Book Tata AceLoading a tempo from a Ghatkopar shop street
Ghatkopar is not an industrial estate. Most of the tempo loads we book here start at a shop shutter or a small godown: hardware and sanitary fittings from dealers along LBS Marg, electrical goods, cartons of packed food from wholesalers near the station, and stock from small workshops on the Kurla-Ghatkopar stretch. The loading point is a busy road, so the tempo has to get in, load quickly and leave.
That shapes how we plan pickups. An Ace-class tempo can pull up where an Eicher cannot, and loading before 10 AM or after 9 PM avoids most of the daytime traffic on LBS Marg. If your shop is on an inner lane, tell us the nearest point where a vehicle can stand.
The service in plain terms
TruckGuru's tempo service in Ghatkopar books a Tata Ace or Bada Dost class vehicle with driver for outstation trips, meaning the drop is more than 100 km away. The tempo takes your goods only and goes direct. We do not do city deliveries to Andheri, Thane or Navi Mumbai.
- Standard Ace / Dost / Pickup: Up to 1,100 kg
- Closed-body version: up to 1.5 ton, for cartons and electronics in the monsoon
- Past that: a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton), bookable through Eicher truck rental
Lanes and how long they take
| Drop city | Road distance | Tempo transit |
| Nashik | about 165 km | 5-6 hours |
| Pune | about 155 km | 4-5 hours |
| Ahmednagar | about 250 km | 7-8 hours |
| Surat | about 280 km | 7-8 hours |
| Aurangabad | about 340 km | 9-10 hours |
Ghatkopar sits on the Eastern Express Highway, which makes Nashik via Thane the natural first lane. The Surat run has to cross over to the Western Express Highway or go via Ghodbunder Road, and that link can take longer than people expect in evening traffic.
Documents and responsibilities
Dealers sending invoiced stock over 50,000 rupees need an e-way bill, generated by the consignor or consignee before the tempo leaves. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by you. So is transit insurance, if you want cover. From our side, the digital Lorry Receipt is issued at loading, the tempo is GPS tracked to delivery, and a GST invoice is sent after the goods are delivered.
Rates for a Ghatkopar tempo
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. Nashik and Pune tempos are available on most days; for Aurangabad or Surat, a day's notice helps us find a vehicle that is already on the eastern side of the city.
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.
Book on the website or through 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). For bigger vehicles from the eastern suburbs, see hire truck in Mumbai or hire truck in Thane.
Ghatkopar dealers ask
Can the tempo stand outside my shop on LBS Marg?
An Ace-class tempo usually can, briefly. Have the goods ready at the shutter so loading takes under half an hour.
Tempo to Nashik tonight?
Possible if booked during working hours today. A night departure reaches Nashik early morning.
Do you deliver to Thane or Vashi?
No. We only book trips over 100 km.
How many cartons fit?
It depends on carton size. Weight limit is 1,100 kg for a standard Ace. Send dimensions and count and we will check.
Will you pick up from two shops?
Tell us at booking. The vehicle is booked for one consignment, so both pickups must be for the same shipper and drop.
Who loads?
You arrange loading and unloading labour at both ends.
E-way bill needed for Pune?
Yes, if the goods are worth more than 50,000 rupees. The consignor or consignee generates it.
Can I track the tempo?
Yes, GPS tracking from dispatch to delivery.
Why did the rate change from last month?
Rates are not fixed. They move with date, lane demand and vehicle availability.
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 I send personal items to my hometown?
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.
