When a Guindy unit has 2 to 3 tons to send, somebody usually says "book a 407". The Tata 407 has been the name for this size of truck in Chennai for decades, even though most operators now run 14ft Eichers and similar models in the same class. On TruckGuru, the 407-class job goes in a 14ft truck with 3.5 ton load capacity: a little more space and weight than the old 407, at a similar fare.
We rent it from Guindy for intercity trips of 100 km or more.
| Route | Distance | 14ft truck trip fare |
| Guindy to Tirupati | about 150 km | Rs.7,800 - Rs.8,400 |
| Guindy to Salem | about 340 km | Rs.13,600 - Rs.15,000 |
| Guindy to Madurai | about 460 km | Rs.17,400 - Rs.19,200 |
| Guindy to Kochi | about 690 km | Rs.24,500 - Rs.27,200 |
Toll is included. For other routes, check the freight calculator.
It suits loads between about 1.5 and 3.5 ton. Below 1.5 ton, a Tata Ace or Bada Dost is cheaper. Above 3.5 ton, a 20ft truck with 6.5 ton capacity costs less per ton.
In Guindy, typical loads in this range are a set of electric motors for a pump dealer in Salem, a small panel order for a contractor in Madurai, or printed stationery for schools in Tirupati.
Guindy Industrial Estate's internal roads are older and narrower than newer SIPCOT parks. A 14ft truck fits most lanes, which is one reason it is popular here. Bigger trucks sometimes cannot reach older sheds.
Share the shed number and the road name. For heavy items such as motors, arrange a forklift or chain block at your end, since the truck does not carry loading equipment.
The Tata 407 was the workhorse of Chennai's small freight for years. It was easy to drive in city lanes and cheap to run. Over time, operators found that a 14ft body carried more cartons per trip for almost the same running cost, and newer models handle highway speeds better. Most fleets on Chennai's intercity routes made the switch.
For you, the practical effect is simple: ask for a 407, and you get a truck that takes the same load with a little room to spare. The fare is set for the 14ft class, and it includes toll.
Many 407-class loads from Guindy are mixed: a few motors, some cartons of spares, a panel or two. Put the heaviest items, like motors, on the floor near the cabin and bolt them to skids. Stack cartons behind them, and stand panels against the side wall with padding. Tie everything down. On the way to Madurai or Kochi, the truck brakes hard many times, and an untied motor can slide into cartons and crush them.
City rules restrict heavy goods vehicles on many Chennai roads during the day. A 14ft truck loaded in the afternoon leaves Guindy after 9 pm and reaches Salem or Madurai by early morning. For Tirupati, an early morning loading gets the truck out before traffic builds.
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.
For bigger trucks from the estate, see transport service in Guindy. The truck size guide compares all bodies.

Live tracking
Once your shipment moves, its position updates live on the map. Share the tracking link with your buyer or warehouse so unloading is planned before the truck arrives.
“We ship auto components from our Pune plant to distributors in eight states. Earlier every dispatch meant three or four calls to brokers just to get a rate. Now we check the fare online, confirm the truck, and track it on GPS till delivery. Our team saves close to two hours on every booking.”
“Our textile unit in Surat moves fifteen to twenty truckloads a month to retailers across South India. TruckGuru gave us one dashboard to book, one number to call, and the GST invoice reaches us the same day. Rates are competitive with no surprise charges at delivery, and that consistency matters when you ship every week.”
“We run a packaging materials unit in Ahmedabad and dispatch to factories across Maharashtra and Rajasthan. What sold us on TruckGuru was the rate transparency. The price we saw online was the price we paid, with no broker markup and nothing added at the weighbridge. Fourteen months in and we have not had a single billing dispute.”
“I handle procurement for a pharma distributor in Hyderabad and our cargo needs careful handling. TruckGuru gives us a coordinator who checks that every truck is clean and covered before loading. The digital LR and POD reach my inbox before the driver leaves the drop point, which saves us a lot during audits.”

Not sure which one fits? Tell us the weight and type of goods, our team will recommend the right truck.
FTL means the entire truck carries only your goods. It picks up from your location and goes directly to the destination, no stops to consolidate other shipments, no detours. This is the right choice when you have enough volume to fill, or mostly fill, a truck, or when transit time matters.
