A transporter that owns its trucks, employs its drivers and shows its data
Founded in Surat in 2012, JK Express moves freight for 600+ manufacturers across western and northern India on an asset-owned, technology-run fleet.
From six trucks on the Surat–Bhiwandi night run to 240 across eight hubs
JK Express began with a frustration every Surat textile trader knows: a truck that was “leaving in an hour” for the third hour running, a driver who could not be reached, and a bilty that arrived after the goods. Our founder's answer was to own the trucks, employ the drivers and put a telephone — later a GPS device — in every cabin.
Fourteen years later the rule has not changed. Every consignment moves on a JK Express-owned, JK Express-maintained vehicle with a JK Express-employed driver. What has changed is the visibility: live tracking links, digital LRs and PODs, fuel and safety monitoring, and a control tower that watches 18,000 alerts a month so that our customers do not have to.
We are proud to be a Surat company. Our hubs sit where western India's factories are — Ankleshwar, Vapi, Morbi, Chakan, Pithampur — and our schedules follow their production calendars, not the other way around.

Fourteen years, one rule
Growth has always followed the same sequence: a customer problem, then trucks, then people, then the technology to run them better.

What we hold ourselves to
Safety before schedule
A rested driver and a roadworthy truck leave on time. A tired driver or a doubtful truck does not leave at all.
Nothing to hide
Location, timestamps, fuel, tolls and PODs are visible to the customer as they are to us.
Own the outcome
We own the trucks, employ the drivers and answer for the delivery. No third party to blame.
Drivers are colleagues
Fixed salaries, incentive scorecards, rest rooms at hubs and family insurance for every driver.
