Book Tata AceTwenty kilometres to the border
From Bommasandra to the Attibele border is about a twenty-minute drive when the road is clear. Being that close shapes how Hosur Road ships. Most of the small consignments we book here are headed into Tamil Nadu, and the paperwork and timing have to be right before the Ace leaves the gate, not at the border. TruckGuru's mini truck on rent in Hosur Road means a Tata Ace (also called Chota Hathi) with driver for intercity trips over 100 km. One consignment per vehicle, no stops for other customers.
What the Hosur Road belt sends out
The stretch from Bommanahalli past Electronics City to Bommasandra, Jigani and Attibele is lined with auto-component suppliers, sheet metal shops, garment units and pharma packaging firms. The Ace loads we see most often:
- Stampings, brackets and fasteners for automotive customers around Chennai
- Garment cartons from Bommanahalli units for buyers in Tirupur and Coimbatore
- Printed cartons and labels for pharma and FMCG plants in Salem
- Spare parts and service kits for dealers in Madurai
A Tata Ace takes up to 1,100 kg. A closed-body Bada Dost carries up to 1.5 ton and is better for garments and printed material. Loads above that go on a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton). Compare body types on our truck type page.
The border and the e-way bill
Every Hosur Road to Tamil Nadu trip is interstate. For goods above 50,000 rupees, the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill before dispatch. If the bill is missing or the vehicle number on it is wrong, the Ace can be held on the road. Check the vehicle number we send on the callback and put that exact number in the bill.
Short.
That is the most common reason a Hosur Road consignment gets delayed, and it is fully in the shipper's hands.
Lanes, times and indicative fares
Transit by Ace: Salem about 190 km, same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early, otherwise next day; Chennai about 330 km, 1 day; Coimbatore about 350 km, 1 day; Madurai about 430 km, 1 day. The Krishnagiri stretch runs heavy with container trucks in the evening. A 5 AM start avoids most of it.
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. Coimbatore and Tirupur lanes get busy in the weeks before Pongal when garment buyers restock.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.

How the booking runs
Enter pickup, drop, weight and date online. We call back within 30 minutes during working hours (Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM). A digital Lorry Receipt is issued at loading, the Ace is GPS tracked to delivery and the GST invoice follows. Loading labour and transit insurance are arranged by you. We do not run deliveries inside Bengaluru or to Hosur town, which is under 100 km.
Receivers in Coimbatore or Chennai sending goods back can book through hire truck in Coimbatore or hire truck in Chennai. The Mini truck (Chota Hathi) on rent page covers other cities.
Hosur Road customers ask us
Can you pick up from Bommasandra for Chennai tonight?
Night dispatch is possible if you book early enough in working hours. Share the gate timing and whether the receiver accepts morning delivery.
Can I send 300 kg from Jigani to Hosur SIPCOT?
No. That trip is well under 100 km. We only book intercity loads.
What happens at the Attibele border?
With a correct e-way bill and invoice, the Ace crosses without trouble. Make sure the vehicle number on the bill matches the one we send.
What does a mini truck to Salem cost?
A mini truck from Hosur Road to Salem, about 190 km, is indicatively Rs.4,900 - Rs.5,500 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
My garments must stay dry. What vehicle?
Book a closed-body Bada Dost, up to 1.5 ton. It is locked and covered.
Is Madurai possible in one day?
About 430 km, usually delivered within 1 day by Ace. A 5 AM start helps.
Do you provide loaders?
No. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by you at both ends.
Is transit insurance included?
No. The customer arranges transit insurance if they want cover.
Can I send my own things to Coimbatore in a Chota Hathi (mini truck)?
Our trucks mostly carry business loads. For a one-off household move to another city, we can supply the truck and driver. Packing, loading and unloading are arranged by you.
What are the payment terms?
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.
Can I track the vehicle after it crosses into Tamil Nadu?
Yes. The Ace is GPS tracked from dispatch to delivery, on both sides of the border.
