    I’ll never understand the hate towards this bloke. I’ve been watching his UA-cam videos from day one having discovered him on TikTok. He’s absolutely brilliant at what he does and his videos are always entertaining and full of laughs. The characters that feature in his videos including his family are a massive part of his success and he humbly admits that which is great to see. All of his videos and the people in them are a joy to watch and I wish him every success for the future.
    This podcast was also brilliantly put together and has really brought out the man behind Trucker Tim. Well done to all involved 👍🏻

    Even from the start you could tell he was going to go far. He was a natural in front of the camera from day one. Always entertaining and fulling engaging. No off moments. He also had a knack of surrounding himself and befriending interesting people. All the companies that have help him are full of charismatic interesting people.

    As a former US truck driver who is now unable to drive due to health issues, I enjoy watching Tim's videos to get a glimpse of how trucking is done in the UK and the EU when he travels outside of the UK. I would love to see him visit the US and collaborate with the American trucking UA-camr Bruce Willson. It would be really exciting to see Tim bring one of his trucks to the US for some trucking adventures, or alternatively, to see him attend the MATS (Mid-America Trucking Show) in the future.

    Loved this interview. I will say, I thought Tim was cringey and ‘fake’ OTT when I first saw his Data shredders videos but, as time has gone on, you actually see him for what he is. He’s brilliant to watch, massive enthusiasm for what he does and he is one of the main reasons why I got my C+E and now a driver. Keep on, drive!!

    I know what would make a great video and conversation.... the real elephant in the room. Mental health within the HGV haulage industry with many drivers who are lonely, working under immense time constraints and pressure away from their loved ones and family. I know of a few truck drivers who have committed suicide because it all got too much

He's having a ball and 90 percent of truckers would do exactly what he is doing if they could . Remember passing him once and thinking those tints were ripping it a bit. lol

    I used to think Tim was a bit of a prick.
    However, after watching this podcast, my opinion has changed. I have learned that 'Trucker Tim' is just a persona. An internet character. And that is something a lot of people, myself included, seem to forget all too often. Not just with Tim, but with many other UA-camrs.

    Tim is a likeable guy, and I'm pleased for his success. The only issue I have is that he has a lot of influence on younger people who aspire to become truck drivers, and while I appreciate the entertainment value, using the side pipe through quiet villages, covering innocent pedestrians in black smoke, the illegally tinted windows , blue beacons and so on is sending out the wrong message. The DVSA intervention was always going to happen and maybe there's a lesson in that, but I think Tim could (and maybe will) use his influence in a more positive way for aspiring drivers.

      @JamesHarding-y5n 3 місяці тому

      Essentially he made a video with geared up garage about rebuilding the infamous “horror truck” and people didn’t like that he was making revenue off of such a sensitive subject. He ended up having to take the video down.
      Geared up garage says they’re not trying to rebuild the klintra horror truck at all but just using the parts from it to build a completely new different one, so there was a miscommunication as he sees it. I’ve seen they’ve just had geared up garage on the pod so I’m sure he’ll clear it up then
