R K Transport

Our small office is tucked away at 117 Nehru Bazar. If you know the area, you know how crowded it gets with shoppers and carts everywhere. It can be a real headache trying to coordinate trucks in such a narrow place, but we have managed to do it for years. Most mornings start with a lot of shouting and trying to find a place to park. It’s not a quiet job. We have stacks of registers on the desk and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it works for what we need. Dealing with transport in a market like this means you have to be ready for anything. Traffic jams are just a part of life. We don’t use any high-tech systems, just our phones and our memories of which driver is reliable. It’s a lot of sitting in the heat and waiting for news from the highway. We’ve known the other shopkeepers around here for a long time, so there is always someone to talk to while we wait for the next load to be ready. It’s a tough business and sometimes things go wrong, but we just try to fix the problems and get on with the next day. The work is mostly about just being here and answering the phone when it rings. It’s basic, it’s loud, and it’s what we do from this little corner of the bazar.
