Mines and campus
Officers and staff of the coal companies on transfer, faculty at the institute and families moving to Kolkata, Ranchi or Bengaluru are the usual senders. For colony and campus pickups, we send the driver’s details in advance.
Coal dust
Dust settles on cars here quickly, which can hide small marks. The driver checks the car carefully with you before loading, noting every scratch, the odometer reading and the fuel level, and you both sign. A wash before handover makes the check easier.
To the carrier
Around Bank More and the main markets, traffic is heavy, so our driver brings the car to a wide road where the carrier can stop. In the colonies, the carrier can often stop near your gate.
Rain
In the monsoon, the loading date stays flexible, and the car is checked with you on a dry spell where possible.
At delivery
We call before the carrier arrives. The car is driven off in front of you and checked against the report made in Dhanbad and your photos.
