Trucking with long-haul driver Biggi - What does it take to drive long distances? | DW Documentary

The truck is Brigitte Mosch’s great love. And she has sacrificed a lot for this love. She has been driving the big rigs for more than 30 years.

She is on the road everywhere from Tunisia to Europe’s far north. Female truck drivers are still very much the exception, especially in long-hauling. And Biggi, as her friends call her, has clear views of what makes a real truck driver. By no means can she have long fingernails and only care about her appearance. The 58-year-old has little time for these so-called trucker babes. Brigitte has been divorced twice and says a relationship and long-distance hauling just don't work. Sylvia Wassermann went with her on the road.
