NH48: the Mumbai–Bengaluru road reference
Follow the reference in order: Mumbai → Pune → Kolhapur → Belagavi → Hubballi → Chitradurga → Bengaluru. The principal spine is NH48.
State/UT transitions on the listed reference: Maharashtra → Karnataka. Ask which shipment and owner documents are needed for the accepted load; no fixed border stopping point is assumed.
Adding driving legs through these waypoints gives approximately 1,000 km: the long-haul band (900–1,600 km). Collection and carrier departure are separate milestones. Ask when loading is expected to be allocated, then obtain the arrival range linked to that dispatch.
