Economical surface cargo for heavy shipments

Not every parcel needs to fly. For machinery, furniture, spare parts, inventory restock, retail deliveries, household items and anything else where cost matters more than speed — road freight is 2–3× cheaper than air.

From Bangalore we route through the major highway corridors — NH 44 north to Hyderabad, Nagpur and Delhi; NH 48 west to Pune and Mumbai; NH 75 to Mangalore; NH 275 to Mysuru — and onward via DTDC’s pan-India surface network. We offer three tiers:

  • DTDC Surface Cargo — per-kg pricing from ₹80/kg, ideal for 30–500 kg shipments
  • Partial truckload (LTL) — shared truck space, ideal for 500 kg – 3 tonnes
  • Full truckload (FTL) — dedicated truck, ideal for 3 tonnes+ or relocation

FAQs

Questions people ask

What's the minimum weight for surface cargo?

30 kg minimum at ₹80/kg. Below that, regular Standard courier at ₹150/kg or Express at ₹220/kg is more practical.

How long does road freight take?

Surface cargo takes 5–8 days depending on destination — metros 5–6 days, tier-2 cities 6–8 days. FTL direct-to-dock is typically 3–6 days.

Can you pick up from anywhere in Bangalore?

Absolutely — dial +91 9164995001 or WhatsApp us. We collect from any Bangalore address (home, office, tech-park gate) round the clock; 10 kg+ : pickup is free, covering Koramangala, Indiranagar, Whitefield, Electronic City, HSR Layout, Marathahalli, BTM Layout, Jayanagar, Malleshwaram, Hebbal and surrounding areas. Other locations on request.

Do you provide packaging for heavy items?

Yes — corrugated boxes, wooden crates, bubble wrap, pallet shrink-wrap. For fragile or high-value items we recommend crating, which has a small additional cost.

Is my cargo insured?

Standard carrier liability applies by default. For valuables, declared-value insurance at ~1–2% of value is strongly recommended. We'll quote along with the shipping rate.

Can I ship a bike or car?

Yes — for vehicle relocation see our [Packers & Movers](/services/packers-movers/) service. We handle car & bike transport via specialist carriers.

Have bulk cargo to move?
