Book Tata AceOnions, potatoes and 2.5 ton lots
Yeswanthpur means the APMC yard to most people who call us. Commission agents and traders there buy onion, potato, grain and pulses in bulk and resell to smaller wholesalers across Karnataka and Andhra. Many of those buyers take 40 to 50 bags at a time, which lands right around the 2.5 ton a Tata 407 carries. That is the load we book most often from here.
A Tata 407 on rent in Yeswanthpur through TruckGuru comes with a driver and carries one trader's consignment, direct to the buyer's shop or godown in another town over 100 km away. We do not do runs inside Bangalore.
Produce needs a few extra steps
Onions sweat in a closed, crowded deck. Potatoes bruise when stacked too high. Grain and pulses must stay dry. A few things we suggest to APMC shippers:
- Load in the evening or early morning so the goods travel in cooler hours
- Keep a tarpaulin over the top but leave the sides breathing for onions
- Count the bags and give us the weight per bag, not an estimate of the total
- For monsoon months, cover everything and ask for a vehicle with a sound floor
Hamali labour at the yard is arranged by the trader, as is unloading at the buyer's end. Transit insurance, if you want it, is also yours to take.
Towns this yard feeds
North and west, along the Karnataka interior, and across the border into Andhra Pradesh:
| Buyer town | About | Hours by 407 |
| Hassan | 180 km | 4-5 |
| Chitradurga | 195 km | 4-5 |
| Anantapur | 210 km | 5-6 |
| Ballari | 310 km | 7-8 |
| Kurnool | 360 km | 9-10 |
Anantapur and Kurnool are interstate trips. Fresh fruits and vegetables do not need an e-way bill, but grain, pulses and packed goods above 50,000 rupees in value usually do. If in doubt, check with your accountant before the vehicle arrives, because the driver cannot leave the yard without the right papers.
Our view on timing: the Anantapur lane moves fast on NH 44, so a load leaving Yeswanthpur at 10 PM reaches the Anantapur market before it opens. The Ballari side is slower and better started in the afternoon.
Bigger lots and smaller lots
Twenty bags or less, about a tonne: a Tata Ace at up to 1,100 kg is enough. Three to seven ton goes on a 14FT or 19FT Eicher. A full truckload of grain for a mill usually moves in a 32FT container or a large open truck. See truck types for the body styles.
Tata 407 rates from Yeswanthpur
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. At harvest time, when arrivals at the yard peak, small vehicles get booked fast; ask for your 407 a day early in those weeks.
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.
What APMC traders ask
How many onion bags go in a 407?
By weight, about 2.5 ton. With 50 kg bags, that is roughly 50 bags. Tell us the bag weight and count and we confirm.
Can the vehicle come inside the APMC yard?
Yes, if the yard allows the vehicle at your shop. Give us the shop number and the gate you use.
Do you give hamali labour?
No. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by the trader.
Is an e-way bill needed for onions?
Fresh vegetables are generally exempt. Grain, pulses and packed goods above 50,000 rupees usually need one. The consignor or consignee generates it.
Can I book to Tumakuru?
No, it is under 100 km. We book intercity trips over 100 km only.
Will other traders' goods be on the same vehicle?
No. The 407 carries only your consignment.
How fast will you confirm?
Within 30 minutes in working hours: Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM. For a night dispatch, book during the day.
What are the payment terms?
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.
Can the buyer see where the 407 is?
Yes. GPS tracking runs from dispatch to delivery.
Do I get a bill for the freight?
Yes. A digital Lorry Receipt at loading and a GST invoice after delivery.
Why is the rate higher this week?
Rates are not fixed. Harvest arrivals and vehicle demand push them up and down. Check the live rate before you book.
