That marketing guy seems like a pretty awesome dude. He seemed to really enjoy hanging out with ya, Tim.
Not gunna lie, that was the coolest factory I have ever seen. I love the gardens in the office, and the old building inside the new factory. Cool video as always!
Pumps out black smoke whist sitting at the most environmentally friendly factory 😂
Well ... the Ferrari factory in [no idea where] ... has lots of trees between the isles ... and they have ITALIAN food (even the most bland italian "industrial cantina" food blows the stuff I got in Germany out of the water, so I dont know about the dutch food.
Fantastic part 2, of all the European countries I drove in, Holland was my favourite. Beautiful people beautiful country. Welcome to the world of euro driving
Bring on more Euro trips Tim. Lot of fun.
you have to drive like that! and i’m sure he knows what he is doing he is very good at what he does, if he didn’t take the corners wide the trailer would hit the curb
“Driving isn’t cheap” I’d agree if you drive back from European empty while concentrating on how your truck sounds. It’s an interesting business model
The difference between a creator and a proper haulage operator. Everyman and his dog would’ve had a backload.
I think he supplements his income with this channel, that probably why he cares about all these truck mods, but yeah he couldve came back to the UK with another load, more money, and more content
He's openly said he is a content creator 1st, haulage firm 2nd
Any normal company would back load to make it pay but he has all his donations to fund his business, personally i like to fund myself
Great video Tim really enjoyed it . Keep up the good work. 👍
As an American trucker I’m completely obsessed with your adventures. It’s so interesting how everything seems…better there. Safe travels man.
This Europe trip was a great watch. More like this if you get the jobs!
Would be nice if he got a load "through the alps" or "somewhere in Germany away from the Autobahn ... with the winding roads".
Brilliant Tim not only do put a smile on my face but the people love too see and talk to you keep up the good work
⭐️👍
Thanks for taking us along on your trip. And Holland is a beautiful place it’s like you said it’s so clean.
Very Nice video!! You are always welcome in Holland
Lots of trucker Tim fans in Holland 👍👍👍
I drove for 25 years all together and spend a lot off time abroad and it’s so much nicer over there and your very well looked after. 😊
Qq
i have been trucking for 2-3 years how can i pick up jobs from europe if you can guide me it will be wonderful
@@achaudhry8834 the easiest way is just work for a company the does European work and go from there really.
Loved the video , i was laughing so much u reving the v8 all that smoke outside the most environmentally friendly factory 😂
16:56 that’s what the X-ray scanner was for
I think to see loads without opening them up but not sure
Im just assuming based on a human xray
@@truckerwilliam001 not just the loads, but also any hidden compartments etc. same deal with the baggage xray scanners at airports, just bigger.
Illegals have the "special ferry service" now, where they get escorted from France to Britain by the respective naval border forces.
Don’t quite understand why Tim drives all the way down to Dover, when he could choose Felixstowe and get a good night’s sleep on his way to Rotterdam. He would save about 250 miles driving in each direction - is that not 10+ hours road time saved, even if the ferry costs a bit more?
You mentioned about not being checked and someone else in the cab ,that's what the scanners were for . Good vlog Tim.
Now the last two vids you done, was brilliant.
The old trucker is back, nice to see you and that Scania doing some work for once.
Don't get me wrong it's a bloody nice rig you have now compared to how you got it...,.....
It's a unit that's ment to work.....not sitting on grass been looked at.
Hi Tim. Saw this video prt 1 & 2 a while ago but still enjoy it AGAIN !! The long truck/trailer you saw in Belgium is the LZV (Long Heavy Vehicle) which is 25,25 meter. I discover where the idea came from as I went to Sweden where a Swedish friend (journalist) had to make a story on a transport company. And there he had an important question for the director ........... What is going on with some transportations I saw lately .??
The thing is that he saw that the hanger was not a Swedish type but like the trailers we use in Europe country like Germany, Holland etc.
