Hire a Truck in Mangalore -- Intercity FTL Booking
Mangalore has three freight identities running at the same time. It is a major port city -- New Mangalore Port handles coal, petroleum, fertilisers, and container traffic. It is India's largest cashew processing hub -- finished cashews move to FMCG distributors across the country. And it is the traditional home of Mangalore tiles, with a roofing tile industry that supplies construction projects across Karnataka and beyond. These three industries alone generate enough consistent outbound freight to keep intercity trucks busy year-round.
TruckGuru books intercity FTL trucks from Mangalore. Not local shifting, not within-city delivery -- commercial freight above 100 km only. The truck and driver come to your pickup address. Rate confirmed before dispatch. That number stays on the invoice.

What Ships from Mangalore
Cashews
Mangalore processes more cashews than any other city in India. Finished cashews move in corrugated cartons to FMCG distributors across Maharashtra, Delhi, and South India. Most cashew consignments are sub-3.5T and suit a 14ft Eicher for medium-volume orders.
Mangalore Tiles
The traditional clay roofing tile still moves in significant volume to Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra construction projects. Tiles are heavier per pallet than most shippers expect -- confirm actual weight before selecting a truck category. A 20ft load of roofing tiles weighs more than a 20ft load of packaged FMCG.
Coffee
Coffee consolidated from Coorg and Chikkamagaluru moves through Mangalore to roasters in Mumbai, Pune, and Bangalore. Coffee absorbs moisture and odour on long runs -- enclosed container trucks are the right choice for this cargo.
Industrial and Chemical Goods
The Surathkal belt and MRPL area generate chemical and industrial goods moving to Karnataka and Maharashtra buyers. Baikampady KIADB anchors the city's general manufacturing dispatch.
For enclosed protection on coffee and chemical cargo, see container truck transport.

FAQ

Does TruckGuru offer local tempo service in Mangalore?
No. TruckGuru books intercity FTL freight for routes above 100 km. local Mangalore moving, and within-city transport are not offered here.
What is the maximum load capacity available from Mangalore?
Up to 16 T on a 32ft container. Five categories: Tata Ace (750 kg), Bada Dost (1.5 T), 14ft Eicher (3.5 T), 20ft truck (6.5 T), 32ft container (up to 16 T). Select based on verified cargo weight.
Do tile shipments need any special handling?
No special handling, but accurate weight is essential. Roofing and vitrified tiles run significantly heavier per pallet than most dry goods. Booking a 14ft truck for what is actually a 20ft load creates a checkpost compliance issue mid-route. Weigh before booking.
Is cargo insurance included in the booking rate?
No. Insurance is arranged separately by the shipper. It is not part of the TruckGuru booking rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is TruckGuru?
TruckGuru LLP is a full truckload (FTL) intercity truck booking platform with offices in Vadodara and Bangalore, covering 110+ cities across India. We show you the freight cost before you book, match the right truck to your cargo, and handle the booking from pickup to delivery.
How do I book a truck?
Three ways: book online at truckguru.co.in, use the TruckGuru app, or call 72020 45678. Enter your pickup and drop city, select the truck type, and check the estimated fare. Once you confirm, pay the token amount and our team places the vehicle at your pickup location.
How can I check the freight cost for my route?
Use the freight calculator on our website -- enter the pickup city, drop city, and truck type. You will see an estimated fare instantly. No login needed, no obligation. The final rate is confirmed by our executive after verifying your exact locations, material weight, and goods type.
What truck types are available?
Tata Ace (1,250 kg), Bada Dost and Mahindra Pickup (up to 1.5 ton), Eicher 14ft (3.5 ton), 17ft (5 ton), 19ft (7 ton), 20ft Container (6.5 ton), and 32ft Container in SXL (7-8 ton), MXL (16 ton), and MXL (18 ton) variants. Not sure which fits your load? Call us and our team will recommend the right vehicle based on weight and volume.
What are the payment terms?
A token amount at booking confirmation, 90% of the fare at the time of loading, and the remaining balance at the destination before unloading. We accept NEFT, IMPS, UPI (GPay, PhonePe, Paytm), and all major debit and credit cards.
Is the online estimate the final fare?
No. The website shows an estimated cost based on standard distance. The final fare is confirmed by our executive after verifying your exact pickup and drop location, material weight, and goods type. On most routes the final rate stays close to the estimate, but it can vary for off-highway locations or routes requiring detours.
What are the waiting charges?
If the truck reaches your location and loading is delayed, waiting charges range from Rs.1,000 to Rs.5,000 per day depending on the vehicle type. If the vehicle is not loaded and returns empty, the customer must pay driver fuel charges plus the waiting charge.
What are the GST charges on freight?
GST on goods transport is payable under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) at 5%. The shipper is responsible for filing and paying the GST, not TruckGuru. Our invoices are GST-compliant and sent to your registered email after delivery.
Who generates the e-Way Bill?
The consignor or consignee must generate Part A and Part B of the e-Way Bill before the goods move. This is mandatory for consignments valued above Rs.50,000. TruckGuru does not generate the e-Way Bill on your behalf.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Call 72020 45678 to request cancellation. Once vehicle or driver details have been shared, the booking amount is non-refundable. If the truck has already been dispatched, no refund is issued and fuel charges apply. Approved cancellations are refunded (minus cancellation fee) within 7 working days.
Do you provide loading, unloading, or packing?
Our service covers transportation only. If you need labour for loading or unloading, we can help arrange it at extra cost, but we do not guarantee third-party labour services. The quoted freight rate does not include labour charges.
Do you handle parcels, courier, or car transport?
No. TruckGuru provides full truckload (FTL) intercity goods transport only. We do not handle parcels, courier, bike transport, car transport, household shifting, or within-city local deliveries.
Tips for Booking a Truck
Start with the weight and type of goods you need to move, not the truck size. A 2-ton consignment fits an Eicher 14FT (3.5T capacity), while anything above 7 tons usually needs a 32FT container. Picking the right vehicle upfront saves you from paying for space you do not use.
Always get a confirmed rate before the truck is dispatched. On TruckGuru, the price shown at booking is the price you pay. The payment split is 5% at booking, 90% at loading, and 5% before unloading. If any platform or broker tries to revise the rate at the loading dock, treat that as a red flag.
Check that the transporter provides live GPS tracking and digital documentation including LR, invoice, and POD. Calling the driver every few hours for location updates wastes time, especially on high-volume corridors where even a small delay can throw off your warehouse unloading schedule.
Book 2 to 3 days ahead when possible. Same-day availability is common on most routes, but during October to December peak season, trucks on busy corridors fill up fast. Advance booking also gives you better vehicle options for goods that need closed-body or containerised transport.
