Lasmamma Transport

We have a couple of trucks parked out by the house in Koratapalle. Lasmamma herself started this years ago because there was always stuff needing to be moved between the villages and the main town. We spend a lot of time checking the oil and making sure the tires are okay for the rough roads in Ramadugu. It is not a clean job, there is always grease under the fingernails and dust in the hair. We haul all sorts of things, whatever fits in the back of the vehicle. Sometimes it's bags of grain and other times it's construction materials like sand or bricks. The paperwork is kept in a folder in the cab, usually a bit crumpled. We don't have a big office with computers, we just talk to people and figure out the route. Drivers come and go, and we have to make sure someone is always ready to go when a call comes in. The village is small, so everyone knows whose truck is passing by. Sometimes a breakdown happens in the middle of nowhere and we have to go out with tools to fix it on the shoulder of the road. It’s long hours and a lot of sitting in the heat. We just try to keep the wheels turning so the goods get to where they need to be. It is just a local transport business run from home at 5-81. We stay busy with the local hauls mostly.