The difference was the bigger wheels and the lengt is 13,5 meter which make these combinations in Sweden illegal, over 24 meter normal, now up to 1,5 meter longer. So I witness this scoop and took the photos for my Truckstar Magazine and for my friens Trailer magazine.
This way the knowledge grow on these LZV in Holland and after a while (years ??) they became a normal combination in Holland.
Second. An ex colleague from Truckstar provide all that stuff you see at Joost and petrol stations to all most all stations. He is well know by Truckers. His name is Frans van der Hul. Perhaps a name for you to remember, He always have a BUG stand at Assen ........ (Named TRUCKS)
Have a good time and will follow. Oscar Hoogendoorn.
What a place, Agrofax is something else. Your trip brought back a lot of memories for me, I used to do Holland in a 10 on a Sunday. Happy days🍻
Great to watch this video, Tim!
Do you know you passed the biggest Scania factory in Zwolle, near the A28 ?
Keep rolling!
Would love to see more of your trips through Europe hopefully you can get some return loads from Europe so it won’t be too expensive on fuel keep up
Some food advice when you're close to Joost truckstop again: The tokcel nearby sells really great kebab / shoarma sandwiches.
You should try it out sometime
I really loved your video and the trip to my country the Netherlands and seeing you enjoy it. Even saw my old workplace in the previous video. Also really cool to see Broshuis trailers. That is a company close to my current job so i get to enjoy all those trailers come by.
Well done on your Dutch run Tim. I'm a Dutch hgv driver myself. FYI if you cross the channel on a ferry or train you should put your tacho on ferry mode ! I would hate it if you get done for it.
One thing I like about you Tim is nothing.Such an amazing Dutch fan base you got Tim
Great video. The Netherlands is such a superb country. Notice how spotless that unit was including the outside? Its embarrassing at times living in the UK.
That was brilliant you made those children's day 👌👌
Congratulations Tim that continental video was Fantastic can we have more please Tim of these continental trips and more trips to Scotland
hollands most eco friendly factory, tims out the front dumping coal for the kids, love it man haha
THAT WAS BRILLIANT 🎉 TIM HOPE U RECOVRED FROM ALL THAT SLEEP U MISSED AND U HAVE INSPIRED ME TO BE A TRUCKER SO NEXT VIDEO SHOUT OUT TO KEN FIRTH PLS
I love it when Tim plays Slip The Clutch when he’s heading for the boat
Keep on trucking Tim and giving plenty of tangs and tonnes 🎉❤
Great video&content Tim.Look forward to seeing more,especially a run to Spain,with a return load back to UK.
I used to run airfreight from Heathrow to Ostend or Schiphol at weekends. I used to love getting off the ferry or train the other side. It's so so much better and you get looked after better as a driver. I used to find the other airfreight drivers from the rival Dutch companies really nice and always helpful over there. I hope you get more jobs over there so that we can see your content. BUT remember, get your paperwork sorted, that's one thing I learnt from Day 1. 🙂🙃🙂
Yarno, or however it’s spelled. The head of marketing for agrifax, was a treat!! Hilarious guy!! The accent makes it.
Hi if you mod your smoke system with fueling separate from main tank you could colour the smoke blue/red and others AKA Red Arrows!
Very polite children love to see it!
Hi Tim,
Just watched the video,
Brilliant
Agrifac in Steenwijk
Steenwijk is about 75kms from where I live,
Just a quick Dutch language tip for you,
Steen in English is pronounced as Stain
Wijk is pronounced as Vike
W’s are spoken as V’s
So repeat after me
Steenwijk
Stainvike
You’ll never forget it 😂😂
Keep on trucking V8 power 💪
have to admit, for a country that is constantly baked....... they're definitely more efficient and know how to treat their workers...... even though i'm severely sensitive to the green stuff, i might just go over there and work lol. hope to see you on the road and get the legendary horns one day :)
I drove from 1990 to 1998 in Holland france and Germany over night ferry from sheerness to Vlissingen then delivery to army and RAF bases of audio visual equipment to the bases it was clean then and the motorway services amazing the food was out of this world three course meals
I drove to Switzerland in a 7.5 ton truck with Bernie from Rutherford labs , we had a fantastic four days delivery to laboratory in Cerne
Love the roads and so clean
Tim it doesn't matter how ,,messy'' the roads in the UK are, comming home to your country you are born in is always the best feeling.
