Built to make you money. Own trucks? Know what every load really pays before you say yes. Planning to buy your first? See what a truck costs to run before you sign.
I am Sumedh. For six years I have run trucks for UltraTech Cement. At one time we had 117 trucks at 7 plants. Today we have 43.
Every month our accounts looked fine. When I finally sat down and worked out the cost of each trip, we were making money at only 2 plants out of 7. Diesel, tyres, tolls, EMI and the empty trip back were eating the freight, and nobody told us.
Nobody tells a truck owner this. The broker, the financier and the dealer all get paid when the truck moves, whether the owner makes money or not.
So I built NEXUS for owners like me. Put in the trip before you take the load, and see if it pays.

Average matters most — every vehicle runs differently.
If you run underload, a tyre usually lasts 70,000 to 80,000 km. Overloading wears it out sooner.
This includes replacing your clutch plate.
The make of your truck defines it. Download the list above.
Anything which can be repaired by a quick stop at a workshop within a day or two.
* Every box must be completed for your rate.
The load you have been offered: how far, how long, and the rate.
On a phone: in Google Maps, press and hold the map right next to the place (not on its icon) until a Dropped pin appears, then copy the numbers from the search bar at the top. On a computer: right-click the spot and click the numbers. Come back here and the point fills in by itself; if not, paste into the box.
Trip time: your truck should hold 50 km an hour. With loading and unloading waits, 500 km takes 2 days to reach. Leave it blank and we work it out this way.
Insurance, fitness, PUC, permit. Put the dates in once and it tells you before they run out.

Uses your phone's location to open the map at whatever you need.
Red is expired, amber is inside a month. Once this is on a server it will message you a month out and again a week before — that is the part that needs a backend.
Validity can only be extended from 8 hours before expiry to 8 hours after. Miss it and it is ₹10,000 or the tax evaded, whichever is higher — and the truck can be held.
| EWB | Vehicle | To | Expires | Left |

Typing these by hand defeats the point. The EWB number and its expiry are printed on the invoice handed over at loading — photograph that and every bill tracks itself. Extending still happens on the government portal — this gets you there with the number copied and the answers ready. Doing it inside the app needs licensed API access, which is a later build.
Photograph the DI, the invoice or your LR at the gate. It reads the trip out, prices it, and starts the e-way bill clock.
| From | To | Tonnes | Vehicle | Despatched | EWB expiry |
|---|
One photo fills everything the paper carries — origin, destination, tonnage, vehicle, dates and the e-way bill — and files it into the other tabs on its own. Distance is never printed on a DI, so you give it once per destination and it is remembered after that.
Wherever the truck is right now. Opens your maps app with directions.
Send the bill number and where the truck is. Someone extends it and messages you back.
This is a picture of the message, not a live one. Sending it needs a server holding your number and a WhatsApp or SMS channel — that is the first backend job after deployment.
