Anil Transport

This specific location for our transport work is in Ambedkar Nagar, Karimnagar, at house number 4-5-124/1. It’s a busy part of the city, and we have to be careful with the timing of when the trucks leave so they don't get stuck in the morning rush. The office is really just a front room of the house where we’ve set up a couple of desks and a filing cabinet. It’s a bit cramped, especially when the drivers come in to drop off their logs or pick up their next assignments. We’ve been in this neighborhood for a long time, so the neighbors are used to the sound of the diesel engines early in the morning. We don’t have any big signs or bright lights outside. People around here just know us by name. It’s a lot of coordination, making sure the loads are balanced and the drivers have enough fuel for the long hauls. Sometimes a truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere, and we have to scramble to get it fixed or find a replacement. Those are the long days that keep us up late. We don't use any fancy software, just a big paper calendar and our cell phones. It’s a hands-on business and we are involved in every part of it. We don't pretend to be anything we aren't. We just move stuff for people and try to stay honest about how long it will take. It’s a decent way to make a living in Karimnagar.
