Book Tata AceWarehouses on the edge of Hyderabad, customers in district towns
A lot of the stock that reaches shops in Warangal, Karimnagar or Kurnool starts in a warehouse in Ranga Reddy district. The godowns around Shamshabad, Kothur and the stretch along the Bangalore highway hold FMCG, consumer durables, tiles, sanitaryware and packaged food for distributors across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The replenishment orders from those towns are often too small for a truck: 60 cartons of detergent, a dozen coolers, a pallet of spare parts.
TruckGuru's tempo service in Ranga Reddy books a Tata Ace or Bada Dost class vehicle with driver for these intercity restock runs, over 100 km. The vehicle loads at the warehouse dock and drives straight to the distributor.
Hyderabad city deliveries are not part of what we do.
Getting in and out of a warehouse dock
Big warehouses run on slots. A tempo that turns up at 11 AM when the dock is booked for container unloading until 2 PM will wait, and a waiting tempo makes the distributor at the other end wait too. When you book, give us:
- The dock slot and the gate the vehicle should use
- The picking list, so we know whether a standard or closed body is needed
- The distributor's receiving hours, which in smaller towns often close by 7 PM
With those three, we can time the pickup so the tempo reaches Warangal or Karimnagar while the distributor's staff are still there to unload.
Restock lanes from the district
| Town | Approx. road distance | Tempo time |
| Warangal | about 170 km | 4-5 hours |
| Karimnagar | about 190 km | 5 hours |
| Nizamabad | about 200 km | 5 hours |
| Kurnool | about 180 km | 4-5 hours |
| Khammam | about 220 km | 6 hours |
| Vijayawada | about 290 km | 7 hours |
Distances are from the Shamshabad side and change by 20-40 km depending on which part of the district you load in. Kurnool is the quickest from here, straight down NH44. Warangal and Karimnagar need the Outer Ring Road first, and at peak hours that costs an hour.
Choosing the vehicle for a restock
An Ace / Dost / Pickup takes up to 1,100 kg. For cartons of FMCG and appliances, which are light for their size, a closed-body Bada Dost (up to 1.5 ton) is usually the right choice and keeps boxes clean for the retailer. Tiles and sanitaryware are the reverse: heavy for their size, so the weight limit comes first.
Once a distributor's orders grow past a tonne and a half, a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton) every few days usually works out better than a tempo every day. The truck size guide helps compare. You can also book an Eicher truck or a Tata 407 for mid-sized orders.
Booking and documents
Book 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). You get a digital Lorry Receipt at loading, GPS tracking to delivery and a GST invoice after. For goods above 50,000 rupees, the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill. Loading and unloading labour and transit insurance are arranged by you.
Tempo rates for restock trips
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 distributor wants stock before targets close, is when small vehicles out of the Hyderabad warehouses get scarce.
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.
What warehouse and distributor teams ask
Our dock slot is 4 PM. Will the tempo still reach Warangal today?
Probably by 9 or 10 PM. Check that the distributor will receive that late; if not, load next morning instead.
Can one tempo drop at Karimnagar and then Warangal?
No. One pickup and one drop per booking. Two towns means two tempos.
How many cartons fit in a closed Ace?
It depends on carton size. Send the dimensions and count, and we will confirm on the callback.
Do you pick up anywhere in Ranga Reddy?
Yes, any address in the district, as long as the drop is over 100 km away.
Can I send stock to a shop in Hyderabad city?
No. Every booking is intercity, over 100 km.
Who loads at the warehouse?
Your warehouse team. Loading and unloading labour is arranged by the customer at both ends.
Does the distributor get the tracking link?
You can share it. The tempo is GPS tracked from dispatch to delivery.
Is an e-way bill needed for Kurnool?
Yes, if the value is above 50,000 rupees. It is an interstate trip into Andhra Pradesh.
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.
A staff member is moving to Nizamabad. Can we book a tempo for them?
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 we book the same slot every week?
Yes, book each trip as its own booking. Regular slots are easier for us to plan if you share the weekly pattern with our team.
