Book Tata AceAcross the Gulf of Khambhat by road
Bhavnagar is Saurashtra's industrial port city. The district holds the Alang ship recycling yard, and the steel recovered there feeds a long line of re-rolling mills around the city. Add salt works, plastics units and diamond cutting, and Bhavnagar ends up buying a steady stream of chemicals, machinery spares and packaging from Vadodara. TruckGuru books a full truck with driver for this lane, which is about 210 km by road.
Book on the site or call +91-7202045678. You will get a call back within 30 minutes of a confirmed booking, during working hours.
Is a day enough?
Yes. Transit is 1 day, and on most bookings the truck loads in the morning and unloads at Bhavnagar the same evening or early next morning. Drivers usually avoid Ahmedabad altogether: they go west from Vadodara towards Tarapur and Vataman, then down the coastal side to Bhavnagar. It is a shorter run than going around through the city, and the road has fewer jams.
The trip stays inside Gujarat, but an e-way bill is still needed for goods above Rs.50,000. The consignor or consignee generates it.
Typical cargo on this lane
- Industrial chemicals and solvents in drums or carboys
- Pumps, motors, bearings and spares for the re-rolling mills
- Plastic granules and finished plastic goods
- Corrugated boxes and woven sacks for salt and agri packing
- Electrical panels and cable drums for plant projects
Most of these are factory-to-factory moves with a fixed consignee and a dock, which keeps loading simple. The odd ones out are project loads for new units on the coast, where the site may still be under construction and the approach road unpaved. Tell us if that is the case.
Smaller loads, smaller trucks
Because the lane is short, many shippers here send part of a production run rather than a full week's output. That makes the smaller vehicles useful: an Ace / Dost / Pickup for up to 1,100 kg of spares, a 14FT Eicher for 2-3 ton. For steel or heavy fabricated items going to the mills, an open 19FT Eicher handles 7 ton. Drums of chemicals usually go on a 17FT. Details of the light vehicles are on the Tata Ace page.

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. Even on a 1-day lane, the fare changes with the date, the cargo and how many trucks are free near your pickup point. Toll is already in.
Unloading at mills and the port side
Re-rolling mills and plants on the Sihor and Alang side often have their own crane or forklift, and they unload fast. City godowns usually do not. If your consignee is in an older market area, check whether a 19FT truck can reach the gate before you book it. A smaller truck that reaches the door is better than a big one parked a street away.
A judgment call from experience: if the load is for a plant that works one shift, ask the truck to arrive before noon. Trucks that reach after the shift wait overnight, and that delays the next pickup you might have planned with the same vehicle.
You arrange labour at both ends, and transit insurance if required. The driver issues a digital Lorry Receipt at loading; GPS tracking runs till delivery; the GST invoice follows. For other lanes from the city, see truck hire in Vadodara, and from the state capital, Ahmedabad.
