Maharashtra Road Carrier

If you head out toward the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, you’ll find us right across the way at 81/165/3 Nelamangala 17 Cross. Being on West Chord Road means there is a constant stream of trucks and heavy vehicles passing by, which is exactly where Maharashtra Road Carrier needs to be. The dust from the road is something we just live with, and the office always has a bit of that roadside smell to it. We have a big yard where the carriers can pull in, and there’s always someone shouting directions or checking a manifest. It’s a very practical kind of place. There aren't any fancy lobby areas or receptionists in uniforms; you just walk in and find someone behind a desk who knows what’s going on with the loads. The phone rings a lot with drivers calling from all over the place to report where they are. We have a small area for them to rest and get some water before they head out again. It can be a bit chaotic when three or four big trucks arrive at the same time, but we managed to keep a handle on it. The exhibition centre across the road holds these big events, and when that happens, the traffic gets even crazier than usual. We just stick to our side and keep the logistics moving as best as we can. It’s hard work and the hours are long, but that’s just how the transport business goes.
