Trucking with Long-Haul Driver Biggi
Brigitte Mosch, known as Biggi, has spent more than thirty years behind the wheel of a big rig, hauling freight across routes that stretch from Tunisia to the far north of Europe. Reporter Sylvia Wassermann rides along as Biggi navigates border crossings, loading docks, and overnight stops, offering a look at a profession where women remain rare, especially in long-haul work. Now 58, Biggi speaks bluntly about what the job demands and has no patience for the polished image of trucking sometimes sold online, dismissing the so-called trucker babes who care more about appearance than the work itself. She talks about the toll the road has taken on her personal life, including two divorces, and why she believes long-distance driving and a stable relationship rarely coexist. The film follows her cab, her routines, and her routes closely, letting her matter-of-fact commentary carry the story of a life built almost entirely around the highway.
