Tata Ace
Live rate at booking
Book Tata AceA Dehradun to Kolkata truck does not need to go through Delhi. It crosses into western UP at Roorkee or Najibabad, runs east through Moradabad, Bareilly and Lucknow, then joins NH-19 near Varanasi for the last stretch through Bihar, Dhanbad and Durgapur. That is about 1,550 km, and a full truck takes 3 to 4 days.
We book full truckload only. One truck is assigned to your consignment for the whole trip.
What moves on this route
Most of what we carry from Dehradun to Kolkata is medicines and FMCG. Selaqui formulation plants supply C&F agents in Kolkata who distribute across West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar and the North East. Packaged food and personal care stock from the Haridwar road units follow the same path.
Basmati rice also goes east, to Posta Bazar and other wholesale markets in north Kolkata.
Kolkata is the gateway to the east and the North East. A lot of what we deliver to Dankuni is loaded again within a day for Siliguri and Guwahati.

What decides the transit time
The UP section through Moradabad and Lucknow is steady. Delays usually start in Bihar. The Karmnasa border check post between UP and Bihar can hold trucks for 3 to 6 hours, and the Dhanbad to Asansol stretch is slow at night with coal traffic.
Festival timing matters on this route more than most. Durga Puja stocking from mid-September pushes truck demand into Kolkata up sharply. Chhath in October or November takes many Bihar drivers off the road for a week. In those weeks, book 4 to 5 days ahead.
Winter fog across UP and Bihar in December and January also slows night driving. Add half a day.
Loads that go beyond Kolkata
A good share of Kolkata-bound pharma and FMCG is actually meant for Siliguri, Guwahati or the North East. Some shippers unload at Dankuni and re-book the onward leg. Others book a direct truck from Dehradun to Siliguri or Guwahati.
A direct truck saves one unloading and reloading, which cuts the risk of damage and a day of handling. It costs more than the Kolkata trip because of the extra distance, and we quote it separately. If your volume is a full truck for one consignee in Guwahati, the direct booking usually works out better.
If you are going to Kolkata only, share the Dankuni or Uluberia warehouse appointment at booking. Many of these warehouses unload by slot and turn away trucks that arrive late in the day.
The e-way bill for 1,550 km is valid for 8 days, enough for this trip.
For loads to Siliguri, the extra distance from Kolkata is about 580 km. For Guwahati, it is about 1,050 km. Both routes pass through the narrow Siliguri corridor, which slows down in the monsoon. Tell us the final destination at booking and we quote the trip complete.
