Book Tata AceMedchal is where the NH44 leaves Hyderabad for the north
Anything going from Hyderabad towards Nizamabad, Adilabad or Nagpur passes Medchal. That is why the area has filled up with godowns, logistics parks and manufacturing units along the highway: a vehicle loading here is already out of the city and pointed north. For small lots, a mini truck (a Tata Ace, also called Chota Hathi) on rent in Medchal gets those goods on the road without a single traffic signal in the way.
TruckGuru books the Ace-class vehicle with driver for intercity trips over 100 km. The vehicle carries only your consignment and goes direct to the receiver. City deliveries around Hyderabad are not something we take.
North-bound lanes and what to expect on them
| From Medchal to | Road distance | Notes |
| Karimnagar | about 140 km | Via Siddipet, same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day |
| Nizamabad | about 150 km | Straight up the NH44, same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day |
| Nirmal | about 200 km | Same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day; ghat section after Nirmal slows larger trucks |
| Nanded | about 250 km | Into Maharashtra via Bodhan side |
| Adilabad | about 280 km | 1 day |
| Nagpur | about 480 km | 1 day, driver halt usually needed |
Distances are to the city centre; a drop on the far side of a town adds a little.
A note on the October to January season
North Telangana and Vidarbha are cotton country. From October to January, ginning season pulls vehicles of every size onto the Adilabad and Nagpur side, and small goods vehicles returning south get snapped up quickly. If you ship to Adilabad or Nagpur in those months, book a couple of days ahead and keep your loading time firm. Outside the season, a day's notice is usually enough.
What fits, and when to go bigger
An open Ace takes up to 1,100 kg. A closed-body Bada Dost takes up to 1.5 ton. The typical Medchal lot we see is cartons of FMCG or packaged food heading to a distributor, spares for a plant up north, or a small batch of building hardware. For Nagpur, which is almost 500 km, check whether a 14FT Eicher at 3.5 ton would carry a combined order better; the truck size guide lists what each class holds, and tempo service covers similar small vehicles.
Rates from Medchal
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. On this lane, season matters as much as distance.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.

How it runs once you book
Use the website or the TruckGuru app. We call back within 30 minutes during working hours, Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM and Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM. A digital Lorry Receipt is issued at loading. The vehicle is GPS tracked to delivery, and the GST invoice comes after. You arrange loading and unloading labour, and transit insurance if needed. For goods worth more than Rs.50,000 the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill. For Nagpur-side bookings in the other direction, see hire truck in Nagpur.
Medchal shippers ask
Can I get an Ace from Medchal to Nizamabad today?
Often yes, if you book in the morning. It is about 150 km, so same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day.
What does a Chota Hathi (mini truck) to Nagpur cost?
An Ace from Medchal to Nagpur, about 480 km, is indicatively Rs.12,500 - Rs.13,900 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
Will it reach Nagpur the same day?
Usually within 1 day. An early-morning start helps, and a driver halt may push it to the next morning.
Can you deliver to Kompally or Secunderabad?
No. Those are inside the Hyderabad area. We book only trips over 100 km.
Is an e-way bill needed for Nagpur?
Yes, for goods worth over Rs.50,000 going into Maharashtra. The consignor or consignee generates it.
My cartons are 1,300 kg. Which vehicle?
A closed-body Bada Dost, rated up to 1.5 ton. An open Ace takes only up to 1,100 kg.
Who loads and unloads?
You arrange the labour at both ends. The driver ties and covers the load.
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 use the Ace for a personal move to Adilabad?
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.
How do I track it?
GPS tracking runs from dispatch to delivery, and the app shows the live location.
