How early does the first pickup start?
It depends on the shift start, the route length and the number of pickups. A route from Ahmedabad to the plants near Becharaji takes about 2.5 hours on its own, so its first pickup is much earlier than a village route a few kilometres from the gate.
| Route | Drive to the plant area | First pickup |
|---|---|---|
| Villages near Becharaji | Short | Shortly before the shift |
| Mehsana (40 km from Becharaji) | About 1 hour | About 1.5 hours before, plus pickups |
| Ahmedabad (100 km) | About 2.5 hours | About 3 hours before, plus pickups |
How do staff make sure they do not miss the vehicle?
Fixed pickup points, a fixed time at each, and the driver's number in hand. The driver can call the first few staff if your company wants a wake-up check.
Does the night charge apply to early pickups?
On standard trips, driving between 10 PM and 6 AM adds 20%. For regular early-shift transport, ask us how the early runs are priced in your monthly package quote.
