RESUMO

Starting with the analysis of one trucker s trajectory and with truckers narratives about their own lives, and taking the 1999 trucker strike as a critical event, this work points at possible reconfigurations concerning truckers experience in exerting their profession. The continuous economic decadence that affects this category throughout the last decades, specially in the 90 s, is shown by the July 1999 and latter strikes. As a critical event, the July 1999 strike condenses a decay process involving this worker s category, setting at the social plane, therefore collective, the problems faced by them. As a critical event, the strike points towards changes concerning the truckers experience, bringing to light new forros to which the profession is set nowadays. Considering today s context, one of the main question this work points at is, on the long run, the slowly disappearance of autonomous independent truckers. The not always positive changes do not suppress, therefore, a more romantic aspect of the profession. This aspect is not opposed by the present, with its strikes and difficulties lived by the truckers, but goes side by side to it and is recovered in the truckers daily life
