Book Tata AceVikarabad ships west as much as east
Most people picture freight from Vikarabad heading into Hyderabad. For us it mostly goes the other way. The district sits against the Karnataka border, and the towns that buy from it, Kalaburagi, Bidar, Raichur, Solapur, are often closer than the far side of Hyderabad. A trader in Tandur sending a tonne of dal to a wholesaler in Kalaburagi does not need an Eicher. He needs a tempo that can cross a state line with the right papers.
That is what TruckGuru's tempo service in Vikarabad does. We book a Tata Ace or Bada Dost class vehicle with driver for trips over 100 km, loaded with your goods only and driven straight to the receiver. We do not take local trips, and most Hyderabad drops from Vikarabad town fall under 100 km, so those are out too.
A border crossing changes the paperwork, not the booking
The booking is the same whether the drop is in Telangana or Karnataka. What changes is the document set. For goods worth more than 50,000 rupees going across the state line, the consignor or consignee generates the e-way bill before the tempo leaves, with the vehicle number we share on the callback. Carry the tax invoice or delivery challan with the driver as well.
Our judgment after enough of these trips: fill in the e-way bill after the vehicle is confirmed, not the night before. A wrong vehicle number is the most common reason a small load gets held at a check, and fixing it on the roadside takes longer than the trip.
Lanes out of the district
- Kalaburagi - about 130 km via Tandur; same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day. Pulses, stone slabs, cement bags.
- Bidar - about 115 km via Zaheerabad; same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day. Farm inputs and building material.
- Raichur - about 190 km; same-day delivery possible if the truck loads early; otherwise next day. Mixed trade goods.
- Solapur - about 250 km, 1 day. Textile and FMCG trade both ways.
- Nizamabad - about 230 km across the top of Hyderabad, 1 day.
Distances are measured from Vikarabad town; add 30-40 km if you are loading at Tandur or Parigi and the drop is east.
Vehicle size for heavy, dense goods
Dal, stone and cement weigh a lot for their volume. An Ace / Dost / Pickup takes up to 1,100 kg, which is about 20 to 22 bags of 50 kg cement, or a stack of polished slabs that fills barely a third of the deck. Do not try to fill the floor. Declare the weight honestly, because RTO checks on the Karnataka side do weigh small goods vehicles.
If the load is 2 ton or more, a 14FT Eicher (3.5 ton) is the better booking, and for 5-7 ton a 17FT or 19FT Eicher. The truck type page explains open and closed bodies, and the Tata Ace for rent page covers the smallest vehicle in more detail.
Why a vehicle may come from Hyderabad
Vikarabad has fewer goods vehicles waiting for outstation work than the city does, so the tempo assigned to you may drive out from Hyderabad's western side for the pickup. Plan a morning loading slot and have the goods at the gate. A tempo that loads by 10 AM reaches Kalaburagi in daylight and unloads the same evening.
Rates for a Vikarabad tempo
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. Karnataka drops from Vikarabad usually quote without surprises; the harder weeks are harvest time for red gram, when every small vehicle in the district is busy.
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. You can also get a quick estimate on the freight calculator.

Book on the website or the TruckGuru app with pickup, drop, weight and date. We call back within 30 minutes during working hours (Mon-Sat 9:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Sun 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM). A digital Lorry Receipt is issued at loading, the tempo is GPS tracked to delivery, and the GST invoice follows after delivery. Loading and unloading labour and any transit insurance are arranged by you.
Questions from Tandur, Parigi and Vikarabad town
Tandur to Gulbarga, 1 ton dal, how soon can you send a tempo?
Book during working hours and we confirm on the callback, usually for next-day loading. In harvest weeks give us an extra day.
Do I need an e-way bill to go into Karnataka?
Yes, if the goods are worth more than 50,000 rupees. The consignor or consignee generates it using the vehicle number we share after confirmation.
Can you take stone slabs in an Ace?
Yes, within up to 1,100 kg. Slabs reach that weight quickly, so tell us the count and thickness and we check before confirming.
Vikarabad to Hyderabad drop, can you do it?
Only if the road distance is over 100 km. Most Hyderabad drops from Vikarabad town are closer than that, so we usually cannot take them.
Will my load share the tempo?
No. One vehicle per consignment, carrying only your goods.
Who loads the bags?
You arrange loading and unloading labour. The driver secures the load with rope and tarpaulin.
How long to Solapur?
About 250 km, usually 1 day of road time for a tempo. Loading and unloading time is extra.
Can I watch the tempo on the way?
Yes. It is GPS tracked from dispatch to delivery and visible on the app.
Can I send home items to Bidar with you?
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.
Does the price include toll?
Yes. Toll is included in the trip quote. Rates are not fixed, so confirm the current figure at booking.
