Tempo Service in Chennai 

Vehicles: Tata Ace (750 kg) and Bada Dost / Chota Hathi (1.5 tonnes)

Service: FTL intercity only -- dedicated truck, no co-loading

Pickup: Sriperumbudur, Ambattur, Guindy, Oragadam, OMR, Perungudi

 

When businesses in Chennai search for tempo service, they are usually looking for one of two things: a small truck for a consignment that does not fill a 14ft or 20ft vehicle, or a Tata Ace-sized vehicle for pharma samples, commercial samples, or small FMCG batches moving intercity. TruckGuru handles both through FTL intercity bookings using the Tata Ace (750 kg) and Bada Dost, also known as Chota Hathi (1.5 tonnes).

Both vehicles operate on the same FTL principle as larger trucks -- your goods travel alone from your Chennai pickup point to destination. No co-loading, no shared space, no part-load arrangement. The tempo is booked for your consignment only, which means the pickup and delivery timeline is set by your booking, not by other shippers on the same route.

TruckGuru covers intercity tempo bookings from Chennai to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, and 110+ other cities. The rate is confirmed before dispatch -- the same figure appears on the invoice after delivery. Check your tempo service rate from Chennai: freight calculator. Call 72020 45678.

This is intercity FTL only. Local within-city tempo delivery, household shifting, and parcel services are not offered here.

What Moves on Tempo Bookings from Chennai

The Tata Ace and Bada Dost are most commonly booked for consignments where the goods volume does not justify a 14ft truck but where FTL is still preferred over part-load. Common cargo on Chennai tempo bookings:

  • Pharmaceutical samples and small formulation batches from Guindy and Sriperumbudur pharma units to distributors in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Coimbatore
  • Commercial samples and sales demonstration goods from Chennai businesses to client locations across South India
  • IT accessories and small hardware batches from OMR and Perungudi companies to buyers in Bangalore and Hyderabad
  • FMCG trial batches and new product launches from Chennai distribution centres to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka stockists
  • Automotive spare parts and small component batches from Sriperumbudur and Oragadam suppliers to assembly units in other cities

Commercial and industrial goods only. Household goods and personal effects are not transported on these bookings.

  3. Select Tata Ace (up to 750 kg) or Bada Dost (up to 1.5 tonnes)
  4. Review the confirmed intercity tempo rate

When a Tempo Booking Makes More Sense Than a 14ft Truck

The decision between a Tata Ace or Bada Dost and a 14ft truck comes down to load weight and cost per unit. For loads under 750 kg, the Tata Ace is the right vehicle and the most direct rate. For loads between 750 kg and 1.5 tonnes, the Bada Dost gives the same rate as a Tata Ace but double the capacity.

Where businesses sometimes overpay is booking a 14ft truck for a 500 kg load because a 14ft was available and the Tata Ace was not confirmed in time. The rate difference is significant -- a Chennai-Bangalore Tata Ace runs Rs. 11,500-12,600, while a 14ft on the same route runs Rs. 13,900-15,200. For businesses running weekly small consignments on this corridor, that difference adds up.

Booking the correct vehicle size requires knowing the accurate weight of your consignment before confirming. Use the truck size guide to verify before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are TruckGuru — a truck booking company that works directly with businesses across India. No brokers, no middlemen. If you need to move goods from one city to another — whether it's 100 kg or a full truckload — we find you the right vehicle at a fair price. We've worked with businesses of all sizes, from small traders to large manufacturers, and we understand that when your goods need to move, delays and confusion are the last things you need.

At the core, we help businesses book trucks — but our work goes beyond that. We also help you manage your fleet, track shipments, and keep your warehousing in order. In short, anything that touches moving goods, we are involved in it:

  • Online Truck Booking
  • Transportation Management
  • Fleet Management
  • Route Planning
  • Real-Time Shipment Tracking

We are not just a booking platform — we are a logistics partner you can call when something goes wrong too.

Simply put — you save time, money, and unnecessary stress. Here is what you get when you work with us:

  • Pricing based on the actual market rate — no inflated broker quotes
  • Trucks confirmed quickly, usually within the same day
  • A large network of verified trucks available across India
  • Live GPS so you always know where your shipment is
  • LR, invoice, and POD — all digital, no chasing for paperwork
  • Someone to call 24/7 if anything needs attention

It takes just a few minutes. Here is how it works:

  1. Download the TruckGuru app from Play Store or App Store — or just open our website.
  2. Register or log in to your account.
  3. Enter where the goods need to be picked up and delivered, and what you are sending.
  4. Pick the truck size that fits your load.
  5. Check the fare shown on screen — no hidden extras.
  6. Confirm the booking and you are done.
  7. From there, you can track the truck live until your goods are delivered.

If you get stuck at any step, just call us — we will help you get the booking done.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We accept all standard payment modes — whatever is convenient for you:

  • NEFT / RTGS / IMPS
  • UPI — GPay, PhonePe, Paytm
  • Net Banking

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
