Yes, it comes in preview of u/s 194C but if transporter provides PAN then no deduction to be made otherwise higher deduction @ 20% to be made...

If you are paying directly to the supplier (as you have mentioned) then section 194C(7) should not apply and you shall be required to deduct TDS. The transporter may claim his charges from the supplier without any TDS deduction by presenting his PAN details.
