Abstract
The optimal use of time has shaped the organization of productive activity in mature capitalist societies. This objective has similarly shaped labour in the truck transport industry. Based on fieldwork conducted amongst long haul truck drivers, I explore the unique ways in which time is folded into and dictates the greatest part of their lives on the road.
