a red flag.
Check whether the transporter provides live GPS tracking and digital documentation including LR, invoice, and POD. Chasing a driver by phone for location updates wastes hours every trip. On busy corridors like Ahmedabad-Mumbai or Delhi-Jaipur, a single delayed update can throw off your warehouse unloading schedule.
Book 2-3 days ahead when possible. Same-day availability is common on most routes, but during October-December peak season, trucks on high-demand corridors fill up fast. Advance booking also gives you better vehicle options for goods that need closed-body or containerised transport.
