Tata Ace
Live rate at booking
Book Tata AceTirupati is better known for its temple than its factories, but the trucks we book here mostly load at industrial sites. The electronics manufacturing clusters around Renigunta assemble TVs, displays and mobile components. The battery plants near Karakambadi ship automotive and industrial batteries across India. To the north-east, toward the Tamil Nadu border, Sri City hosts food, appliance, auto and consumer goods factories that load trucks every day.
TruckGuru books full trucks with driver from all of these locations for trips above 100 km.
What goes in which truck
Electronics and appliances are light for their size and expensive, so they almost always go in a closed container. A 20ft container (about 6.5 tonnes) or a 32ft container (7 to 18 tonnes) keeps cartons dry, sealed and out of sight. Batteries are the opposite: heavy, dense, and treated as dangerous goods in some cases. Share the battery type and the packing list at booking so we assign the right truck.
For smaller lots, a Tata Ace carries up to 1,100 kg and a Bada Dost up to 1.5 tonnes in a closed body. A 14ft Eicher at about 3.5 tonnes is the usual middle choice. See the container truck options for body sizes.

Chennai is close enough that a truck loaded in Renigunta before noon can reach a Chennai warehouse the same afternoon. For Hyderabad, plan for the truck to reach on the second day; the road is good, but most consignees do not unload late at night.
Sri City or Renigunta: plan the pickup differently
Sri City sits near the Tamil Nadu border, much closer to Chennai than to Tirupati town. A trip from Sri City to Chennai is under 100 km, which is local transport and outside what TruckGuru books. Sri City loads going to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune or further are what we handle.
Renigunta and Karakambadi are next to Tirupati, about 140 km from Chennai, so Chennai trips from there are within our range. Trucks reach these units easily from the Tirupati side, and many drivers are based nearby, which helps when you need a truck at short notice.
For both locations, large factories run fixed dispatch slots. Tell us the slot when you book. A truck that turns up outside the slot can wait for hours at the gate, and detention charges may apply.
Truck rates from Tirupati
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. Trucks going to Chennai are easy to find; for long trips north, book a day or two ahead.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.

Booking, tracking and payment
Book online, in the TruckGuru app, or on 72020 45678. The driver calls you within 30 minutes of confirmation. GPS tracking runs from your gate to the consignee's. Every trip gets a digital LR and a GST invoice, and goods worth more than Rs.50,000 need an e-way bill. Factories at Sri City and Renigunta usually need vehicle and driver details in advance for the gate pass; we send them as soon as the truck is assigned.
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.
