This service collects small shipments from many senders in Guwahati, loads them together into shared trucks for each route, and delivers to shops and offices in the other North-East states. You run a small godown for sorting, a booking counter, a pickup van for city collections and simple phone-based tracking, and hire trucks by the trip.
Guwahati is the main road and rail gateway to the North-East, and its traders supply the six other states of the region. NABARD's 2023-24 credit plan for Kamrup Metropolitan puts MSME lending at Rs 5,023 Cr, by far its largest sector, because the city is the commercial gateway to those states. Many small senders struggle to fill a truck or track goods on long hill routes.
You need GST, a trade licence, a godown with a loading bay, goods insurance, and reliable truck owners for each route. Learn each state's entry rules and the e-way bill (the online permit needed to move goods). The hard part is competition from long-running transport firms and keeping trucks full on return trips. Landslides and road closures in the monsoon cause delays, so honest updates to customers matter.
Start with a few routes you know well. Win customers by visiting wholesale markets such as Fancy Bazar, running fixed departure days, and sending photo proof of delivery.
