In India, road transport plays a huge role in moving industrial goods like steel, machinery, and hardware. Yet, it’s often underestimated or misunderstood. Let’s break down the most common myths and compare them with the reality on ground.
Myth 1: Road Transport is Too Slow
Reality: With an expanding highway network and dedicated industrial routes, road transport can be extremely fast—especially for intercity and intrastate delivery. In many cases, it’s quicker than waiting for space on rail or air cargo.
Myth 2: It’s Risky for Heavy Goods
Reality: When packed correctly and handled by professionals, steel and other heavy materials can be transported safely. Trucks are equipped to handle loads with special chassis, straps, and bracing.
Myth 3: It’s Not Suitable for Long Distances
Reality: Modern logistics fleets cover thousands of kilometers across India. With real-time tracking, route optimization, and scheduled stops, long-distance hauls by road are common.
Myth 4: It Lacks Transparency
Reality: Most professional logistics providers offer tracking, proof of delivery, and direct access to driver information. It’s no longer a black box.
