Jai Shiv Transport Co

We are based out of Sanganer at the Muhana Sabji Mandi, specifically at C-46. If you know the area, you know it’s one of the biggest hubs for fresh produce. Our day usually starts before the sun is even up. There are crates piled high everywhere and the smell of fresh vegetables is always in the air. We have a small corner where we manage our transport business. It’s mostly about getting things from the farmers to the city markets or even further away. The roads around the mandi are always crowded with carts and tractors, so moving a big vehicle takes a lot of patience. We have a few regular drivers who have been with us for years. They know the routes better than anyone. We don't have a big staff, just a couple of us to handle the bookings and the cash. It’s a very manual process, writing everything down in registers. Sometimes the market prices drop and everyone is in a bad mood, or the rain ruins a shipment, and we have to figure out the losses. It’s a stressful environment but it’s also very lively. We drink a lot of tea to stay awake during the early shifts. It’s a straightforward life, just making sure the wheels keep turning so the food gets to where it’s going. We don’t put on any acts; what you see is what you get.
