Came across this chapo on youtube he seems to be very popular
Think he has his hand in a few pie’s, as a owner driver he seems to be a part time trucker
One of the videos was at a trucker show and he had people queuing for hours
He has to be doing something right, with the money he hands out for fines and repairs and mistakes he certainly not making it from haulage
TikTok Trucker Tim inspiring new lorry drivers
A lorry driver who shares his passion for the job on social media said it was “awesome” to be inspiring others.
Tim Carter, 34, from Cambridgeshire, known as Trucker Tim, has picked up more than 750,000 followers on TikTok since the start of 2021, and has also been building a fan base on YouTube.
His videos follow his trips around the UK, show what his job involves day-to-day and describe what it is like to spend nights in the cab.
He said: “The amount of messages I get saying, ‘Oh my god, you’ve inspired me to become a HGV driver.’ They send me pictures of their pass certificate. It’s awesome.”
The old chestnut no experience, you just have to keep knocking on doors
Meanwhile anyone hear like greggs food
WARRINGTON truck sales firm, Smith Bros, has launched a competition to find the ‘sexiest truck’ in the UK – and will be judged by none other than the TikTok famous, Trucker Tim.
Smith Bros, which offers a range of quality used trucks and commercial vehicles, is offering the sexiest mother trucker a £500 Greggs voucher. This is the equivalent of around 212 steak bakes, 344 sausage rolls or 625 yum yums – which is more than enough fuel for the road.
And my personal favourite truckers that keep me on the road in the hope of meeting up one day:-)
Truckergirl850 and truckerbaddie, now they’ll surely get truckers trucking all day long
You mean ■■■■■■ Tim, He is a disgrace to Road Transport,
Watching him for Five Minutes is Five to long, ffs you would want to give him a job ? only if you where a stupid as him, That YouTube does seem to bring out all the stars though lol.
Cringeworthy. Just watched a couple of his videos. What an attention seeking knob, I didn’t bother subscribing. He could undo the good publicity of ten mature, professional drivers, in a twenty minute video.
But if he can make money for nothing,.and his chicks for free, out of misguided sychophants and impressionable wide eyed fan boys, he maybe aint as daft as you think.
I suppose it’s a more modern take of the stuff that made me want to be a trucker as a young and naive mpressionable lad.
It was all Convoy, Sonny Pruitt,.and BJ & The Bear…(last one not to be confused with a dodgy depraved film that was banned )
None of which bore any resemblance to reality.
Instead of cruising down Route 66 with a streamline conventional Kenworth in the sun, you were going over the A66 in fog, in a TK Bedford wearing a thick parka cos the heater didn’t work.
Surprise! A YouTube that has little to do with the real world.
Putting up 2 or 3 YTs per week, it is a surprise he has any time left to actually do any driving at all*.
The videos don’t appeal to me. So what? Not a lot.
The videos make the industry look like summat it isn’t? Possibly a problem.
Showing noisy smoky trucks upsetting people and treating it like a joke? Silly kid stuff.
*Must be hard keeping across the hours regs with all the work involved in producing those videos.
that just confirms what i thought he was doing… shout make load noise all the time covering everyone in crap. all flash no show talking enough cobblers to squeeze in as many ad’s as possible
@switchlogic put up a video about him a while ago.
Since Luke doesn’t come on here much lately (maybe my mention will give him a poke?) here is a link.
He seems to be doing well at making money from media, but is little to do with trucks.
And as Luke says, if he can be arsed to look at TNUK he won’t be weeping, but laughing.
