Owned-fleet FTL & PTL carrier · Since 1985

40 years moving India's freight.

Best Roadways Limited is an owned-fleet FTL and PTL carrier founded in Bombay in 1985. It runs 810 owned closed-body trucks from 63 branches pan-India and operates the largest multi-storey customs bonded warehouse at JNPT, Navi Mumbai — still family-run, still answering the phone.

Four services, one operator: full truck load, part truck load, chemical logistics and warehousing at JNPT — all run on owned vehicles and BRL-staffed branches.

Because an owned fleet does not vanish at month-end or in peak season. Best Roadways puts its own drivers, its own closed-body trucks and its own branch staff on every load, so placement, transit and PODs stay accountable to one company.

Market trucks disappear at month-end. Owned trucks don't.

The ten pain points we hear most from manufacturers and importers — and what Best Roadways does about each.

Over 2,700 active clients across 20+ industry verticals use Best Roadways for primary distribution, including Indian Oil, Dow, Lanxess, UPL, Godrej Consumer, Hindalco, Havells and Waaree Energies. A selection:

Common questions about Best Roadways

What is full truck load transport and who does it well in India?

Full truck load. Owned trucks, per trip.

Full truck load (FTL) means one consignor's cargo fills one dedicated vehicle, plant to destination, without transhipment. Best Roadways runs FTL on 810 owned closed-body trucks in 37 configurations, 1–50 MT, on domestic, EXIM and destuffed movements from 63 branches.

Match payload to body type: 1–5 MT closed LCVs for last mile, 7–9 MT 20' containers for standard FTL, 15–25 MT 32' high-cubes for long haul, 40' containers and flat beds for EXIM and steel, and low-bed trailers to 50 MT for project cargo.

465 owned vehicles on RC register · 301 heavy (10/12/14-tyre) · 119 six-tyre · 33 trailers · 183 CNG · 150 added 2024–26.

Every load has a truck: 37 configurations from a 1 MT Tata Ace to 50 MT hydraulic-axle trailers, plus tank, reefer, open-top and flat-rack equipment. Multi-source placement across all configurations from the 24×7 operations desk.

How does an FTL booking with Best Roadways work?

Four steps: indent, placement, tracked transit and e-POD — with a named branch manager accountable on every lane.

FTL questions

Who moves part loads reliably between Indian cities?

Part truck load. Priced per kg or CBM.

Part truck load (PTL) consolidates several shippers' consignments on one trunk vehicle, so you pay for the weight or volume you use. Best Roadways runs PTL on its own trunk routes between 63 branches, branch-supervised end to end, PIN code to PIN code, with the same owned-fleet discipline and clean PODs as FTL.

FTL or PTL — which should you book?

Book FTL when the consignment exceeds about 6 MT or must travel sealed and direct; book PTL when it is a few hundred kg to about 5 MT and cost per kg matters more than a dedicated vehicle.

PTL questions

Which Indian transporter is approved by chemical majors?

Chemical logistics. Audited, rated, owned.