Yes. Every truck on our platform carries GPS. Once your shipment moves, you can see its exact location from the app, no need to call the driver every few hours. You can also share the tracking link with your buyer or warehouse team so they know when to expect the delivery and can plan unloading accordingly.
Yes. Select your dispatch date when placing the booking and we will arrange the truck for that day. Advance booking helps during peak seasons, October through December, when festival demand and year-end dispatches tighten truck availability.
Yes. If you need to collect goods from more than one location or deliver to multiple destinations in a single trip, mention the stops when placing your booking. Our team will plan the route and confirm the fare covering all points before dispatch.
You can cancel before vehicle and driver details are shared, no charge applies. Once we assign a truck and share the details, the booking amount is non-refundable because the driver has already committed time and fuel.
Our truck fare covers transportation only. Loading, unloading, and packing are arranged separately at your end. If you need help finding labour at a specific location, reach out to our team, we can usually connect you with someone in the area who handles it regularly.
Payment is split into three parts: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading, Balance due before unloading begins. We accept NEFT, IMPS, UPI (PhonePe, GPay), and major debit and credit cards. No cash payments are accepted.
Yes. Toll charges are included in the quoted freight rate on all intercity routes. You will not receive a separate toll bill after delivery. The rate confirmed at booking covers the full point-to-point movement.
We transport commercial and industrial goods including machinery, raw materials, FMCG products, textiles, auto parts, building materials, electronics, and agricultural produce. We do not transport household belongings for relocation, hazardous materials requiring special permits, or any restricted goods under Indian transport regulations.
A GST-compliant invoice is generated and sent to your registered email once the consignment is delivered. The Lorry Receipt (LR) is shared at the time of dispatch. Proof of Delivery (POD) is sent digitally after unloading is complete. If your accounts team needs a specific format or a consolidated monthly statement for multiple shipments, write to cs@truckguru.co.in.
The first 2 hours after the truck arrives at your location are free. After that, waiting charges range from Rs.1,000 to Rs.5,000 per day depending on the vehicle type. Keep your goods and paperwork, including GST invoice, e-Way Bill, and packing list, ready before the truck arrives to avoid delays.
GST on goods transport applies under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) at 5%. This means the shipper is responsible for filing and paying the GST on the transport service, not TruckGuru. Our invoices are GST-compliant and include all the details your accounts team needs for filing.
The consignor or consignee must generate Part A and Part B of the e-Way Bill before goods move. This is mandatory under GST rules for consignments valued above Rs.50,000. TruckGuru does not generate the e-Way Bill on your behalf, but our team can guide you through the process if needed.
Report any damage at the time of delivery to our team at +91-7202045678 with photographs taken before unloading. We investigate each claim on a case-by-case basis. We strongly recommend that shippers arrange their own transit insurance for high-value consignments, as TruckGuru's liability is limited to the terms agreed at the time of booking.
No. TruckGuru provides full truckload (FTL) intercity goods transport only. We do not handle parcels, courier shipments, bike transport, car transport, household shifting, or within-city local deliveries. If you need these services, we recommend contacting a specialist provider in your city.
Call +91-7202045678 or email cs@truckguru.co.in. Our customer support team is available Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM, and Sunday 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM. For booking queries, you can also use the website or the TruckGuru app on the Play Store. TruckGuru does not share your contact details with any outside agencies.
Start with the weight and dimensions of your goods, not the truck size. A 2-ton textile shipment from Surat to Mumbai fits comfortably in an Eicher 14FT (3.5T capacity, Rs.31-35/km). Picking the wrong truck size is the most common reason shippers overpay on freight.
Get your rate confirmed before the truck is dispatched. On TruckGuru, the price you see at booking is the price you pay. The split is simple: Booking Amount at booking confirmation, 90% at loading, Balance due before unloading. If a platform or broker revises the rate at the loading dock, that is a red flag.
Check whether the transporter provides live GPS tracking and digital documentation including LR, invoice, and POD. Chasing a driver by phone for location updates wastes hours every trip. On busy corridors like Ahmedabad-Mumbai or Delhi-Jaipur, a single delayed update can throw off your warehouse unloading schedule.
Book 2-3 days ahead when possible. Same-day availability is common on most routes, but during October-December peak season, trucks on high-demand corridors fill up fast. Advance booking also gives you better vehicle options for goods that need closed-body or containerised transport.
