Service: Full Truckload (FTL) intercity only | Load capacity: Up to 750 kg | Coverage: 110+ cities across India
The Tata Ace is India's most widely used mini truck for commercial freight. At 750 kg load capacity, it fits where larger trucks cannot -- narrow industrial lanes, congested market areas, gated warehouses with height restrictions. For businesses running regular small consignments between cities, it is significantly cheaper per trip than booking a larger truck with unused capacity.
TruckGuru connects businesses with verified Tata Ace owners across 110+ cities for full truckload (FTL) intercity bookings. Every booking is exclusive -- the vehicle is yours from pickup to delivery, with no other goods sharing the load. Check rates on the freight calculator or call 72020 45678.

The Tata Ace works best for businesses that ship regularly but in smaller volumes. Trying to fill a 14ft truck with 500 kg of goods is an unnecessary cost. Common cargo types on intercity routes:
Commercial goods only. Vehicles, bikes, cars, and automobiles of any kind are not transported. The Tata Ace is not suitable for household shifting -- it is booked for commercial and industrial consignments only.

Booking a Tata Ace instead of a larger truck for a 500 kg consignment saves money on every trip. TruckGuru shows the Tata Ace rate alongside larger options so you can compare before confirming -- not after the truck is already dispatched.
Every Tata Ace listed on TruckGuru goes through document and registration verification before being made available. Drivers are checked before their first booking. No unregistered operators. The Tata Ace is the most commonly available truck on the platform -- most bookings in major cities are confirmed within 1-2 hours.
GPS tracking is live on every dispatched booking through the TruckGuru app. You also receive the driver's direct number at the time of confirmation -- useful for coordinating delivery timing with a receiver who has a tight window.
Every booking is FTL -- your goods travel alone from pickup to delivery. No other shipper's consignment shares the vehicle. This matters for pharmaceutical samples and high-value commercial goods where mixing loads is not acceptable.
For the next size up, see Chota Hathi on rent (1.5 tonnes) or Eicher truck rental for loads between 4 and 7 tonnes. The truck type guide compares all available vehicles side by side. For tempo bookings covering the Tata Ace and Bada Dost range, see tempo service.
The Tata Ace carries up to 750 kg. It is the smallest truck type on TruckGuru and is most suited for short to medium distance intercity routes with small commercial consignments. For loads between 750 kg and 1.5 tonnes, the Bada Dost is the right step up.
Chota Hathi is the popular name used for mini trucks generally -- it is not a specific model. The Tata Ace is the most common vehicle referred to as Chota Hathi. The Bada Dost is a separate, slightly larger vehicle with 1.5 tonne load capacity, also sometimes called Chota Hathi in informal usage. On TruckGuru, the Tata Ace and Bada Dost are listed separately with their correct load capacities.
TruckGuru prices Tata Ace bookings per trip, not per km. Rates start from Rs. 2,000 for short distance routes under 150 km and go up to Rs. 14,000 for routes beyond 500 km. Use the freight calculator for a specific quote on your route.
Yes. TruckGuru offers Tata Ace bookings for FTL intercity routes across India. The vehicle is exclusively yours from pickup to delivery. Part load or shared bookings are not offered on any truck type.
Yes. The enclosed body protects pharmaceutical samples and medical supplies from weather and contamination during transit. For regulated pharmaceutical goods requiring a specific temperature range, you will need a dedicated temperature-controlled vehicle -- the standard Tata Ace does not have refrigeration.
Same-day pickup depends on truck availability in your zone. The Tata Ace is the most commonly available truck type on TruckGuru -- same-day dispatch is possible in most major cities if you book before noon. Call 72020 45678 to confirm before booking.
No. Toll charges are paid separately by the shipper during transit. The base freight rate covers the truck, driver, and fuel only. Call 72020 45678 for a toll estimate on your specific route.
You need an invoice or delivery challan for your consignment. If your goods require an e-way bill under GST rules -- applicable for goods worth more than Rs. 50,000 moving across state borders -- that needs to be generated before loading. The truck owner handles vehicle permits and insurance.
The freight rate for your route is on the site before you commit. Check it on the freight calculator, confirm the booking online, or call 72020 45678 for same-day availability or city-specific requirements.
Serving leading enterprises, government organizations, manufacturers, retailers, and industrial businesses with reliable truck transportation services across India.

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.”

We cover the full range of FTL intercity loads:
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.
