Book Tata AceA short run into north Gujarat's dairy and spice country
Mehsana district buys more from central Gujarat than its size suggests. Dudhsagar Dairy runs one of the largest milk plants in the state there, the Unjha APMC a little further north trades jeera and fennel in volumes few markets match, and the GIDC estates around Mehsana and Kadi keep asking for chemicals, packaging, pumps and steel. A good share of that comes up from Vadodara. TruckGuru books a dedicated full truck with driver for this Vadodara to Mehsana transport, about 190 km door to door.
Book online or call +91-7202045678. After the booking is placed, our team calls you back within 30 minutes during working hours to confirm the truck, the pickup slot and the documents.
How long it takes
Transit is same day possible depending on loading, otherwise next day. The road itself is not the problem. What decides it is when the truck is loaded. A truck that leaves Makarpura or Nandesari before noon usually reaches Mehsana while receiving docks are still open. Load in the late afternoon and the driver will park overnight and unload the next morning, because most units in Mehsana GIDC do not receive after dark.
So if the consignee needs it the same day, tell us that at booking and plan an early loading slot.
The road north
Drivers take the Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway to Ahmedabad, swing around the city on the SP Ring Road and pick up the highway to Mehsana through Kalol. It never leaves Gujarat, so there is no state border, but the e-way bill rule still applies: for goods worth more than Rs.50,000 the consignor or consignee generates it before the truck moves. Keep the invoice and the e-way bill with the driver.
The slow part is the ring road at Ahmedabad in the evening, when it fills with trucks heading for Sanand and Changodar. A driver who reaches it before 5 pm loses far less time.
What usually goes on these trucks
- Chemicals and intermediates from Nandesari and Padra for units in Mehsana and Kadi GIDC
- Pumps, valves, switchgear and fabricated parts from Makarpura engineering shops
- Corrugated boxes, laminates and dairy packaging material
- Pipes, steel sections and building material for projects in north Gujarat
- Pharma packaging and finished formulations moving to distributors
Coming back, Mehsana sends out cumin, castor, cotton bales from Kadi and dairy products, which helps when trucks are being placed on this lane.
Picking the truck
Most loads on this lane are below 3 tonnes, which makes the 14FT Eicher the usual booking. A pallet or two of spares fits an Ace / Dost / Pickup. Steel bundles and pipe lengths need a 19FT body, and anything that has to stay dry and sealed, such as pharma or electronics, should go in a 20FT container. Our truck size guide lists body dimensions if you are not sure, and the Eicher truck page covers the 14FT to 19FT range in more detail.

One thing that often goes wrong
Unloading. TruckGuru supplies the truck and driver only, and loading and unloading labour is arranged by the customer. At smaller units near Mehsana there may be no forklift or hamals on site, and a 19FT truck full of steel can wait half a day for labour. Confirm unloading arrangements with the consignee before you book, not after the truck arrives.
Other Vadodara lanes are listed on our truck hire in Vadodara page, and you can also book from the TruckGuru app.
Questions shippers ask us about Mehsana
Can the truck reach Mehsana the same day?
Often, yes, if loading is done by late morning. The distance is about 190 km. If loading finishes late in the day, the truck unloads next morning.
What does a 14FT Eicher cost from Vadodara to Mehsana?
A 14FT Eicher from Vadodara to Mehsana, about 190 km, is indicatively Rs.5,900 - Rs.6,700 for the trip, toll included (checked September 2026). Rates are not fixed; confirm the current rate at booking.
Do I need an e-way bill if it stays inside Gujarat?
Yes, for goods worth more than Rs.50,000. The consignor or consignee generates it. The driver should carry it with the invoice.
Will the truck carry someone else's goods too?
No. You get the full truck for your consignment only.
Is this a daily service with a fixed departure?
No. It is a dedicated truck booked for the day you need it, not a scheduled service. Give us the date and we place a truck for that date.
Can I deliver to Unjha or Kadi instead of Mehsana town?
Yes. Share the exact unloading address at booking. The fare is worked out on the actual distance to that address, and rates are not fixed.
Who loads and unloads the material?
You do, or your consignee does. We supply the truck and driver; labour at both ends is your arrangement.
Can I track the truck?
Yes. Every truck has GPS tracking from dispatch to delivery, and you get a digital Lorry Receipt at loading.
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.
Is my cargo insured by you?
Transit insurance is arranged by the customer. Many shippers already have an annual marine or transit policy that covers these trips.
When do I get the GST invoice?
After delivery. It comes with the trip details and the Lorry Receipt number so your accounts team can match it.
How early should I book?
A day ahead is usually enough on this lane. In the weeks before Diwali, book two days ahead because Vadodara trucks get tight.
