TRUCK FACTS

An average Indian truck covers 50,000-60,000 km a year; in the US, this figure is 3,00,000 km

Before GST, trucks were covering 225 km a day; post-GST, this is supposed to be 300-325 km a day

Before GST, a typical truck spent 20 per cent of its run time at inter-state check posts

Pre-GST, logistics costs accounted for about 14 per cent value of goods in India as against 6-8 per cent in other major countries
