What does Toll mean in logistics?

Short answer

A fee charged for using a road, bridge or tunnel, collected at plazas or electronically.

On national highways, user fees are set under the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008, vary by vehicle class and are revised periodically. Tolls are a significant part of the cost of heavy trucks, so check whether a freight quote includes them. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