I literally can't stand going home, as soon as I return to the UK I can't wait to get away again, depressing and stressful driving round the UK for me 😂
@@TheWildPikey Looks like you live in the wrong country. How about you move somewhere else ?
Tim it was really great to see you out and about doing what you love and including others along the way, even if you get woken from your sleep. I think you need to swot up on your knowledge of Euro travel as a trucker and learn to concentrate on the driving instead of the truck. Yes, I enjoyed the vlogs, thank you!
Always fun blasting the Dartford tunnel!
Top one Tim .That factor looked superb would love a job there.Those 5 axle tippers are common over here in Ireland think you can gross 40ton rather than 32 with an 8 wheeler
Epic mini voyage across Europe. Loved this one. 👍❤️🤩keep the videos coming 😊
Great vid Tim.As i,ve lived in Spain for 35yrs ,I like the fact you noticed how clean it is abroad and how good the roads are.What has happened to England.?
Reminded me of when I was a kid in the 70's going with my dad on long distance trips, we always seemed to start at 3am (ish), youre right about the rubbish, welcome to the dustbin of europe, and I NEVER thought i'd say it, but, there are not enough police on the roads!
Love to see more of these Euro trips. 👏👍🤙🖖✌🤘👌🍻
Night shift is nice and chill next to no traffic on the roads only issue you’ll get is road closures
Tim please bring the POV trucking vlogs back, I, and probably a lot of other fans miss those vids
I didn't realize what you old boys go through and the price of everything my good you got to turn over some money to make a living hats of to you absolutely loving the channel it's opened my eyes truck looks amazing the GTR is stunning not shore on the wheels . Safe trucking .
is it just me or our the dutch the most stylish people ever. The guy at the start is like the most stylish guy i’ve ever seen. Shame he’s not got trucker tim merch. Then he would be the most stylish.
Been waiting all week for this 😂
Awesome trucking video timbo!!! We used to fill up in France as fuel cheaper there. Might help with cost on the next trip! 😉
What a fantastic video Tim nice to see were you been one thing it's nice and clean on them roads any way take care see you next time .
Tim you're loved by many people .. bravo 👏
This is proper! it is awesome to be a part of first european load, Tim.
haha have those boots, always though they were a bit expensive for what they are but comfy.... then while still looking about for a driving job I been stuck on 12hr shifts running about the warehouse for a few weeks now, and i deeply regret buying them, the pain in the feet was unbelievable. gone back to my old boots.
The content is getting so much better every week mate absolutely loving it
Nice one Tim, but I’m old school, loved manual gear box. Twin split, 4 over 4 split. 12,16 speed it was more fun and kept you awake 😅
🎉🎉 Proper trucking. Nother mint video Tim. If you ever need a double man job abroad ill be more than happy to help
Nice one Tim! Glad to see you made there and back on time & safely too! Loved every minute of it ! Thanks for posting ! You need to do one of these trips perhaps with Shaunie boy also , non stop laughing 48hrs 😂😂 love the channel mate love all your videos!❤🚚👍🇦🇺
I’m also an agricultural nerd so this video was so good! Thanks Tim!
Nice one Tim. Glad you enjoyed Holland. However, one thing that I like UK for is the hills and scenery. Holland is too flat for me.
Just got back to Spain from Morocco late last night, with my motorbike. The ferry was 3 hours late, because of the time it took to load and unload the trucks. All the loading and unloading was done from the stern. Hence it took an eternity to reverse all the trucks into position. Even the offloading where they were driving off forwards took about an hour.
