Mangalore is India's best known cashew town, with processing units across Dakshina Kannada shelling, grading and packing kernels for the rest of the country. A tin of cashew kernels weighs about 11 kg, and a trader's order to a Mysore or Bangalore wholesaler might be 40 to 80 tins. That is a Tata Ace load, and a lot of them leave Mangalore every week.
TruckGuru rents the Tata Ace from Mangalore for intercity trips of 100 km or more, up to 1,100 kg per trip.
| Route | Distance | Trip fare |
| Mangalore to Chikmagalur | about 150 km | Rs.6,400 - Rs.6,800 |
| Mangalore to Hassan | about 170 km | Rs.6,900 - Rs.7,400 |
| Mangalore to Kozhikode | about 220 km | Rs.8,200 - Rs.8,900 |
| Mangalore to Mysore | about 250 km | Rs.9,000 - Rs.9,800 |
| Mangalore to Bangalore | about 350 km | Rs.11,600 - Rs.12,600 |
Toll is included. For Goa or other drops, the freight calculator gives the confirmed fare.
Cashew kernels in tins and vacuum packs are the signature load. They are valuable, so a closed-body Tata Ace is the norm, and the tin count should match the invoice.
Mangalore tiles, the clay roof tiles the region is known for, move in small lots to builders and heritage restoration jobs. They are heavy and fragile: stack them on edge with straw or cardboard between rows, and weigh the load, since a few hundred tiles reach 1,100 kg quickly.
Coffee from Chikmagalur estates passes through Mangalore for curing and export, and small sample lots move by Tata Ace. Packaged fish products, dried and salted, also travel in sealed packs.
Every route inland from Mangalore climbs the Western Ghats. Shiradi ghat on the way to Hassan and Bangalore and Charmadi ghat toward Chikmagalur are steep, narrow and prone to landslides in the monsoon. Shiradi has been closed for repairs in some past monsoons, and traffic diverts through Sampaje or Charmadi, adding time.
From June to September, plan an extra few hours on any inland route, and use a closed body for everything. Mangalore gets some of the heaviest rain on the west coast.
For more than 1,100 kg, the Bada Dost carries 1.5 ton at the same fare band, and a 14ft truck carries 3.5 ton. The truck size guide shows the options.
Raw cashew arrives from the local harvest between February and May, and processing units run hardest in the months after. Kernel dispatches peak again from August to October, ahead of Diwali, when dry fruit gift packs sell across India. In those weeks, small vehicles out of Mangalore get booked a day or two in advance.
If you ship to the same Bangalore or Mysore buyer every week, tell us your usual day, and we plan a vehicle for it.
We pick up from Baikampady industrial area, Yeyyadi, Kankanady, Bunder, Panambur near the port, Mulki and the cashew units around Bantwal and Puttur.
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.

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.
