Krishna Traders

I’m over at Krishna Traders in Shyam Nagar, which is part of Derapur in the Ramabai Nagar district. We aren’t just about one thing here; as traders, we handle a bit of everything that people might need for their construction work. It’s a lot of phone calls and checking on shipments that are supposed to be arriving. Sometimes a truck gets delayed halfway across the state and I have to explain that to someone who was expecting their order two hours ago. It’s stressful, but it’s the life I chose. Shyam Nagar is a good spot for us because it’s central enough that we can get to most places in the district without too much trouble. I’ve got a small office here, but I’m rarely sitting in the chair. Most of the time I’m out in the loading area or talking to the drivers. We have to keep a close eye on the inventory because things move fast and if I lose track, we’re in trouble. It’s not a glamorous job, and the yard is usually a mess of crates and pallets, but we know where everything is. People around Derapur know us as the place that just gets the job done without a lot of fuss. We just try to keep things simple and keep the supplies moving. There is always something to load or unload when the sun is up.
