Mobility, particularly of commercial cargo, is crucial ,as well as critical for socio-economic development of the country.
Way Back in early fifties, when Government adopted planned development , as policy , to take the country forward, railways , having vast network across the nation , carried over 70% of the total cargo moved by surface transport. Moving goods by road, despite being convenient speedy, economical and door to door, accounted for 20 % share only. Trucking, by all means, is legitimate basic infrastructural service and the people carrying on this as a "profession" are no different than others.Entrepreneurs in trucking, like most other professionals, are self - employed and unlike most of other professionals, truckers provide employment for additional nine skilled / unskilled persons per vehicle.
All automobiles ,for the sake of their identity,are required to be registered with their local Authority against specified payment periodically .
Trucks are no exception .But because the trucks are used for commercial purposes, these need to obtain a Permit against unexplained justification . Till a few years ago, this permit had to be taken from each State. In the beginning only, none other than the Mahatma Gandhi as well wondered as to why in a free country people should need permit for visiting different States.
Admittedly, Trucking is like back - bone of country 's economy .
