Aasma Transport Co

Umerkhadi is a busy place to be, and our office on Meenakshi Koli Street is right in the middle of it all. It’s a narrow street, so things can get a bit tight when we have vehicles coming through. We’ve been here at Aasma Transport Co for a good while, and the neighborhood feels like home. The office isn't much to look at, just a room with some benches and the usual paperwork scattered around. We spend a lot of time waiting on phone calls and checking with the guys on the road to see where they’ve reached. There’s a lot of noise from the street, children playing and people shouting across to each other, which you just get used to after a week or two. We don’t bother with anything corporate; it’s just about getting the trucks where they need to go. Sometimes the monsoon makes the street a bit of a mess, but we still keep things moving as best as we can. We have our regulars who come by for transport work, and we usually have a pot of tea going for whoever stops in. It’s honest work, and it keeps us busy from morning till late. We don’t have a big team, just enough of us to keep the schedules straight and the business running on Meenakshi Koli Street. Sometimes the power goes out, so we just sit outside and wait for it to come back.
