Sri Lakshmi Ventakeshwara Transport

We are set up at A-19 in Yeshwantpur. If you know the area, you know how hectic it gets with all the trucks and the noise from the market. Our spot is right in the middle of it all. It’s mostly just a place for us to park the vehicles and keep the paperwork straight. There’s always someone coming or going at odd hours. The floor is usually covered in bits of rope and scraps of wood from the crates. We don't really have a fancy waiting area for customers, just an old wooden bench that’s seen a lot of use over the years. We spend our days checking the tires, filling out the forms, and making sure the loads are tied down right so nothing slides around. It’s a lot of waiting for the right person to show up or for the traffic to clear out a bit so we can pull out. Sometimes the rain makes everything a mess, but we just throw a tarp over everything and keep going. We don’t have any big corporate plans for the future. We just want to make sure the stuff gets where it’s supposed to go without a lot of trouble. Most of us have been working here for years, so we know the local routes pretty well. It’s a regular job with regular people. We have a small kettle in the back for making tea when it gets quiet. It’s just a practical way to earn a living.
