Also known as: Truck Position · Banana Split Position (entry) · Twister Side Control (adjacent)
From behind a turtled or seated opponent, the attacker triangles one of their own legs around the opponent’s near thigh and controls the far leg or hips. Another Eddie Bravo / 10th Planet creation: the truck is the vehicle to the twister, the calf slicer, and back takes.

What can you do from The Truck?
Truck driver (positional score +7/10)
Submissions
Twister — From the truck, trap one leg with your legs and pull their head the opposite way over your shoulder — a rotational spinal lock borrowed from wrestling’s "guillotine" ride.
Calf Slicer — From the truck, your shin becomes a blade behind their knee: fold their calf onto it and the compression forces the tap — often available the moment they try to free their trucked leg.
