I was a successful art critic into my 40s, several degrees, never drove a day in my life til I called myself a trucker at 39.

@dannysarcade I think he didn't admit it like they've edited it to seem. I think he had a panic attack, there was talk about this in the news, due to being put on the spot and they had to stop filming. So afterwards all he really could do was say he was a traitor.

Do you think this is the moment he had a panic attack? There was talk of them having to stop filming due to it and if he was put on the spot like that I can see it being something that triggered it. #Traitors

Why are they all talking about Bella like they're a genius or something #Traitors

@chantelle_isaac Yeah this episode in particular she just came across as a bit mean or something.

Trucking is for anyone.
It's just not for everyone.

Truckers: Never be wed to one truck or model. The more you subscribe to one model - the more possible models you preclude yourself from. You lose levels of agency, are driven by fewer gears & cut yourself off from drives, roads and haulage. Never stay in your own lane.

[Terry Pepperz @PepperzTerry]

Your memories, gears, drives, haulage, environment, trucks, techniques, diesel, steering & situation are one organism - part of the trucking group mind.This self-propagating, automatic operating-system is a melodics of trucking that not only explores cargo, but changes it.

[Terry Pepperz @PepperzTerry]

Truckers: Uncertainty & disruption make it easier to drive somewhere new. Your rubric of comprehension & drive-structures are forced to remap a route. As long as you don’t enter a fear-loop, you create new packets of continuity, experience & develop a new cultural trucking system

[Terry Pepperz @PepperzTerry]

Truckers who purport to drive everywhere drive nowhere and show us only where they drove years ago but have still not learned to forget.

Truckers: A big power of what is seen in your drive is what is not seen.
I call this trucking in Sanskrit or Hieroglyphics. Drives with deep content , little understanding, and great force.

Truckers: A power of what is seen in your drive is what is not seen.

[Terry Pepperz @PepperzTerry]

It is not possible that a truck made now does not have the “now” that the trucker lived through be somewhere embedded into it. In this silent sense, all trucking has as its “deep content” the varieties and complexities of lived present. Even if it is a long drive or a short one.
