Market Vehicle Gate Check
Check the truck's papers before the cargo goes on it.
A hired truck with lapsed insurance means uninsured cargo. A driver with an LMV licence on a 49-tonne truck means liability. Gate staff enter two numbers on a phone or tablet and get green, amber or red, with the reason for every amber and red.
Red: do not load

Four hired trucks at Gate 2. Check them.
Each check reads the vehicle and licence records, compares the licence class with the vehicle's weight, and tests the permit against the destination. Pick a truck or type the numbers.
Enter a vehicle number and licence number, or pick one of the trucks on the left. Each check reads the vehicle and licence records and compares the licence class with the vehicle's weight.
Every check is logged with time, gate and user.
What is checked
Seven checks, three colours, no guessing.
Red means do not load. Amber means valid today but not safe for the trip, so a supervisor decides. Every result says why.
| Check | Green | Amber | Red |
|---|---|---|---|
| RC | Registered, not blacklisted | Not used | Not found, or blacklisted |
| Fitness | Valid beyond 7 days | Ends within 7 days | Expired |
| Permit | Valid and covers the destination | Valid, but home state only on an interstate load | Expired |
| Insurance | Valid beyond 7 days | Ends within 7 days | Expired: uninsured cargo and liability |
| PUC | Valid beyond 7 days | Ends within 7 days | Expired |
| Driver licence | Valid, transport class | Ends within 7 days | Expired, suspended or not found |
| Licence class vs weight | Class covers the vehicle's GVW | Not used | LMV licence on a vehicle above 7,500 kg GVW |
The weight rule follows the Supreme Court's reading in Mukund Dewangan (2017), upheld by a Constitution Bench in November 2024: an LMV licence holder may drive a transport vehicle of up to 7,500 kg gross vehicle weight. Above that, the licence must carry the heavier class.
Check log and transporter record
See which brokers send compliant trucks.
Every check is logged with time, gate and the guard who ran it. Over a month, the log becomes a record per transporter: how many of their trucks came in green, and how many had to be turned back.
| Transporter | Checks | Green | Red |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broker A, Jaipur | 42 | 40 | 0 |
| Broker B, Ahmedabad | 31 | 24 | 2 |
| Broker C, Gurugram | 18 | 9 | 6 |
| Broker D, Pune | 27 | 20 | 1 |

Put the check inside your yard system.
Warehouse and yard management systems can call Gate Check when a truck is booked or reaches the gate, and hold the loading slot until the result is green. Results come back with the same reasons the guard sees.

₹15 per vehicle and driver check
Prepaid packs for shippers, 3PLs and warehouses that load hired trucks. Site plans for high-volume gates. No fleet subscription needed. GST extra.
Does the broker or driver have to do anything?
No. Gate staff enter the vehicle number and licence number. The check reads the records directly, so the broker does not need to share anything in advance.
What turns a result amber?
Something valid today that will not stay valid for the trip, such as insurance ending within 7 days, or a permit that does not cover the destination state. Every amber shows its reason.
Can it check the licence class?
Yes. It compares the classes on the licence with the vehicle's gross vehicle weight. An LMV licence covers transport vehicles only up to 7,500 kg GVW, per the Supreme Court's reading in Mukund Dewangan.
How is it priced?
₹15 per vehicle and driver check in prepaid packs, or a site plan for high-volume gates. It does not need a fleet subscription.
Load only the trucks that should be on the road.
