Tempo Service Book for Intercity Business Deliveries
Service: Full Truckload (FTL) intercity only | Vehicle range: Tata Ace (750 kg) to Bada Dost (1.5 tonnes) | Coverage: 110+ cities across India
A retail stockist in Pune receiving FMCG replenishment from a Mumbai warehouse does not need a 14ft truck. A Tata Ace or Bada Dost covers the load at a fraction of the cost -- and gets there just as fast. That is the gap tempo transport fills.
TruckGuru's tempo service covers verified Tata Ace and Bada Dost bookings for FTL intercity business deliveries. Every booking is full truckload -- your goods travel alone from pickup to delivery, no co-loading, no shared space with other consignments. Check your route rate on the freight calculator before booking, or call 72020 45678 with your load details.

What Businesses Use Tempo Service For
Tempo trucks are the standard vehicle for businesses running regular short to medium distance intercity consignments where load volume sits below 1.5 tonnes:
- FMCG secondary distribution -- distributors replenishing retail stockists in smaller cities with packaged food, beverages, and personal care products
- Pharmaceutical supply movement -- packed formulations and medical supplies moving between distributors, hospitals, and stockists
- E-commerce seller dispatches -- bulk product loads from fulfilment centres moving to delivery hubs or B2B buyers in other cities
- Retail stock replenishment -- garments, electronics accessories, and consumer goods from wholesale markets to retail outlets
- Agricultural inputs -- seeds, fertilisers, and agro chemicals from distributors to dealers in nearby districts
- Stationery and office supplies -- regular commercial replenishment runs for institutional buyers across cities
- Construction fittings -- sanitary ware, tiles, and electrical fittings for project deliveries under 1.5 tonnes
Tempo service on TruckGuru is for business consignments only. Household shifting and personal moving are not offered here.

Why Businesses Book Tempo Through TruckGuru
Verified operators only. Every Tata Ace and Bada Dost on TruckGuru goes through document and vehicle registration checks before listing. No unregistered operators on the platform.
Right vehicle for the actual load. Booking a Tata Ace for a 600 kg consignment costs significantly less than booking a 14ft truck with half the space empty. All vehicle options show at the time of booking so you pick what actually fits.
No co-loading. Your consignment travels alone -- the truck is exclusively yours from pickup to drop. This matters for pharmaceutical goods, electronics samples, and any cargo where mixing loads is not acceptable.
Live GPS tracking. Track your tempo in real time through the TruckGuru app from dispatch to delivery. Particularly useful on short routes where delivery windows are tight.
Same-day availability in major cities. Tempo trucks are the most available vehicle type on the platform. Bookings placed before noon in most major cities can get same-day dispatch.

FAQs
What is tempo service in truck transport?
Tempo service refers to FTL intercity bookings using smaller commercial vehicles -- Tata Ace (750 kg) and Bada Dost (1.5 tonnes). It is used for business consignments where the load volume does not justify a larger 14ft or 20ft truck. Every TruckGuru tempo booking is full truckload -- the vehicle is exclusively yours from pickup to drop.
What is the load capacity of a tempo?
The Tata Ace carries up to 750 kg. The Bada Dost (also called Chota Hathi) carries up to 1.5 tonnes. For loads above 1.5 tonnes, a 14ft truck is the right step up.
What does tempo service cost per km?
TruckGuru prices tempo bookings per trip, not per km. A Tata Ace on a short distance route under 300 km typically costs Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 5,500. A Bada Dost on a 300-600 km route costs Rs. 8,500 to Rs. 15,000. Use the freight calculator for a specific quote on your route.
Can I book a tempo for same-day delivery?
Same-day dispatch is possible in most major cities for bookings placed before noon. Call 72020 45678 to confirm availability -- same-day dispatch depends on the pickup zone and destination.
Is tempo service available for intercity routes only?
Yes. All TruckGuru tempo bookings are for intercity FTL routes. Local within-city deliveries are not offered. The Tata Ace is most active on routes under 400 km. The Bada Dost handles medium distance routes up to 600-800 km.
Are toll charges included in the rate?
No. Toll charges are paid separately by the shipper during transit. The base rate covers the truck, driver, and fuel. Call 72020 45678 for a toll estimate on your specific route.
Can I track my tempo during transit?
Yes. Live GPS tracking is available through the TruckGuru app on Android or iOS once dispatched. You also receive the driver's direct contact number at the time of booking confirmation.
What documents do I need for a tempo booking?
You need an invoice or delivery challan for your consignment. If your goods require an e-way bill -- applicable for goods worth more than Rs. 50,000 moving across state borders or more than 50 km within a state -- that needs to be generated before loading. Vehicle permits and insurance are handled by the truck owner.

How can I book a truck via TruckGuru APP?
It takes just a few minutes. Here is how it works:
- Download the TruckGuru app from Play Store or App Store — or just open our website.
- Register or log in to your account.
- Enter where the goods need to be picked up and delivered, and what you are sending.
- Pick the truck size that fits your load.

