Truck Collection

Truck collection was guided by a different logic. COOPAMARE has two trucks, but at the time of our fieldwork, only one person had a driver’s license—former cooperative members who completed the course accepted different jobs after they had passed the exam. Laerte, the driver who had stayed loyal to the cooperative for over twenty years, kept a detailed handwritten list of clients and collection points that he would visit each day. We started by geocoding this list, as well as the collection frequency at these locations, and joined in as collectors on a number of collection trips. The resulting data set was merged with the traces recorded during truck collection and made available to the cooperative using a web application based on the Ushahidi platform.
