On a sweltering morning at a truck yard in the northern Indian state of Haryana, he climbed into the cab of his 10-wheel tractor-trailer, started the engine and rumbled slowly onto the highway.
Mr. Khan, 49, is a driver for Chetak Logistics, a major Indian trucking company.
He stopped every couple of hours at roadside tea stands and restaurants, devouring snacks and chatting with other truck drivers.
“I drive in a very leisurely manner,” Mr. Khan said.
What’s the hurry?”For those who earn their living navigating the unpredictable highways of India, Mr. Khan was voicing an unimpeachably sensible mantra.
