Jay Mataji Roadways

You can find us at Plot No 56 in Sector 9 C. We are right near Hotel Gokul on the National Highway in Gandhidham. Being right by the highway is pretty much essential for a roadways business. You can hear the big rigs rolling by at all hours of the night. We spend most of our time dealing with drivers and making sure the trucks are in good enough shape to make the long hauls across Kachchh and beyond. It’s a lot of logistical juggling, and things rarely go exactly as planned. A tire might blow out or a road might be closed, and then we have to change everything on the fly. We don't have a polished corporate office. It’s more of a functional space where we can sit down with a cup of tea and look over the route maps. Our neighbors at the hotel probably see us more than our families do some weeks. It’s a bit of a rough life, always being on the move or waiting for a truck to return, but it’s what we do. We don't make any big promises; we just try to get the loads delivered without too much trouble. The wind out here in Gandhidham can be really something else, especially in the winter. We just keep the gates open and the engines running.
