Sri Annai Meenachi Transport

Sri Annai Meenachi Transport is located at No.28 in Nethaji Nagar, St. Thomas Mount. Being in Chennai, it is almost always hot and humid here. We spend most of our time out near the trucks or sitting in the office with the fan on high. Nethaji Nagar is a busy spot with people always moving about. We handle transport, which means we are constantly looking at maps and talking to drivers on the phone. The area around St. Thomas Mount has its own rhythm. We have got the 600016 pincode marked on everything we own. Our office has a lot of calendars on the wall and a very old desk. We do a lot of heavy lifting and moving goods from one side of the city to the other. Sometimes we go further out, but mostly it is local work. It is not an easy job, especially in the middle of the day when the sun is beating down on the asphalt. We just try to get the loads secured properly before the trucks leave. My clothes are usually soaked with sweat by noon. We don't have a fancy website or any marketing people. It is just us and the lorries. We have known some of our drivers for decades. We share meals and complain about the fuel prices together. It is a hard-earned living. We just keep the wheels turning and hope the traffic isn't too bad on the way back home. (259 words)
