Rajitha Transport

Rajitha Transport is just us working out of the house here in Dharmaraopettah. House number 1-253 is where everything happens, right in the Khanapur area. We spend most of our mornings checking the trucks and making sure everything is ready for the day. It gets pretty hot out here, so we try to get an early start before the sun really hits. My family has lived in this village for a long time, and the business grew out of just having one small vehicle. Now we handle more, but it’s still just a local thing. People from the village come by the gate and ask if we can move their stuff. Sometimes it’s grain, sometimes it’s construction materials. The road to Khanapur can be a bit rough on the tires, so we are always fixing something or other in the yard. It’s not a fancy setup with a big sign or a front desk. We just have a small table and some chairs where we keep the logs. My nephew helps with the driving when he isn't busy. We drink a lot of tea while we wait for the next load to be ready. It’s a lot of waiting and then a lot of rushing. That is just how transport goes. We don’t have a website or anything like that, just the phone and people knowing where 1-253 is. It keeps the food on the table and we know everyone around here.
