What Rahdari does, and what it costs you
Give it a lorry number and it tells you which toll plazas that number has been recorded at. Every look costs one credit.
3 min read
You give Rahdari a lorry's registration number. It asks the national toll network what that number has been recorded at, and shows you the plazas it has passed, newest first, with the time of each crossing.
You can do that once by hand, whenever you want to know. Or you can put a lorry under watch, and Rahdari does the asking for you on a beat you choose, sending a Telegram message when it finds something.
How a crossing reaches your screen
- 1A lorry passes a tolled highway plaza.
- 2The gantry at that plaza records the passing.
- 3The record reaches the national logistics data infrastructure.
- 4Rahdari asks for it, and it appears on your screen.
This is not GPS
A lorry is only visible where there is a reading point. One on state roads, on a short local run, or one that simply has not passed a plaza recently produces no records at all. Nothing found means nothing was recorded — not that the lorry is not moving. Records can also arrive late, so read every time as recorded at, never as is at.
What each action costs
There is one balance, called credits, and two things draw on it. Both cost the same.
| What you do | What it costs |
|---|---|
| A search you type yourself | 1 credit |
| One automatic check of a lorry you are watching | 1 credit |
| An alert being raised, and the Telegram message | Free |
| Adding a lorry, adding an alert, making a group | Free |
| Pausing a lorry | Free, and it stops the spending |
So how closely you watch is the whole cost of the product. A lorry checked every fifteen minutes is checked 96 times a day, which is 96 credits a day for that one lorry. A lorry checked every six hours is four. Read how credits work before you switch anything on.
What you need to buy
Two different things, and getting them the wrong way round is how people buy the wrong one. A plan decides how many lorries you may watch at once and until when. Credits pay for each look. You need both — a plan with an empty balance checks nothing, and credits with no plan still search by hand.
What the records can and cannot show
A crossing means the lorry was recorded at that plaza at that time. It says nothing about where it is now, and a gap has innocent explanations. Treat what you find as a lead to check by other means, never as proof on its own. Where the data comes from is set out on the data sources page.

Can I see where a lorry is right now?
No. You see where it was last recorded crossing a toll plaza. Between plazas, and on roads with no plaza, there is nothing to see.
Does a search cost the same whether it finds something or not?
Yes. One credit, because the asking is what costs. An empty result is a real answer and it costs the same one credit.
Do I need a plan just to search one lorry by hand?
No. Manual search runs off your credit balance and works even when a plan has ended. Automatic tracking is the part that needs a plan that is still running.