As a half dutch/brit who lives in the Netherlands, I agree. The architecture and houses are also much better in the UK than or almost everywhere else in Europe
Well i can imagine that except for the most southerneast part of the Nethrlands it's as flat as a pancake and the Netherlands have fantastic roads. Those are just a pleasure to drive upon especially for Trucks. While a mountain/hill road can be really a hell for trucks and a pleasure for motorbikes..
Fantastic trip but weren't you nervous with coming through Calais just in case you got any stowaways? My late Dad came through Calais in the dark and had bricks chucked at his cab from the side of the road. Maybe they hoped he'd stop but he didn't, even though he lost a mirror in the fracas. He reported it as soon as he could while still in france.
Thanks for sharing this trip Tim, great content and great to see you having a good time 🤠👍🏼
Euro trip has been a great watch Tim. Can’t wait to see the Volvo f v8 build & putting the plate on the r series, just need the interior doing
I love the drive at night to Germany and I hope the reg plate what u wanted bro and we will see u at truck fest in May keep up the good work ❤❤❤
Joost is the best!!!! Stop there every time I pass by, love them.
Another superb video Tim. Hope to get the chance to meet you this year.
9:54 That will be for transporting some sort of minerals, some of which are deceivingly heavy. You could load it to full weight, and have a look in the back. And wonder if they missed and the rest is on the weighbridge 😂😂
Yes, took him. I do want to see more of European driving of you trucker Tim you wanna see more videos of you aboard
This must be the coolest factory I’ve ever seen 😮
Nice to see you visiting the beautiful northern part of the Netherlands! Steenwijk is pronounced as "Stain Wyck" 😅 Will you come back to Assen this year? 😁
Awesome video Tim, really enjoyed your whole adventure.. 😊
Another brilliant video Tim , nice to see you being totally interested in what you were being told about there products, it would be great to see you doing more European journeys, I know it’s not cheap unfortunately it will never be, just keep up the great work brilliant 👍👍.
Great video TT, definitely more euro videos!
Cant beat his enthusiasm...fair plays to the fella...
The scanner you drove through was a life form scanner checking for stowaways.
Great watch mate👌 start my new class1 job on Sunday😎👌
Thanks for a Nice Video Tim ! Best Wishes from Sweden !
YEEEEHAAA didn't know ya could sing Brother! Well.....😱 Those kids reactions at the factory when u gave her the shoe - Priceless 👍 You make a good Ambassador for the UK Tim 💕🇮🇪
One real good video Tim really enjoyed the trip over seas
I hope u made money on that trip BUD ! But at least u know what u need for next trip ! Love trucks I used to drive an escort van and steer trailers missed out on getting a truck licence! But maybe I get time and money to get one !!
Would be good to see a breakdown of the total cost of doing it.
Great vid!.
Only ever seen one of those Fords at 20:22 out and about. Must go look for a review video after
Great video Tim and it's a shame the uk public doesn't have as much respect for truckers like the Nederlands does plus they make some awesome farm machinery 🎉
This Europe is a great watch,hopefully more jobs like this in Europe in the future
I would like to see you do somemore European road 🛣️ transport videos Tim and you can not wait for the 🚛 truck shows to start 😊
at 13:00 i spotted my truck, only if i knew you were in the netherlands, and stopping by Joost.. Better luck at assen

First time watching you Tim very entertaining and you have have a great upbeat attitude love the guy in Holland 🇳🇱 keep safe keep trucking now a fan
Good couple of videos, Tim. Keep up the good work 👍
Could have picked up that stranded UK car at the docks for a back load, had the right style trailer for it 😆 earned a few quid too
Gotta love eurotrash. Great content. I really enjoy these trips
Loved this European driving vlog! Would love for you to get a load down to Spain!
Great video Tim more please only one complaint the singing ouch lol😭 how about doing a completion for your subscribers to win a trip with you ?
Trucker tim love the videos. You should do a full track suit with trucker tim writing on it. I happily purchase a tracksuit from you. Have a fantastic day and keep on trucking
What an amazing experience this is the future
Those services are just in Belguim, Great resturant the Liver is brilliant meal....
