Condições de trabalho dos caminhoneiros: uma análise dos pontos de apoio, parada e descanso disponibilizados aos caminhoneiros em Anápolis-GO

Abstract

Considering the territorial, population, and cultural vastness, as well as the wealth produced through the extraction of raw materials, production of manufactured products and services provided, Brazil could be considered as a wide continental country. Therefore, in order to achieve the goals of industry and trade in local goods and services which demand have been increasing annually, an efficient logistics system is essential. However, Brazil has invested mainly in roads, although it has the potential to develop other cheaper and perhaps more effective ways, such as the complex logistics system of countries such as Russia and China. As for the road mode, Brazil establishes guidelines in the form of law to ensure mainly the safety and comfort for all users/drivers. Thus, this research proposed to investigate whether these norms have been complied with by its agents from both the public and private sectors. The objects investigated were five points of support, stop and rest on the margins of highway BR-153 between kilometers 43 and 51, located in the municipality of Anápolis, Goiás, from which questions were formulated under the guidance of Law 13.103 / 2015, also known as the Truck Driver's Law. The results show a mutual effort among the stakeholders to ensure the proper functioning of the services dedicated to the agents of the referred modal, however, it is up to the public power to offer better supervision and control onto the object of this research.
