Am a professional long haul driver, 3 years experience. Ready to work in European logistics industry. Please assist with Biggies company details so I can apply for any vacant position. Thank you
Trucker here for 13 years now. All my respect to Biggi. We are half the world away but have the same job. It is not easy but at the same time, very satisfying. I pray for health for you Biggi. Please don't skip doctor time. Ownership and Biggi are spot on 100% right, trucking is not just a job but a vocation. You have to love and enjoy it. Not everyone does, but WE DO.
@@Pillhouse-k8d man point me in the right direction. About how much you making a year on a bad year. I’m considering getting my CDL but if it’s gona pay as much as other regular jobs that I can stay home every night then yeah I’ll probably leave it alone . I’m just curious
This was such a great documentary to celebrate the work that the transport & logistics industry does for a country. Tough job & not for many, but to go out and see the country is better than sitting in a partitioned desk space. Well done, DW - more of the same, please?
@@MotoRide. Have to have loved ones to feel distanced - not all of us have that. In fact, many truckies are very alone. Might as well get paid to be in a prison on wheels than to not have a job and be forced to actual prison.
@@joebloggs6131 I hear you bro. But industry should strive to make it less dehumanizing for drivers. Like to have max 10 hrs working hours, and possibility to be home at last 3 times a week. That would also help to solve driver shortage. I drove a semi, and while I loved sole driving so much, fact that life just passed me by was soul crushing.
She's 58 years old and driving those big riggs for 30 years is a remarkable achievement. God bless you lady. I pray God to bless you and keep you safe on the road, Driving for 30 years is a life long process, Hats off you, and keep on representing all women who choose to be truck drivers, that's sheer class. Because of you lady i giving this channel a like and a big Subscribe. Thank you Biggi!!
As a short haul commercial driver, I found this totally fascinating! It was such a well done/presented documentary and showed the human side of Biggi's life also besides just hauling down the road. I hope DW brings out more documentaries, 10/10!
Excellent and important exposure of what really impacts folks in our current global society. Thank you DW! You Rock! I remember a doc on truckers coming north from central america due to shortage of truckers and better opportunities. The personal sacrafices are different, but still not acceptable. These truckers took their whole families along but it wasnt easy regardless - for anyone. Glad youve shared this with all of us. Our instant goods are not free shipping in the human sense. Even in a different country i am that much more aware thanks to you. Regular eating is so hard due to time crunch and availability and PARKING - which is a whole other bundle of yarn.
I drove semi trucks otr for 36 years, and It’s a grueling and thankless job. I ended up having a heart attack and had to retire permanently. Truckers are the backbone of the economy and you need to be mentally locked in to do it.
Hi Biggi from Canada. I very much enjoyed you taking us along with you. I’ve never been to Germany but it looks like a wonderful place. Take care and be safe.
Go Biggi! Wear steel toed boots! Thanks DW for another excellent documentary. USA also has a "driver shortage," but it really is a retention problem because it is very hard for long-distance drivers, who are treated as independent contractors, to make much more than minimum wage after subtracting expenses and considering total hours.
Truckers in America are considered unskilled labor (on purpose) and in this way the employers don’t have to abide by the labor laws which apply to trades and skilled labor. The 1970s were the golden age of trucking and it only went to sh!t ever since Jimmy Carter’s carrier deregulation in ‘79. (funny how everybody blames Reagan for that, but the trucking deregulation was Carter’s deal)
She is a great woman .it's too wonderful a documentary coverage video shared by an excellent ( DW) channel... documentary about the passive attitude and motivation of a woman selected hard work. It was a great attitude of (DW) that selected passive ,struggles individuals .I am sorry for her tears 😢... I hope the warmth relationship of her with her daughters
Definitely, hats off to all the men and women across the world that do this job. To make sure that your local supermarkets have food and service stations have petrol.
Have you watched the video? She said that driving is her life, and that she treats her truck as a partner. It is not just a job to have food on the table.
@@TinLeadHammer yes I have! And nobody works free in this world. Regardless if you love it or hate it, you get paid for your hard work . Some people don't even have a job, and cannot even provide food for their family. Undoubtedly, she is one of a kind !!!!
Truck driving in Europe looks pretty cool. Beautiful scenery and the cabovers have more room on the inside than I thought. The truck stops look clean too. Definitely would be a nice change of pace to get to drive in Europe for a year or so
Totally agree. I also feel like that super cheap fleet spec interior we often see in the states isn’t as common with the cab overs in Europe. I’m sure it exists but I feel like a majority of the European trucks I see have the leather wrapped steering wheel, heated/cooled seats, buttons on the steering wheel, nicer seats, etc. that we usually only get on like owner/operator spec trucks. I’m curious how their trucks ride over there too because our trucks are a nightmare; even a brand new 2024 Freightliner Cascadia rides so violently. Even with the seat on the softest air setting, the smallest bump will send me flying through the roof. It’s unbearable. Volvo is the only truck I drove where I could go over a rough road without being thrown all over the place as the interior rattles itself to death. I wonder if the Cabovers are better built.
