Book Tata AceNorthbound orders from a west Delhi parts market
A spare parts dealer in Ludhiana runs short of clutch plates on a Tuesday. A workshop owner in Dehradun needs two reconditioned gearboxes before the weekend. Both orders land in Mayapuri, and both are too small for a big truck and too urgent to wait for a truck that fills up with other people's goods. That is most of what our tempo service in Mayapuri carries: 500 kg to a tonne of auto parts, bearings, cut steel or fabricated brackets, going north out of Delhi to one receiver.
TruckGuru books a Tata Ace or Bada Dost class tempo with driver. The vehicle takes only your goods and drives to the other city without stopping at a hub.
We do not run local trips inside Delhi NCR. Every booking is intercity, over 100 km.
Who calls us from Phase I and Phase II
Mayapuri Industrial Area has two sides to its trade. One is the parts market, new and used, that supplies garages and dealers across Punjab, Haryana, Himachal and Uttarakhand. The other is the fabrication and metal work in the back lanes: sheet cutting, machined components, small castings. The callers are different but the loads look similar on the deck, small and heavy.
- Parts dealers restocking a counter in Chandigarh, Ambala or Jalandhar
- Fabricators sending finished brackets or frames to a site in Haridwar or Roorkee
- Traders dispatching reconditioned engines, gearboxes or axles for commercial vehicles
- Metal stockists sending cut lengths to a workshop in Karnal or Yamunanagar
For a crate of brake drums the weight is the limit, not the space. An Ace / Dost / Pickup takes up to 1,100 kg. Put the real kilograms on the booking, not an estimate from the carton count, and we match the vehicle to it.
Getting from Mayapuri onto the Karnal road
Mayapuri sits on the wrong side of the city for northbound work. The tempo has to cross west and north Delhi, usually by Ring Road and past Azadpur, before it reaches GT Karnal Road and NH-44. On a weekday afternoon that stretch alone can take over an hour. Once past Kundli the road is fast all the way to Ambala. Our advice is plain: load in the morning and leave before 11 AM, or load late evening and let the driver run through the night so the goods reach Punjab by early morning, when the receiving shops open.
Dehradun loads go a different way, east through Ghaziabad and up through Meerut and Muzaffarnagar. Expect up to 1 day to Dehradun, about 270 km, with a slower last hour through the hills near Mohand.
Common runs and what they cost
These are the three northern lanes we book most from this area. Chandigarh (about 265 km), Ludhiana (about 325 km) and Amritsar (about 470 km) are each usually within 1 day.

Indicative fares, checked September 2026. Freight rates move with route, vehicle type, cargo, date and availability. Confirm the current rate at booking.
Rates are not fixed. A tempo to Dehradun in the week before Diwali costs more and takes longer to line up than the same trip in July. Toll is included in every quoted trip fare.
When a tempo is the wrong call
If the order is past about 1.1 ton, stop trying to fit it in a tempo. A 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton) or a Tata 407 at about 2.5 ton takes the whole lot in one trip, and a single larger vehicle is usually cheaper than two small ones. For long steel sections that do not fit a short deck, look at the open truck options. The truck size guide has deck lengths for each vehicle.
After you book
Enter pickup, drop, weight and date online or on the app. Our team calls back within 30 minutes during working hours (Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM) to confirm the tempo and the pickup slot. The driver brings a digital Lorry Receipt at loading, the vehicle is GPS tracked until delivery, and the GST invoice follows once the goods are handed over. Loading labour, unloading labour and transit insurance are on your side. For more tempo options across the city, see hire truck in Delhi.
Messages from Mayapuri dealers
Bhai, 800 kg of bearings to Ludhiana, tempo milega kal?
Most days, yes, if you book before the afternoon. 800 kg sits well inside an Ace's 1,100 kg limit. Tell us the gate or shop number in Phase I or II so the driver does not circle the market.
Can the tempo do Mayapuri to Rohini for a local delivery?
No. We only take intercity trips over 100 km. Deliveries inside Delhi or NCR are outside what we book.
Will my parts travel with other people's goods?
No. One vehicle, one consignment. The tempo loads your goods and goes straight to your receiver.
I am sending a used engine block. Is that fine?
Yes, as long as it is drained of oil and fuel and the weight is declared correctly. Engines are dense, so a single block can take a big share of an Ace's capacity.
Do I need an e-way bill for parts worth Rs.70,000?
Yes. Goods above Rs.50,000 need an e-way bill, generated by the consignor or consignee. Share the number with us before the tempo leaves Delhi.
Who puts the goods on the tempo?
You arrange loading and unloading labour. The driver helps tie down and cover the load but does not carry it.
How long does Mayapuri to Chandigarh take?
About 265 km, usually within 1 day; the evening rush across the city can slow a late departure.
Can I carry a few personal items in the same tempo to Dehradun?
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.
How will I know where the tempo is?
Every vehicle is GPS tracked from dispatch to delivery. You can follow it on the app or ask our team when you call.
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.
Are your tempo rates the same every week?
No, rates are not fixed. They move with route, vehicle, date and how many vehicles are free that week. Check the live rate when you book.
