A Gallery of Trucks


Trucks in India are fascinating. While they vary tremendously in size, they are almost uniformly highly decorated. Words don't matter as much as the calligraphy.


Typical "Goods Carrier"




Water tanker. Commonly seen in Mumbai. Never seen in Vapi, which has a good source of drinking water (and hasn't yet outgrown the supply).
Trucks at a toll booth, including a hazmat truck. The variety of nasty chemicals on the road is disturbing, but in reality is probably no worse than in the U.S. -- they are just more clearly and specifically labeled.
