The document outlines several challenges faced by the Indian transport industry, including rising fuel costs that impact truck drivers' profits, idle trucks due to decreased demand during the pandemic, unpredictable traffic delays that can cause late deliveries, a lack of operational efficiency due to outdated manual methods, and poor quality warehousing that makes storage difficult. Adopting digital solutions like the Vahak app can help transport companies address issues like connecting truckers to loads and improving operational tasks.

Is transporting really an easy job?

3. The Indian transport industry is
growing astronomically.
It is known by most that the Indian logistics and transportation space is one of the major factors
for the country’s GDP growth

4. However, despite how valuable a field
transportation is, there are several
challenges faced byIndian transporter
that lead to bottlenecks both on and
off the road.

5. Let’s break down some of the major
challenges Indian transporters face!

6. Fuel hikes
For most well-off people, fuel hikes aren’t too big a problem. But for a truck driver who has to
travel across the country, each penny spent matters! With climbing fuel rates, many truck drivers
are forced to pay for their deliveries, out of their pocket.

7. Idle trucks
Ever since the pandemic struck, the demand for truck drivers has been dwindling. This is where
the assistance of apps and digital means comes into play! Instead of waiting long periods without
a load, truck drivers can easily find work on apps like Vahak.

8. Unpredictable delays
Be it traffic or bad weather, there are always problems that have to be faced when on the road.
These issues can lead to delay in load delivery, impacting the revenue generated by transport
companies.

9. Lack of operational efficiency
With digital channels being new and manual methods being inefficient, it is not surprising to see
many transporters struggling with operational tasks. Bulk orders, shortage of drivers and many
such issues rise frequently because of transporters’ tech-aversion.

10. Poor warehousing
Storage and warehousing is an important part of logistics. But since many Indian warehouses are
in a bad shape due to pests, shoddy design, water leakages, etc., storage of goods becomes a
hassle for transporters.

11. All of these problems (and more) can be solved easily by adopting digital channels like Vahak!
With the Vahak app, truckers and load owners are able to connect with each other easily.
