Most businesses that ship goods intercity have hit the same wall: you call a broker, get a number over the phone, and by the time the truck is loaded, the bill looks nothing like what was discussed. That gap between quoted and billed is exactly why TruckGuru exists.
Check the freight rate on your route before you commit to anything. Book a verified truck online. Track it in real time. No broker in the middle, no surprises on the invoice. Use the freight calculator.
If your business moves 500 kg or more per consignment on a regular intercity route, that is the exact situation we built this for. The fleet goes from a Tata Ace handling 750 kg to 1100 kg up to a 32ft container at 15 tonnes, which covers the bulk of B2B intercity freight without needing to juggle multiple vendors.
How Booking Works
You do not need to call anyone. Enter your route details, see what is available with rates attached, pick your truck, and confirm. That is the entire process.
- Enter pickup city, drop city, cargo type, and schedule
- Choose the truck size that matches your load -- see the truck size guide if you are unsure
- See the confirmed rate for that specific route -- no hidden add-ons
- Confirm the booking -- no advance deposit needed at inquiry stage
- Track via GPS once the truck is on the road
- Get delivery confirmation and invoice after drop-off
If you are shipping the same corridor every week or month, recurring bookings are available so you skip the selection process each time. Works on web and mobile.
Available Truck Sizes
The right truck depends on your cargo weight and volume. For full dimensions and load capacity details, see the truck size guide.

Routes We Cover
We move freight across India's major commercial corridors. The busiest routes connect manufacturing and distribution hubs -- Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, and Kolkata see bookings daily.
Most active routes:
- Delhi to Mumbai -- 1,400 km, 2-3 days transit
- Ahmedabad to Mumbai -- 530 km, 1 day transit
- Delhi to Bangalore -- 2,150 km, 3-4 days
- Chennai to Hyderabad -- 630 km, 1 day transit
- Pune to Coimbatore -- 1,100 km, 2-3 days
- Kolkata to Delhi -- 1,500 km, 3-4 days
Smaller city lanes may have a 1-2 day dispatch gap depending on truck availability at origin. When you search your route on the truck booking online page, live availability is shown for that date.
Pricing -- What You See Is What You Pay
Freight rates depend on route distance, truck category, load weight, and how far in advance you are booking. The rate shown at booking is the rate on your invoice. No fuel surcharges, no loading fees added after the fact.
A 14ft truck on Delhi-Jaipur (280 km) typically runs Rs. 6,000-9,000. A 32ft container on Mumbai-Bangalore falls in the Rs. 55,000-75,000 range. Diesel prices move rates. Q4 demand pushes them higher across most corridors. And if a particular lane is tight that week, you will see that reflected in the quote before you confirm anything. Check what your route costs on the freight calculator before you commit.
Documentation
Intercity freight has a standard set of paperwork requirements. We handle the transport side digitally.
The LR (Lorry Receipt) travels with the goods and is generated at dispatch -- if a transporter cannot produce one, that is a problem worth knowing upfront. We generate it digitally so there is no paperwork scramble at pickup. The digital invoice carries the full GST breakup. For consignments above Rs. 50,000 in value, e-way bill support is included. A delivery receipt is issued after drop-off and closes the consignment record on both ends.
If your cargo needs additional permits -- pharmaceutical cold chain, hazardous materials, certain agri produce -- those are on the shipper's side. We handle the transport compliance.
Who This Works Best For
The typical shipper on TruckGuru has a regular route and moves goods at least once or twice a month. That might be a manufacturer dispatching finished goods to a warehouse in another state, a trader restocking retail inventory from a supplier city, an e-commerce business moving stock between fulfilment centres, or an industrial buyer pulling raw materials from a supplier location on a fixed schedule.
We do FTL only. If you want to share truck space with other consignments, that is part-load freight and it is not something we offer here. For businesses exploring the full range of vehicle options, the truck type guide is a good starting point.
Transportation Services FAQ
Service Scope
1. What type of transportation services does TruckGuru provide?
TruckGuru provides B2B full truckload (FTL) intercity goods transportation across India. Businesses, manufacturers, and traders book trucks for commercial freight moving between cities on routes above 100 km. Part-load freight, household shifting, local city delivery, and automobile transport are not offered on this platform.
2. Does TruckGuru offer part-load freight, household shifting, or local delivery?
No. TruckGuru is an FTL intercity platform only. Part-load (PTL/LTL), household relocation, within-city delivery, and vehicle transport are outside the scope of this service. Every booking covers one truck, one consignment, one shipper, for routes above 100 km.