How can I check my transportation cost?
Just enter the pickup city, delivery city, and roughly how much your goods weigh — you will see a price range on the spot. No need to call anyone or wait for a quote. Once you confirm the booking, we share the final rate before any truck is dispatched your way.
What types of trucks are available on TruckGuru?
We have vehicles for all kinds of loads — small or large. Whether you need a mini truck for a local delivery or a full container for an inter-state shipment, we have it covered:
- Tata Ace / Bolero Pickup — for small loads and city deliveries
- Eicher / Tata 19 ft LCV — for medium-sized consignments
- 14 ft / 17 ft Closed Body Trucks — for goods that need weather protection
- 20 ft / 24 ft Container Trucks — for bulk and long-distance movement
Not sure which one fits your load? Our team will help you pick the right option.
What is Full Truckload (FTL) service?
FTL simply means the entire truck is yours — no other goods will share the space. The truck picks up from your location and goes straight to the destination without stopping anywhere in between. This is usually the best choice when you have a large quantity to move or when delivery time really matters. Fewer stops also means fewer chances of damage or delay.
How will I receive my invoice and LR?
Once your booking is confirmed, your LR (Lorry Receipt) and invoice are sent directly to your registered WhatsApp number or email. You can also download them anytime from your TruckGuru account. No need to wait, call, or follow up — the documents are ready as soon as the booking goes through.
Can I track my truck in real time?
Yes — every truck on our platform has GPS. Once your shipment is on the move, you can see exactly where it is from the app. No more calling the driver every few hours to ask "bhai kahan tak pahunche?" — you can check it yourself anytime. You can also share the tracking link with your buyer or warehouse team so they know when to expect the delivery.
Can I book a truck in advance?
Yes, you can. Just select your dispatch date when placing the booking and we will arrange the truck for that day. Advance booking also helps us get you better availability — especially during busy seasons when trucks fill up fast.
Can I place a booking with multiple pickup or drop points?
Yes. If you need to pick up goods from more than one location, or deliver to multiple destinations in one trip, we handle that too. Just mention the stops when placing your booking and our team will plan the route accordingly.
Can I cancel my booking? Is there a cancellation charge?
Yes, you can cancel. If the truck has not yet left for your pickup point, cancellation is generally free. If the truck is already on its way, a cancellation charge may apply — because the driver has already committed his time and fuel. We keep this transparent, so the exact terms are shared at the time of booking itself.
Do you provide loading, unloading, or packing services?
Our truck fare covers transportation only — loading, unloading, and packing are not part of the standard service. If you need help arranging labour or packing at your location, reach out to our team and we will try to connect you with someone in your area. We do not want you to be stuck without options.
What types of goods can I transport?
We carry most general goods — machinery, auto parts, FMCG products, electronics, furniture, building materials, agricultural produce and more. The only things we do not carry are hazardous chemicals, flammable liquids, and similar restricted materials. If you are unsure whether your goods qualify, just call us before booking and we will confirm on the spot.
When do I need to make the payment?
Payment is split into two parts. First, a freight advance is paid when the truck arrives at your loading point. The remaining balance is settled once the goods are delivered. The exact breakdown is shared with you at the time of booking — no surprises later.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept all standard payment modes — whatever is convenient for you:
- NEFT / RTGS / IMPS
- UPI — GPay, PhonePe, Paytm
- Net Banking
When and how will I receive my Proof of Delivery (POD)?
Once delivery is done, the driver uploads the POD from his end. You will receive it on your registered WhatsApp or email, and it will also be available to download from your TruckGuru account. No waiting around — it comes through as soon as the delivery is marked complete.
How can I contact the driver during the trip?
Once the truck is assigned, the driver's number is shared with you through your TruckGuru account. You can call him directly. If for some reason you cannot reach the driver or have a concern, our support team is available around the clock to step in and help.
How do I raise a complaint or support ticket?
Go to the Support or Help section in your TruckGuru account and raise a ticket from there. You can also call or email our customer care team directly — whichever is faster for you. We take complaints seriously and aim to respond and resolve quickly, not just acknowledge and forget.
How quickly can I get a price quote?
The moment you enter your route and cargo details, an estimated price appears on screen — no waiting. Once you confirm the booking, the final rate from the truck owner is usually shared within 30 to 60 minutes. You are not kept waiting for hours like with traditional brokers.
Are the trucks and drivers verified?
Yes. We do not onboard just anyone. Every truck owner and driver on our platform goes through a verification process — vehicle registration, valid driving licence, and basic background checks. We do this because your goods are valuable and you deserve to know who is handling them.
Can I share shipment tracking details with someone else?
Yes. You can share the live tracking link with anyone — your buyer, your warehouse team, or a business partner. They do not need a TruckGuru account to view it. This way, everyone who needs to know where the shipment is can check on their own without having to call you.
What is the estimated delivery time for my shipment?
It depends on the distance and the route. A Mumbai to Pune delivery is very different from a Delhi to Chennai one. We give you an estimated delivery window at the time of booking, and you can track progress live through the app. If there are any delays due to weather, road conditions, or other factors, we keep you informed.
Do you cover all India routes?
Yes — we cover routes across PAN India. Whether you are moving goods between major cities, we have truck owners and operators in our network who can service most locations. If you are not sure whether we cover a specific route, just enter it on the app or call us — we will tell you honestly.
Can I check prices without making a booking?
Of course. Just enter the pickup city, drop city, and cargo weight — and you will see the price range right away. No login needed, no commitment. We want you to be comfortable with the rate before you decide to book.
