# Do you provide early-morning pickup services for factory employees?

**Short answer:** Yes: pre-dawn pickups planned back from the shift start.

Yes. Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels runs early-morning pickups for factory employees on morning shifts, often before dawn. The first pickup is worked back from the shift start, staff wait at fixed points, and every car is GPS-tracked, so the coordinator can see the run. The standard 20% night charge applies to driving before 6 AM unless your package says otherwise.

## Key facts: early pickups

| Timing | First pickup worked back from the shift start |
| Pickup points | Fixed points with a landmark or pin |

## 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.
