Talan Transports

Our spot is Shop No 1 in the New Vegetable Market on Air Force Road in Faridabad N I T. Being near the market means things start very early for Talan Transports. We usually get to the shop while it’s still dark out. The smell of fresh vegetables is everywhere. We have a small space where we keep our tools and a few benches for the guys to sit on. It’s a busy area with a lot of people moving around, so we have to be careful when we back the trucks in. We move a lot of food and other goods that people need every day. The office is just a corner of the shop with a desk that’s seen better years. We don't have a lot of bells and whistles. We just focus on getting the trucks loaded and out on the road. Sometimes the rain turns the market area into a muddy mess, and that makes our job twice as hard. But we deal with it. We’ve been part of this market for a while now, and the other traders are like neighbors to us. We talk about the prices and the traffic while we wait for the loaders to finish. It’s a practical life, centered around this one shop on Air Force Road. We just keep the engines running and make sure the deliveries happen before the market closes for the day.
