Mehta Interstate Transport Corporation

Our place is at Cg 192 in Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar. If you know the area, you know it’s nothing but trucks and warehouses. Mehta Interstate Transport Corporation has been here for a good while. We deal with the long-distance stuff, mostly moving things across state lines. The office is right in the middle of all the noise. It’s a lot of heavy lifting and loud engines around here. We spend our days tracking where the trucks are and making sure the drivers have what they need for the road. It’s a dusty part of town but that’s just the nature of transport. We have a lot of paperwork because of the different state rules. There’s no fancy lobby here, just some desks and a lot of maps. We drink a lot of tea and talk to people coming in from all over. It's a basic setup. We focus on getting the goods loaded and sent off. Sometimes there are delays with the weather or the roads, and we just have to deal with it as it comes. It’s a rough and ready kind of business. We don't do much advertising; most people just know where we are in the transport nagar. We just keep the wheels turning day in and day out. It’s hard work and the days are long, but we just get on with it. It is what it is.
