“…to provide optimum balance between the amount of produced goods, transport capacity of the vehicles, transport network capacity, handling capacity of warehouses, and the size of orders and inventory. The "just-in-time" rule is transferred onto forwarding companies and then to direct providers of transport services (see also Belzer 2010;Munduteguy 2014). While in small companies, which have permanent forwarders and recipients, transport organisation is integrated with production, in larger companies which commission transport services, transport organisation is changeable, often unpredictable and designed to be carried out just in time.…”

REGIMES OF LOGISTICS, PAUSES IN THE FLOW, STILLNESS IN (NEAR) INDUSTRIAL NON-PLACES AND MOBILITY INFRASTRUCTUREThe article is based on the ethnographic mobile fieldwork carried out among Polish tractor unit drivers employed in West European forwarding companies. It is focused on truck drivers' mobility, whose inherent quality is the contradiction between movement and stillness, multi-sitedness and specific localisation, and access to protected and monitored industrial zones as opposed to spatial exclusion. The starting point of the reflections are the categories of a non-place and mobility, which in practice appear to less obvious and one-dimensional in the context of trans-local and cross-border activities of tractor unit drivers. It is the stillness a phenomenon that reveals the regimes of distribution and transport logistics.
