Sri Balamurugan Transport Company

Sri Balamurugan Transport Company has its office in the SSS Building right by the Wastrapur Market in Chamrajpet. It’s always noisy around here with the market sellers shouting and the tractors moving around. We have been at number 15 for a long while now. Transport is a tough business because there are always delays or something wrong with a vehicle. We spend a lot of time on our phones talking to drivers and making sure the loads are safe. It’s mostly about knowing the routes and which roads are blocked during the rainy season. The office is small and usually smells like strong coffee because that’s what keeps us going during the night shifts. We have a couple of desks and a big map on the wall that’s peeling at the corners. It’s not the cleanest place but we know where everything is kept. People stop by to ask about rates or to check when their packages will arrive at the destination. We try to be honest about the timing even if it’s not what they want to hear. Sometimes the trucks break down and then it’s a whole day of stress getting a mechanic out there. We don’t have a website or anything like that, just a ledger and a phone that never stops ringing. It’s a lot of work but it’s what we know how to do. You just learn to live with the daily chaos of the market and the trucks.
