Book Tata AceThe pickup is the easy half
When a tempo trip from Azamabad goes wrong, it is rarely at the loading gate. The units in this old industrial pocket near RTC X Roads and Musheerabad know how to load a small vehicle. The trouble tends to come 300 km later: the receiver's store is shut, nobody there has the invoice copy, or there is no one to unload, and a vehicle that arrived on time sits outside until the next morning.
TruckGuru's tempo service in Azamabad books a Tata Ace or Bada Dost class vehicle with driver for intercity trips, over 100 km. It carries your consignment alone and drives directly to the receiver. We do not book deliveries within Hyderabad.
This page is mostly about the far end of the trip, because that is where a little planning saves the most time.
What the receiver needs to know before the tempo leaves
- The vehicle number and the driver's contact, which we share after the callback
- The expected arrival window, based on the distance below
- That unloading labour is theirs to arrange; the driver does not unload
- That the balance payment is released before unloading starts, as per the payment terms
That last point surprises some receivers. Please tell them in advance, especially if they are used to a local transporter who collects on the spot.
Arrival windows from Azamabad
| Destination | Road distance | If loaded at 9 AM, arrives |
| Warangal | about 150 km | early afternoon |
| Karimnagar | about 165 km | early afternoon |
| Khammam | about 200 km | mid-afternoon |
| Vijayawada | about 275 km | early evening |
| Nagpur | about 500 km | late night or next morning |
| Raipur | about 780 km | the next day, after a night halt |
Leaving central Hyderabad adds its own time. A 9 AM start from Azamabad is already competing with office traffic, so if the receiver closes early, move the pickup to 6 or 7 AM. For Nagpur, an evening loading that arrives at opening time the next day often suits the receiver better.
What goes in the tempo
The Ace / Dost / Pickup is rated up to 1,100 kg, and the closed-body version takes up to 1.5 ton. Printed material, plastic goods, electrical parts and small machinery components from the area usually fit well. Past a tonne and a half, a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton) is the next step; a 19FT Eicher carries 7 ton. See the truck size guide or book a tempo directly by name.
Booking, papers and tracking
Book on the website or the TruckGuru app. We call back within 30 minutes during working hours (Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM). You receive a digital Lorry Receipt at loading. GPS tracking runs until delivery, which you can share with the receiver, and the GST invoice follows. For goods above 50,000 rupees in value, the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill. Transit insurance and loading labour are arranged by you.
Tempo rates from Azamabad
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. A tempo held overnight because the receiver was closed costs everyone a day, which is one more reason to plan the delivery end.
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. For bigger loads, see hire truck in Hyderabad or hire truck in Nagpur for return trips.
Questions from Azamabad shippers
The receiver in Karimnagar closes at 6. Will we make it?
With a pickup before 11 AM, usually yes. It is about 165 km, 4-5 hours for a tempo.
What happens if the receiver is closed when the tempo arrives?
The tempo waits and is unloaded next morning, and your delivery slips a day. Confirm receiving hours before dispatch.
Does the driver unload at the other end?
No. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by the customer at both ends.
Can I send goods to Begumpet or Uppal?
No. We only book intercity trips over 100 km.
How much can go in one tempo?
Up to 1,100 kg in an Ace / Dost / Pickup, up to 1.5 ton in a closed-body Bada Dost.
Can the receiver watch the tempo on the way?
Yes. Share the tracking link; the tempo is GPS tracked from dispatch to delivery.
Is the Nagpur trip one day?
About 500 km, 12-14 hours for a tempo. Most shippers load in the evening for a morning delivery.
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.
Can the receiver pay the balance?
Yes, as long as it is paid through the accepted modes before unloading starts. Tell us who is paying when you book.
Can I use a tempo to send my personal belongings to Warangal?
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.
Do you need an e-way bill for Nagpur?
Yes, if the goods are worth more than 50,000 rupees. The consignor or consignee generates it before dispatch.