@@Ward413 I hope to answer your question well. I would say the base spec model trucks here in Europe are well equipped. They have things like heated seats, steering wheel controls, A/C etc. The higher spec models tend to add things like leather or infotainment or digital climate control etc. But overall I'd say all trucks are well specced. As for comfort, I would say I have driven MAN's, Iveco's and DAF's that I thought were a bit harsh, but again most trucks, especially Volvo and Scania are very comfortable, even if it's a base spec Volvo FM or Scania G-series. Obviously, the higher spec trucks ride even better and, for me, the best is the Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL. The automatic gearbox (most cabovers are auto these days) is flawlessly smooth and the truck is very quiet and comfortable on distance. The Scania R-Series is also very good. I hope this answers your question, drive safe friend!
Terrible traffic, no place to park, real terrible on your health. Did it for ten years, now I only take a trip every year or so to remind myself how much better off I am doing something else.
I use to be a long haul truck driver and traveled all contiguous 48 states. "Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plain ...from sea the shining sea ...God shed his grace on thee."
Iam canadian truck driver for 25 years,long haul ,we stay on highways away from home average 5 to 12 days depending on job, because we run in teams also and distance in north america is crazy.but the truck s are double to triple axle and big bunks compared to europe with built in refrigerators and television
A hint for Biggi: With pain from injury, try Arnica gel. Works wonders. Made in France by Boiron. Comes in a tube, easily applied. Good luck to her. She's an asset to her company. Old school truckers with good work ethics, are hard to come by.
French Canadian over here and I only have 6 months of experience as a truck driver, hauling wood chips and i have much much respect for all of you out there who have been dedicating your life to this industry. Bless all of you.
What I find awesome in Biggi is that despite her industry and hard work, she still considers herself a mother. Great going for her that now she lives near her girls. A mom will always be a mom....Love lots from the Phils
DW, thank you for this wonderful job. I was fascinated by how strong Biggi was on her job. Imagine being in charge of hauling and discharging. She deserves to be mentioned in different quarters of life endeavors,to motivate other women.
Traveling from Tunisia to Europe's far north as a female truck driver is incredible. Your dedication and no-nonsense attitude are admirable. Long fingernails and appearances don't define a real truck driver like you. Keep on truckin' and breaking barriers!
Truck drivers and documentary makers-two professions that are both admirable and essential in their own unique ways. I’ve been practicing for the CDL test for free on CDL-prep, but after watching this video, I’m starting to wonder if I should actually become a truck driver!
That's a brilliant female truck driver right there. When a woman like Bggi worked all that hard, with long hours on the road, no one should grudge that lady for her Achievement, because she worked hard. I Salute you lady, well done. May God's blessings guidance and prosperity be with you always!!
@Dw Documentary is the best ❤ love 98% of ur documentaries. Keep it coming. Love from West Africa The Gambia. I wish I can be a truck driver like her in Germany.
As an American Trucker of 34+ years of long haul service. This documentary was 100% spot on copy of trucking in the USA. I myself is a lot like Biggi. I have Type 2 Diabetes. Large BMI etc. She is me and I am her. I was surprised to see the "Lifestyle" was very similar. Stay safe Biggi. May GOD protect your health and your relationship with your daughters.
I had thought about being a long haul trucker; the Canadian Rockies and snow deterred me from that. Instead, I became a tile setter. October 5th marks my 25th anniversary of working for myself.
I noticed that she is sad about the fact that how she had missed the time to bring up her daughters. I was an interstate for awhile in australia,i noticed right away that my family was falling apart though. Wife spoke to me about her feelings,it hurt me to give up my long drives and stay local. But i know i have a young family,i can always do longhaul later on. But i respect you Biggi and what you do.
Good for you Biggi. I'm 35 and so far I have a 2 year carrer on public transportation driving buses and no regrets. One thing you are absolutely right. We don't don't do it because it's work. We do it because we love to drive. Best of luck.
Truckers and all other people, who are part of the logistics have my full respect. Without their hard work - we won't have anything at the stores, cafes and restaurants, that we take for granted. The civilization relies on good logistics, running smoothly all the time, day and night. And when it comes to Biggi and other women like her, who work this hard job - my respects doubles! It was really a very nice short documentary, and with a lot of human touch and emotion. I really liked it and I hope Biggi and all other, who work in logistics stay well, healthy and strong! Thank you.
What does it take? Everything, it's a job that destroys you and your family for the boss to have a nice house and a few expensive cars, while you get a tiny bit, average 14 hours per day, minimum 12 hours shift, constant stress with traffic, tight places, restrictions, bad planning from the office and so on, it's a job that pays well, but wen you look into how many hours and stress and broken friendships and relationships, it's a life style simple as that.
