Sneha Roadlines

Our spot is over in Yeshwantpur at the D Devaraj Urs Truck Terminals. Specifically, we are on the first floor of the D 77 building in the 2nd Stage industrial suburb. If you know where Kanteerava Studio is, we are basically right across from there. It is a very industrial part of town, so there is always the sound of big engines and heavy trucks moving around. The office itself is pretty basic. We have a lot of ledgers and paperwork piled up because transport involves a lot of tracking. Drivers come in after long trips to hand over their slips and get some rest. It’s a dusty area, especially when the wind picks up in the afternoon. We spend a lot of time on the phone coordinating where the next load is going. The terminal is a busy place with a lot of people moving goods across the state. We’ve stayed in this same spot for a long time because it’s close to the main transport routes. There is a small tea stall nearby where everyone congregates. Our desks are a bit old and the chairs creak, but it works for what we need. It’s not a fancy corporate environment, just a place for people who know the road. We deal with logistics every single day and it’s mostly about making sure the trucks are moving and the drivers are okay. That’s the reality of life at the terminal for us here.
