Direct Answer
Intercity transport pricing in India is usually calculated by distance, load type (FTL or LTL), vehicle category, and handling requirements. The safest way to control cost is to compare multiple written freight quotes with clear inclusions for loading, tolls, and documentation.

Intercity transport in India refers to moving goods between two cities using planned freight lanes and suitable truck types such as FTL or LTL.
