Book Tata AceThree kinds of load we pick up in Hoodi
Hoodi sits between KR Puram and Whitefield, with ITPL, the EPIP zone and a cluster of tech parks within a couple of kilometres. Tempo bookings from here fall into three groups, and each needs a slightly different plan.
- Export-zone and EPIP units: electronics sub-assemblies, precision parts, medical device components. Small, valuable, often going to a Chennai port-side customer.
- Tech-park fit-outs and closures: workstations, chairs, network racks and cabling when a floor is set up or shut down and the assets move to a Chennai or Hyderabad office.
- Retail and distribution: stock for stores in Tirupati, Vellore and Salem from distributors around Mahadevapura.
For all three, TruckGuru books a Tata Ace or Bada Dost class tempo with its driver for intercity trips over 100 km. One consignment per vehicle, driven straight to the receiver. We do not take runs inside Bangalore.
Office assets are awkward, not heavy
Forty workstations and their chairs rarely weigh a tonne. They do take up a lot of deck. An Ace / Dost / Pickup is rated at up to 1,100 kg, and with office furniture the deck is usually full at half that weight. For a full floor, skip the tempo and book a 17FT Eicher or a closed container, which also keeps monitors and racks dry. Send an item list and the truck size guide dimensions help us pick the right one.
Tech parks here usually want the vehicle number and driver name a day ahead, a loading-bay slot booked with facility management, and sometimes a material gate pass signed by the tenant. Arrange those before pickup day. A tempo waiting two hours at a security gate is the most common delay we see in Hoodi.
Tempo and truck rates from Hoodi
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. Hoodi sits on the east edge of the city, so trips to Chennai skip most of the inner-city traffic and the transit estimate holds up well.
TruckGuru pricing is quoted per trip at the time of booking, with toll included.

Lanes from the Whitefield side
Chennai, about 330 km, is the main one: usually within 1 day in a tempo or a 17FT Eicher. Tirupati and Vellore are closer and usually within 1 day. Hyderabad, about 570 km north on NH44, usually takes 1 - 2 days with a driver rest stop. For anything going north, the tempo has to cross the city to reach NH44, so an early start or a late-night departure saves the most time.
What happens after you book
Share pickup, drop, weight and date on the site 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 get a digital Lorry Receipt at loading, GPS tracking from dispatch to delivery, and a GST invoice after delivery. Loading and unloading labour and transit insurance are arranged by you. For goods above Rs.50,000, the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill. More options for east Bangalore are under hire truck in Bangalore.
Things Hoodi customers ask us
We are shutting a floor in ITPL. Tempo or bigger?
Usually bigger. Office furniture fills a tempo by volume long before its up to 1,100 kg rating. Send an item count and we will suggest the vehicle.
Can the driver's details come a day early for the gate pass?
Yes. Once the vehicle is assigned, we share the vehicle number and driver name so you can arrange entry.
Can you deliver from Hoodi to Electronics City?
No. We only book intercity trips over 100 km, so moves inside Bangalore are not something we take.
Will other goods be loaded with ours?
No. One vehicle per consignment, direct delivery.
Do you provide loaders for the racks?
No. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by you at both ends. For racks and servers, use a crew that has done it before.
Is an e-way bill needed for used office furniture?
If the declared value of the goods is above Rs.50,000, yes. The consignor or consignee generates it; interstate trips to Chennai must carry it.
How long to Chennai?
About 330 km, usually within 1 day from Hoodi in a tempo or a larger Eicher.
What does a 14FT Eicher to Chennai cost?
A 14FT Eicher from Hoodi to Chennai, about 330 km, is indicatively Rs.10,200 - Rs.11,600 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
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.
I live in Whitefield and am moving to Chennai. Can you help?
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.
Can I see the tempo live?
Yes. GPS tracking is on from dispatch to delivery, and the location shows in the app.
