Service tax is levied on the goods transport agency service and not on goods transport operator service. In the present case, as I understand, transport service is provided by the truck owner, therefore no service tax is to levied on it. Moreover one of the essential condition to fall under he GTA service is a consignment which is absent here. No service tax is levied on the transport service provided by the truck owner.
