Tata Ace
Live rate at booking
Book Tata AceA wholesaler's truck, not a city delivery van
A Burrabazar stockist restocking a dealer in Durgapur. A Howrah foundry sending pump casings to Jamshedpur. A Dankuni FMCG depot topping up a distributor in Kharagpur. None of these fill a big truck, and all of them are over 100 km. That is where a Tata 407 on rent in Kolkata earns its place. TruckGuru books the 407 with driver for intercity trips only, out of Kolkata and Howrah to towns across Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand and Bihar, or into Kolkata from those places.
We do not do deliveries inside Kolkata, Howrah or Salt Lake. Every booking is over 100 km.
Which side of the river you load on matters
Pickups from Howrah, the Dankuni and Uluberia belts, or the depots along NH 16 get onto the highway quickly, and a 407 can leave in daylight without much fuss. Central Kolkata is different. Goods vehicle movement on many city roads is restricted in the day, so pickups from Burrabazar, Posta or the Canning Street area are usually planned for late evening or early morning. Tell us the exact pickup lane at booking and the time the shop can load. The Bantala leather complex and the Taratala industrial pockets fall in between; we plan those case by case.
Lanes that suit a 407 from Kolkata
| To | About | What usually goes |
| Kharagpur | 120 km | FMCG, hardware, electricals |
| Haldia | 125 km | Spares and consumables for port-side plants |
| Durgapur | 170 km | Trade stock, steel fittings |
| Asansol | 210 km | Distributor stock, pipes, sanitary items |
| Jamshedpur | 280 km | Castings, industrial spares |
| Bhubaneswar | 440 km | Jute bags, packaged food, electricals |
| Siliguri | 580 km | Wholesale stock for north Bengal and the Northeast trade |
Siliguri is the long one. By 407 it is about a day and a half with the driver's night halt, and the stretch past Farakka can hold trucks up for hours. Book it with a margin. For Jharkhand and Odisha runs the e-way bill must cover the interstate move.
When to skip the 407
A 407 carries about 2.5 ton. Jute bales and sacks of rice or pulses reach that fast. Steel pipes need deck length the 407 does not have. If either happens, a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton) or 19FT Eicher (7 ton) is the next step, and paper cartons for the monsoon months go better in a container truck. For light parcels of stock under a tonne, the Tata Ace is enough. Our Kolkata truck hire page covers bigger loads from the city.
Paperwork and tracking
The consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill for goods above 50,000 rupees. We issue a digital Lorry Receipt at loading, track the truck by GPS until it reaches the unloading point, and send a GST invoice after delivery. Loading and unloading labour and transit insurance are arranged by you.
Tata 407 rates out of Kolkata
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. In the weeks before Durga Puja, trade stock moves hard out of Burrabazar and small trucks book out; place requests three to four days ahead in September.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.
Current freight rates depend on route, vehicle type, cargo and availability. Check the live rate when booking.