Yes that right I’m in Usa Truck Driver we have much better situations here poor lady doesn’t own anything rent apartments low budget life 30 years working that Germany
This is a hectic job! Oh my word...looks hard-core. I respect all the people that do this job, because the facilities for food and personal hygiene is terrible. I heard a lot of trukkers sometimes pee accidentally on the truck seats, because they are in a rush or the toilet facilities are terrible.
Reminds me of the documentary the guardian did on a female Mongolian truck driver. Both women are impressive. I wish Biggie well and hope everything goes well for her. ❤🙏✨🌷
Damn straight. Was roommate with a guy who did a lot of trucking up north and even once walked along the North American coast looking for mining jobs, lol. Then recently heard some interesting stories when I was dating a fine young woman who is doing Trucking, and unfortunately it was just too rare for our schedules to actually match up. But she'd frequently talk philosophy with me just talk on the phone while she was on Long hauls, too bad I didn't want to stay up through the night to give her company
I've been truck driving ever since 2020. Did over the road for my first year and never touched it again. I'm making the same amount hauling local oil tankers, and I'm home everyday.
It’s the same here in America, you would go into the truck stop in the evening and sit in the professional driver area and all the drivers would be eating and talking about whatever came to mind and having a good time. Now with all the foreigners no one talks and the old drivers got out of it or retired.
I USE to drive a semi in USA for 10 years ❤ We work 11 hours driving 3 hours on duty, not driving . I come from a Trucking family. Love this lady . Safe Driving Award
I love this kind of documentary. There's a channel in Japan (Paolo in Tokyo) that cover daily lives of a worker. I love if you can make similar series.
Good report, DW. I hope Biggi takes care of herself and especially her diabetes. I'm type 2 diabetic and trying to eat healthy is not always easy. I wish her the best in the future.
I hope the announcer doesn't feel weird or embarrassed about talking about an average person's life compared to the scale of genocide or climate problems they usually do, but I think this video is a great place for truckers to share their stories of life in the comments. Might be one of the most vital yet underappreciated careers in today's world, and yet I've repeatedly been completely unfamiliar with what life looks like for my Trucking friends, and whatever they tell me usually sounds surprising
Excellent report u inspired me I was thinking of became a truck driver but I thought may be age will be a problem I am a women from morroco and I want to rely on my self ❤ love it
@@movement2contact Well, let's say that some people can't stand to be alone for long periods of time and others love solitude. For the former ones it's a punishment and they'd rather be home drinking beer and w/o income. It's not a job for everyone.

@@NotUp2Much Long haul seams easier, but one cannot sleep well in the truck no matter what, and it is detrimental toy your health.
It’s the same here in America, you would go into the truck stop in the evening and sit in the professional driver area and all the drivers would be eating and talking about whatever came to mind and having a good time. Now with all the foreigners no one talks and the old drivers got out of it or retired.
Same with all social settings in the West. Very depressing future ahead of us.

How is trucking in the States??
I love this kind of documentary. There's a channel in Japan (Paolo in Tokyo) that cover daily lives of a worker.
I love if you can make similar series.
Good report, DW. I hope Biggi takes care of herself and especially her diabetes. I'm type 2 diabetic and trying to eat healthy is not always easy. I wish her the best in the future.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences!
Biggi smile made me proud of her man... kudos biggi👏👏👏
Very nice documentary's for truck driver's not matter what part in the world is
Awesome documentary
lots of respect to truck drivers
Everybody has something they will never trade off. We’re all like that in different passions.
Another great video.
Thanks for watching!
Great video
More trucking videos!
Great video
I hope the announcer doesn't feel weird or embarrassed about talking about an average person's life compared to the scale of genocide or climate problems they usually do, but I think this video is a great place for truckers to share their stories of life in the comments. Might be one of the most vital yet underappreciated careers in today's world, and yet I've repeatedly been completely unfamiliar with what life looks like for my Trucking friends, and whatever they tell me usually sounds surprising
Bravo from Bulgaria
Excellent report u inspired me I was thinking of became a truck driver but I thought may be age will be a problem I am a women from morroco and I want to rely on my self ❤ love it
Thanks for watching!
Long-haul driver is neither a job nor a vocation, it's a conviction.
You mean like a punishment ??
@@asmirann3636 Yeah... like a convicted criminal... that's what he meant.
@@johnnyblue4799 Hmm.... Its a hard job.
Eh, I'd rather do trucking than keep drinking beer at home with no income 💀
@@movement2contact Well, let's say that some people can't stand to be alone for long periods of time and others love solitude. For the former ones it's a punishment and they'd rather be home drinking beer and w/o income. It's not a job for everyone.
I love it. she works hard everyday
I don’t remember how many time I’ve woken up and turned my alarm clock off on my phone and realizing I slept in 😂
Salute girl. From Kenya
