One of the most compelling and astonishing thing that will come to your mind while I mention the word “Truck” will surely be lots of colors, painting, slogans and richly dressed up. They are usually ramshackle, overloaded, crawling on the roads, highways and lanes. The truck transportation business in India is the one booming despite the inflations, fuel costs and other issues and they have successfully elevated these things to be success on Indian roads. The truck board are a loved machine of their owners, and maybe that’s why they are gleefully decorated from left, right and centre.

 

The truck transport in India is one of the biggest, lagging just behind the Indian railways. In case if you ever come across any truck owner, they will call it as their second wives and that’s why such jewelries of colors are decorated over them. You will never get bored while you are driving behind a truck as they have lots of good reading materials, making your time passed in jams and on red lights. To tickle a funny bone, it has been believed that truck boards do write the message “HONK or Use Dipper At Night” just to help the driver get the way or alert them to not to murder you, accidentally!

Here is a list of some amazing reasons that why Indian drivers decorate and dress up their trucks so much:

·         Trucks are their home and family

·         They are their establishments

·         They are their vehicle and wagon.

·         They refer them as their wife, strangely.

·         Their machine and temple, both of them.

 

Apart from those loads of colors, you will also find a bevy of stiff and entertaining slogans from poems to warning and a lot more. A few of the slogans that will amuse you:

·         Mother Blessings

·         Awaz Dedo, translating to Throw me a shout

·         Take poison but do not believe girls

·         No girlfriends and no tensions

·         The offspring of a ship

 

Truly, an interesting cart for everyone.


How to find a truck load for yourself?

 

Indian trucks have an image of Giant women, which also act as a house for most of the truck drivers at night or shelter in crisis. To find a loads, better called as truck loads, you will need Load boards. Anyone, who is looking or searching for the loads / trucks / truck loads, they have to open an account on that particular load board to avail the services.

 

Load boards are the kind of Internet tools for trucking industry. They are most contemporary and modern way for freight industry and truck transportation business in India to find solutions for shipments and cargo services. More and more shippers are now relying on truck loads and exchange their shipment services and loads. It has elevated the need of brokers, who were earlier the bridging link between these parties, and thus reduced cost of logistics without any extra payment fee. These online bulletin boards are available online mostly.
