Live rate at booking
Book Tata AceTruckGuru's office is in Vadodara, so this is a route we see from the receiving end. Trucks from Dehradun arrive at Makarpura, Waghodia and Savli after 2 - 3 days on the road. The distance is about 1,250 km: down to Delhi's peripheral expressways, then NH-48 through Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur and Ahmedabad.
We book full truckload only. One truck, one consignment, from your gate in Dehradun to your consignee in Vadodara.
Two pharma towns, one route
Dehradun and Vadodara are both pharma towns, and a lot of this route is trade between them. Vadodara plants in Nandesari, Padra and Savli supply APIs and chemicals to formulation units in Selaqui, and finished products and packaging go the other way. On top of that, FMCG and packaged food from Dehradun's Haridwar road units go to Gujarat depots, and basmati rice goes to Vadodara and Ahmedabad wholesalers.
Vadodara also works as a gateway for Gujarat. Stock that lands at a Waghodia or Por warehouse often moves on to Bharuch, Ankleshwar and Surat within a day or two.
Trucks and trip fares
| Truck | Load capacity | Trip fare (toll included) |
| 14ft Eicher | 3.5 ton | Rs.41,800 - Rs.46,800 |
| 20ft truck | 6.5 ton | Rs.55,200 - Rs.60,200 |
| 32ft container | 7-8 ton | Rs.75,800 - Rs.79,500 |
| 32ft container | 16 ton | Rs.1,05,500 - Rs.1,14,200 |
| 32ft container | 18 ton | Rs.1,12,800 - Rs.1,20,200 |
Toll is included. The final fare depends on the pickup location in Dehradun, the delivery pin code in Vadodara and the loading date. Use the freight calculator to confirm it. For pharma cartons, a closed body is the usual choice; the container truck page has the options.
Pickup and delivery areas
Dehradun pickups: Selaqui industrial area and SEZ, Langha Road, Patel Nagar, Mohabbewala, Doiwala and Vikasnagar. See truck hire in Dehradun.
Vadodara deliveries: Makarpura GIDC, Waghodia, Savli, Por, Nandesari, Padra, Halol and Manjusar. We also deliver direct to Ankleshwar and Bharuch if that is your single drop. The Vadodara truck hire page covers loads going back.
What decides the transit time
The Jaipur to Udaipur stretch through the Aravallis slows loaded trucks, and the Shamlaji border check post between Rajasthan and Gujarat can hold a truck for an hour or two. Neither is a big delay on its own.
The bigger factor is the start. If the Dehradun pickup slips to the evening, the truck hits Delhi's peripheral expressway at night and loses less time, which is why many shippers prefer a late afternoon loading on this route.
During Navratri and Diwali in Gujarat, many drivers head home and truck availability drops. For October dispatches, book 3 to 4 days ahead.
One large truck or two smaller ones
Shippers moving 12 to 14 tons often ask whether to book two 20ft trucks or one 16 ton container. On this route, one 32ft container with 16 ton load capacity costs Rs.1,05,500 to Rs.1,14,200. Two 20ft trucks cost Rs.1,10,400 to Rs.1,20,400 together. The single container is cheaper, needs one gate pass and one unloading slot, and arrives as one consignment.
Two trucks make sense only when the load goes to two different consignees, or when the Vadodara plant cannot place a 32ft vehicle at its dock. Some older units in Makarpura have tight yards, so check with your consignee before booking the larger truck.
Selaqui plants load mostly between 9 am and 6 pm. Keep the invoice, e-way bill and packing list ready before the truck reaches the gate, since many plants do not let a truck wait inside the premises.
How to book

E-way bill validity for 1,250 km is 7 days, enough for this trip even with delays.
