Rakesh Tiwari, state president, All India Motor Transport Congress,
Madhya Pradesh said, “Logistic movement
has gone up substantially in the first quarter and bookings for the rest of
the weeks are also high. Bookings for farm supplies and agricultural supplies
like pumps, machine parts and others have increased and the volume is higher
than the past season.” Engaging more
than 90 per cent truckers in transportation, the estimated movement of trucks
from Indore is around 4,000-5,000 per day, according to the association of
transporters.
Transporters said, most truckers and transport companies are booked a
week in advance on account of the surge in loads.
March to June is the peak season for transporters where over 50 per cent
of the annual load is transported.
