What does ETA (estimated time of arrival) mean in logistics?
Short answer
The predicted time a vehicle, vessel or aircraft will reach its destination, updated as the journey progresses.
Road ETAs in India need to account for driver rest, entry restrictions for trucks in cities, toll and border queues and weather, not only distance and average speed. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
