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.

 

Tempo Truck Types Available

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.

What Businesses Say About Booking With Us

“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.”

Rajesh MehtaSupply Chain Manager, Auto Components
★★★★★

“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.”

Priya NairOperations Head, Textile Manufacturing
★★★★★

“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.”

Vikram JoshiDirector, Packaging Materials
★★★★★

“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.”

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.

Moving Goods Is Simple with TruckGuru

Tips for Booking a Truck

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.