3. Which businesses use TruckGuru transportation services most?
Manufacturers dispatching finished goods, distributors restocking retail inventory, FMCG companies moving stock between fulfilment hubs, pharmaceutical companies shipping to hospital procurement networks, and industrial buyers sourcing raw materials on fixed schedules are the primary users. Any business moving commercial goods intercity on regular corridors benefits from confirmed pricing before dispatch.
Freight Rates and Payment
4. How are intercity freight charges calculated?
TruckGuru charges by the kilometre -- not per kg, not per carton, not by item count. The trip cost is the distance between your pickup and delivery city multiplied by the per-km rate for the truck category selected. Toll charges are paid separately during the journey. The rate displayed in the freight calculator before booking is exactly the rate that appears on your invoice.
5. Do freight charges change after a booking is confirmed?
No. The rate confirmed at booking does not change between confirmation and delivery. No fuel surcharges, loading fees, or gate charges are added after the booking is locked. Toll charges are separate from the invoice and are paid during transit by the driver.
6. Is an advance deposit required to check rates or book a truck?
No advance deposit is required to check rates or truck availability. The freight calculator on the website and app shows live rates for any route without requiring payment. Payment begins at 5% of the trip cost at booking confirmation, 90% at loading, and 5% after proof of delivery.
Truck Sizes and Load Capacity
7. What truck sizes and load capacities are available?
Five categories are available for intercity FTL booking:
Tata Ace / Bada Dost / Mahindra Pickup: up to 1.25T (1,250 kg). Eicher 14ft: 3.5Ton. Eicher 17ft: 5Ton. Eicher 19ft: 7Ton. 20ft truck: 6.5T. 32ft container: 7Ton, 16T, or 18T depending on tonnage tier. Match your verified cargo weight to the right category before booking -- overloading creates checkpost compliance issues on intercity routes.
8. How do I choose the right truck size for my consignment?
Weigh your cargo before booking -- never estimate. Select the smallest category that safely carries your verified weight: up to 1.25T (Tata Ace or Bada Dost), 1.25T-3.5T (14ft Eicher), 3.5T-6.5T (20ft truck), above 6.5T (32ft container). Oversizing adds Rs. 10-15 per extra km on every route. See the truck size guide for full load limits and body dimensions.
Routes, Coverage, and Documentation
9. Which cities and corridors does TruckGuru cover?
Major commercial and industrial corridors covered include Delhi-Mumbai, Ahmedabad-Mumbai, Delhi-Bangalore, Chennai-Hyderabad, Pune-Coimbatore, and Kolkata-Delhi. Tier-2 cities including Vadodara, Surat, Nagpur, Indore, Coimbatore, Visakhapatnam, Jamnagar, and Rajkot are also served. Less-frequent corridors may have a 1-2 day dispatch gap depending on truck availability at the origin city.
10. What documents are included with every TruckGuru shipment?
Every consignment includes a digitally generated Lorry Receipt (LR) at dispatch, a GST-compliant invoice, e-way bill support for shipments above Rs. 50,000, and a digital delivery receipt after drop-off. Industry-specific permits -- pharmaceutical approvals, hazardous material clearances, or state-specific agricultural produce permits -- are the shipper's responsibility and must be provided before the truck departs.
11. What factors affect truck availability on a specific route?
Route demand volume, seasonal freight peaks (post-harvest agricultural belts, Q4 manufacturing dispatches, festival restocking), fleet positioning at origin city, and booking lead time all affect availability. High-frequency corridors like Mumbai-Delhi or Ahmedabad-Pune have consistent same-day availability. Remote origin cities and low-frequency corridors benefit from 2-3 days advance booking.
Booking and Tracking
12. Can I track my shipment in real time after dispatch?
Yes. Once the truck is dispatched, GPS tracking is live through the TruckGuru platform and mobile app. You can check the consignment's current location at any point during transit. A delivery confirmation is issued automatically once the truck unloads at the destination, and the digital invoice closes the consignment record.
13. How early do I need to book an intercity truck?
On high-frequency corridors such as Delhi to Mumbai or Ahmedabad to Mumbai, same-day or next-day trucks are typically available. For less-active routes or smaller origin cities, booking 2-3 days in advance secures better vehicle availability and avoids rate pressure during seasonal demand spikes. For Q4 and post-harvest peaks on agricultural corridors, book 4-5 days ahead.
14. Can I set up recurring bookings for the same route?
Yes. Businesses shipping the same corridor weekly or monthly can set up recurring bookings on the TruckGuru platform to skip manual truck selection on repeat trips. This is available through both the web platform and the mobile app at truckguru.co.in.
Call 72020 45678 if you have a specific corridor, a recurring freight requirement, or a load that does not fit neatly into one of the standard truck categories.
