Delhi to Guwahati truck charges
On a long route like this, the truck size decides most of the cost. The table shows our usual full-truck ranges and the part-load rate per tonne. The amount in your written quote is the final freight, with GST added separately.
| Truck | Typical load | Delhi to Guwahati (full truck) |
|---|---|---|
| Tata Ace / small pickup | about 750 kg to 1 tonne | ₹22,000 – 32,000 |
| 14 ft truck (Tata 407 / Eicher class) | about 2.5 to 4 tonnes | ₹34,000 – 48,000 |
| 19 ft / 20 ft truck | about 5 to 7 tonnes | ₹46,000 – 68,000 |
| 22 ft / 24 ft truck | about 7 to 10 tonnes | ₹62,000 – 88,000 |
| 32 ft single-axle (SXL) | about 7 to 9 tonnes, high volume | ₹76,000 – 1,10,000 |
| 32 ft multi-axle (MXL) | about 15 to 18 tonnes | ₹92,000 – 1,32,000 |
| 40 ft container / trailer | about 20 to 26 tonnes | ₹1,25,000 – 1,75,000 |
| Part load (shared truck) | per tonne | ₹8,500 – 12,500 per tonne |
One-way charges. Capacity varies by vehicle type and the rules that apply to it. Delivery beyond Guwahati to other North-East towns is quoted separately.
The road from Delhi to Guwahati
From Delhi the truck heads to Lucknow and then follows the East-West corridor (NH-27) through Gorakhpur, across north Bihar and past Siliguri into Assam. Every road journey to the North-East passes through the narrow Siliguri corridor in north Bengal, so this part of the trip often takes longer than the distance suggests.
A full truck usually takes 5 to 7 days from loading to delivery. A part load can take 1 to 2 days more. On a trip this long we prefer to give you a realistic window rather than a tight date, and we keep you informed if the truck is delayed.
Paperwork matters more on this route
Goods entering Assam can be checked by state tax officers on the road. A truck with incomplete papers can be held until the papers are sorted, which adds days to the trip. Before dispatch we check that these travel with the truck:
- Tax invoice or delivery challan for the full consignment.
- E-way bill for taxable goods worth more than ₹50,000. Its validity is based on distance, so for Guwahati it should cover more than a week of travel.
- The receiver's name, Guwahati address and GST number if it is a business delivery.
- For household goods, a packing list and a self-declaration that the goods are used personal items.
We give you a lorry receipt (LR) at loading, listing the number of packages and the receiver details.
Example: a 4 tonne shipment to Guwahati
An electrical goods distributor sends 4 tonnes of cartons from Delhi to Guwahati. As a part load, 4 tonnes at ₹8,500 to ₹12,500 per tonne is about ₹34,000 to ₹50,000. A reserved 19 ft or 20 ft truck costs ₹46,000 to ₹68,000. Because Guwahati is near the far end of this distance band, quotes on this route usually sit towards the upper half of each range. IGST is added on top.
Part load is common on this route
Many businesses send goods to Guwahati in smaller lots. A part load lets you pay only for the tonnes you send, and your goods share the truck with other bookings for Assam. It is a good fit for trade stock, spare parts and small office moves.
A full truck is better for 3 tonnes or more, for machinery, and for goods that should not be unloaded on the way. The truck is reserved for you and goes from your pickup point to your drop point.
Packing for a long road trip
A week on the road means more vibration and more handling than a short trip. We pack and load with that in mind:
- Cartons are sealed and marked with your name and the package number.
- Machines are fixed on wooden skids or crated so they cannot slide.
- Heavy items go at the bottom and lighter cartons on top.
- The load is tied down and covered with a tarpaulin in open trucks.
Pickup in Delhi and delivery in Guwahati
We collect from homes, shops, warehouses and factories anywhere in Delhi and the rest of NCR, including Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and Gurgaon.
In Guwahati we deliver across the city, including Amingaon and Changsari on the north bank, Bamunimaidam, Beltola, Dispur, Lokhra and Jalukbari. For drops in other North-East towns, ask us for an onward quote.
How to book
- Call +91 9540160277 with the pickup point, the Guwahati address, the goods list and the date.
- We suggest a full truck or part load and send a written quote.
- Share the invoice and e-way bill details so we can check them before the truck leaves.
- The goods are loaded and you get the LR and driver details.
- The goods are delivered in Guwahati and the receiver signs for them.
Over several days on the road, a GPS tracking link is the easiest way to follow the truck. Ask for it at booking, or call us between 9 am and 6 pm, Monday to Saturday, for the latest location.
Because the goods spend several days in transit, many customers add cover on the declared value. It is optional and priced in the quote; see the transit insurance page.
If you are moving your home to Assam, our packers and movers in Guwahati page has the details. A car can travel separately with our car transport in Guwahati service.
