Book Tata AceMost PCMC tempo trips are job work, so start with the paper
In Bhosari, Chikhali, Talawade and the sheds around Chinchwad, a small load leaving the gate is often not a sale. It is castings going to a heat-treatment shop in Satara, machined parts going back to the principal in Nashik, or dies sent out for repair. The goods move on a job-work challan rather than a tax invoice, and the paperwork decides whether the tempo gets through a check without a phone call to your accounts team.
TruckGuru's tempo service in Pimpri Chinchwad books a Tata Ace or Bada Dost class vehicle with driver for these intercity runs, over 100 km, carrying one consignment only. We do not take trips inside Pune or PCMC.
Documents we see on PCMC loads
- Job-work challan for goods sent to or returned by a job worker. Keep a copy with the driver.
- E-way bill generated by the consignor or consignee for goods worth more than 50,000 rupees. For job work going to another state, check with your tax consultant, because the value rule is different there.
- Tax invoice for straight sales to a dealer or OEM.
- Digital Lorry Receipt from us at loading, and a GST invoice after delivery.
One habit saves a lot of trouble: write the part count on the challan and have the receiver count on unloading, before the tempo leaves. Disputes over three missing brackets are easier to settle at the gate than a week later.
The runs we book most from here
| Going to | Tempo road time | Typical load |
| Satara, about 125 km | 3-3.5 hours | Castings for machining or treatment |
| Mumbai / Bhiwandi, about 140 km | 4-5 hours | Finished parts for export packing |
| Nashik, about 200 km | 5-6 hours | Job-work returns to principals |
| Aurangabad, about 230 km | 6 hours | Auto and electrical components |
| Kolhapur, about 245 km | 6-7 hours | Foundry and machine-shop work |
The Mumbai trip crosses the Khandala ghat. If the parts are oily or loose, crate them; a tempo braking down the ghat will shift anything that is not tied.
Is a tempo the right size?
An Ace / Dost / Pickup carries up to 1,100 kg on a deck of about 7 feet. Machined steel adds up fast: four small wooden crates of forgings can hit a tonne while leaving half the floor empty. That is fine. What is not fine is loading 1.4 ton because the space is there.
A closed-body version takes up to 1.5 ton and keeps rust-prone parts dry through the monsoon. Anything heavier goes on a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton). Big fixtures or a press being shifted to a new unit may need an open truck with more deck. For the full list, see the truck size guide, and for bigger vehicles from the same belt, hire truck in Pune.
Tempo rates in Pimpri Chinchwad
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. Month-end, when every job shop is clearing dispatch for billing, tempos out of Bhosari get booked up by the afternoon.
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.
Booking it
Put in pickup, drop, weight and preferred date on the website 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). The tempo is GPS tracked from dispatch until it reaches the receiver. Your team handles loading and unloading labour, and transit insurance if you want cover.
What PCMC job shops ask us
Parts going on a job-work challan, is that ok for you?
Yes. We carry the goods on whatever document you issue. The driver keeps a copy, and we issue our own digital Lorry Receipt at loading.
Do I need an e-way bill for castings to Satara?
Within Maharashtra, if the value is over 50,000 rupees, yes, generated by the consignor or consignee. For job work going out of state, check with your tax consultant before dispatch.
Can you pick up from a shed inside a narrow lane in Bhosari?
An Ace-class tempo gets into most lanes. Mention the approach on the callback and we will tell you if the vehicle fits.
How heavy can I go?
Up to 1,100 kg on an open Ace / Dost / Pickup, up to 1.5 ton on a closed body. Past that, book a 14FT Eicher.
Can you do Chinchwad to Hadapsar?
No. That is inside Pune, and we only book intercity trips over 100 km.
Will the tempo stop to load another company's parts?
No. One vehicle per consignment. It loads your goods and drives straight to your receiver.
Who does the loading?
You arrange labour at both ends. For crates over 150 kg, keep a hand pallet truck or chain block ready.
How do I know the parts reached Nashik?
Track the tempo on GPS until delivery, and ask the receiver to sign the Lorry Receipt copy after counting.
Can I use the same tempo to move my family's things to Kolhapur?
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.
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 get the rate before I confirm?
Yes. The trip is quoted at booking with toll included. Rates are not fixed, so the quote holds for that booking and date only.
