Tata Ace

Book Tata AceYeswanthpur loads mostly head north up Tumkur Road
Yeswanthpur is where Bangalore's NH48 starts pointing towards Tumkur, Chitradurga and north Karnataka. The APMC yard here trades onions, potatoes and other produce in bulk, Peenya's engineering units are a few minutes away, and the railway goods sheds bring in stock that often has to go back out by road. An Ace booked here is usually on the Nelamangala stretch within half an hour, which is a luxury most Bangalore pickups do not get.
TruckGuru rents out the Tata Ace with a driver for intercity loads over 100 km. We do not do deliveries inside Bangalore. The vehicle takes your consignment only and runs direct to the receiver.
Two kinds of load we see here
Produce and food from the APMC side
Traders at Yeswanthpur send smaller lots of onion, potato, garlic and dry goods to retailers and hotel suppliers in towns like Davangere, Hassan and Shimoga. A tonne of onions fits an Ace on weight. The catch is time: produce loaded at 2 PM and reaching Hubli after midnight means a morning unload, and a night in a parked vehicle is not good for it. For perishables we suggest loading early and choosing destinations under about 300 km for an Ace.
Parts and packed goods from the Peenya and Yeswanthpur units
Fasteners, valves, pump parts, fabricated brackets and electrical panels go to dealers and project sites up the highway. These are dense loads. A crate of castings can hit the 1,100 kg ceiling while half the deck is empty, so weigh it before you book. Anything heavier belongs on a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton) or a 19FT (7 ton).
An Ace / Dost / Pickup takes up to 1,100 kg; a closed-body Bada Dost up to 1.5 ton. If you need a similar small vehicle with a slightly different body, see Mini truck on rent. For bare metal and machinery, the open truck service page covers the larger open bodies.
How far, and how long
Chitradurga is about 200 km and Davangere about 265 km; both are usually 1 day by Ace. Hassan, taken via Nelamangala on the Mangalore highway, is about 185 km, so same-day delivery is possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day. Shimoga is roughly 280 km and Hubli about 410 km, each usually 1 day. Belgaum at about 500 km is also usually 1 day, and for that lane we would rather load in the evening and unload next morning.
Tumkur, at about 70 km, is too close for us.
Tata Ace 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. North Karnataka lanes tighten during harvest months, when every small vehicle in the APMC is busy, so book those a day or two earlier than usual.
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.
Paperwork and the booking itself
Book on the online truck booking page or the app. Our team calls back within 30 minutes in working hours (Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM) to fix the vehicle and pickup time. A digital Lorry Receipt is issued at loading, GPS tracking runs from dispatch to delivery, and the GST invoice follows delivery.
If the goods are worth more than 50,000 rupees, the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill. Loading and unloading labour and transit insurance are yours to arrange. For bigger trucks from any part of the city, see hire truck in Bangalore.
Questions from Yeswanthpur traders and units
Can I load onions at the APMC at 6 AM for Davangere?
Yes, book the day before and mention the gate and time on the callback. A 6 AM start gets the Ace to Davangere by early afternoon.
Is 1 tonne of potatoes OK in an Ace?
On weight, yes. The Ace takes up to 1,100 kg. Tell us the bag count so we know it fits without stacking over the sides.
Do you go to Tumkur?
No. Tumkur is about 70 km from Yeswanthpur and we only take trips over 100 km.
My load is 1.4 ton of castings. What do I book?
Not an open Ace. A 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton) is the right vehicle for that weight; an overloaded Ace risks a fine at an RTO check and strain on the vehicle.
Who arranges hamali at both ends?
You do. Loading and unloading labour is the customer's arrangement. The driver secures the load with rope and tarpaulin.
Does the Ace carry only my goods?
Yes. One consignment per vehicle, direct to the receiver.
Do I need an e-way bill within Karnataka?
If the goods are worth over 50,000 rupees, yes, even for an intrastate trip. The consignor or consignee generates it before the Ace moves.
Why did the rate change from last week?
Rates are not fixed. The trip price moves with the lane, date and how many vehicles are free that week. Toll is always included.
Can I use the Ace to send my family's things to Shimoga?
Our trucks mostly carry business loads. For a one-off household move to another city, we can supply the truck and driver. Packing, loading and unloading are arranged by you.
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.
How do I know the Ace reached Hubli?
GPS tracking shows the vehicle from dispatch to delivery, and the receiver's handover is recorded before the GST invoice is raised.
