As someone who errs on the side of caution, my view would be don't bite off the hand that feeds you. It's your Datashredders A to B driving that has brought you your popularity and that's what I subscribed to. Your other videos re your home life, your M3 and your truck project are welcome asides from the main vlogs and complement them well. But it's not for me to tell you what to do, only you and Helen can make your decision and you must follow your instincts. As someone who only follows you on You Tube, I would say cut out the Tik Tok! I recognise it takes up a lot of your time and I think your vlogs are excellently edited. You decide, meanwhile this video was Very Good, Very Nice.
I agree with this as the TikTok’s seem to take a lot more work than the youtube does. Both take a lot of time but I personally think the youtube content is much more valuable.

Don’t quit driving mate! Stick at it until you get your operators licence. I know it’s tough graft at the moment but it’ll all be worth it. Especially when you’re your own boss in your own pride and joy, doing the job you love! And we can all carry on watching the videos you make!🤘🏽🤙🏽
Tim, your success is based on your fun attitude and insight into truck driving. That's the reason I and many others have followed you. Obviously only you and Helen can make the ultimate decisions but dare I say it, don't get too carried away with your popularity, keep yourself grounded and you'll continue to be a big hit on social media.
I do think the private O licence is a good option but in the future. Good luck with whatever you choose. You certainly make me and my kids smile. 👍
keep driving Tim, even if its part time. its golden content and it goes well with the other content you create. just go with your instincts man.
Hi Tim,
I think you should carry on driving full time for datashredders whilst you complete the Scania build. Save as much money as you can during this period and try to put a massive deposit down for another lorry so your monthly overheads are low.
Do your OL and get your insurance in place etc, go to Datashredders and become an Owner Operator and do loads for them or any company really. Sign up to the Haulage Exchange and get return work etc.
It might take a while but it will be worth it in the end. You can get your ADR and do Hazardous loads too.
Good luck mate
I don’t think you should leave but getting your own operating license would be cool like heavy loads
@dumb every heavy load and wide load driver all started with no experience some companies I have worked for didn’t even ask just the keys and delivery address
@@neilstewart2036 exactly
@dumb @Neil Stewart
You've all got a fair point but there is a difference between being given the keys as a new inexperienced employed driver and getting an O Licence as an inexperienced operator.

I 2nd this comment sir tim. This video was sweet your holiday home looked #VeryGoodVeryNice #MuchLove my man 💛🤝🏻
Don’t leave data shredder’s mate, you have a massive juggling act on your hands, remember where you came from, that little lad watching trucks with your cuz on that roundabout, your such an inspiration to EVERYONE, I’d love your life don’t turn your back for the extra dollar, people love you because we can relate to you, I’ve nearly finished my theory from my hospital bed( learning to walk again) give us a shout out mate please please please , let’s gooooooooo!
Tim don't quit man....I drive truck's too so I know the ups and downs of this job....and the reason why I love truck driving it's because it's my passion and love......
i love when u do the vids on data shredders and i hope u keep going with it even if it is part time
Tim can I just say I don’t think it’s worth leaving, I love watching the pov videos and I think it’s a shame you have slowed down on them, also it’s where the Channel started, I feel like the content won’t be mixed at all!
As a newcomer to this channel, the one thing that attracted me to this channel was your positive attitude and your trucking content.
I believe you have expanded too much in a short amount of time and you are trying to do all the things at once: merch, TikTok, video editing, truck fixing, truck driving, being a father and a husband etc. I can only warn you, this will most likely cause you to eventually burn out and stop enjoying things that you used to like. Please allow yourself some personal time. You don't have to update us on the hour. I hope you don't stop trucking because i see that you do it as a passion, not as a job. It's why I came here and enjoy your content. Thank you for showing me the brighter side of truck driving. The choice is yours!
Kind regards,
Andrew
Please don't quit your job just yet , never chop off the hand that feeds you , when the time is right then go for it 😀
Brilliant video. Love how you and Helen work together, works fantastically. Keep on trucking with your day job until you have your Scania finished and your operator license.
The days vlogs from data shredders are also interesting. Keep up the awesome content mate. Cheers Roger

Hang in there. Keep grafting while you get the financial side in place then get your O licence. Don't stop the vlogs though. They're one of very few that I actually watch all the way through and I really look forward to them. Mrs Trucker Tim has the patience of a Saint and is a massive bonus to the channel. Keep it shiny side up mate, keep on pullin'.
Tim, I'm Ugandan🇺🇬 from Africa and what brought me here was your trucking vlogs.
Please don't quit
Keep driving tim. Even if it's part time your content is so enjoyable to watch. Go with what you believe in and your subscribers and followers will appreciate what ever you choose to do. All the best Tim 👍 👌
Keep the driving at the core of your output buddy. It’s what we all came for. Only you will know the best way to achieve it but without it you will just be Tim - not quite got the same ring to it lol
Personally I think your social media has grown because of your truck driving don’t quit mate.
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side!
Another great entertaining video Tim. The trucking is what made this channel and will in my opinion continue to grow the channel, its the reason we all come to watch you originally and the vlogs is the bonus content.
Hi Tim.
My personal opinion and it is only that. People including me started watching you because of the fun content you brought with the insight into trucking. It’s important to remember why you got the followers in the first place and although the extras are nice scattered in the reason your page started and grew was to bring lorry driving to the front. Stick with it.
I can’t change my job to do this but something I would love to have tried earlier.
Don’t be too quick to risk your stability. Keep building and then see what the future brings naturally.
"Jackass!" I absolutely lost it 😂 cheers Tim
Tim please don’t quit you are the person that keeps RUclips I think you should carry on
Hi Tim 😃
My personal feeling is that you should do more of what is making you happy and less of what isn’t.
I think that a lot of people here, myself included, enjoy your very organic and relatable style of vlogging, and your datashredders-centric content is as enjoyable as any other your other content. With that being said I think it would be beneficial to your channel if you’re able to continue offering this kind of content off the back of working for datashredders part time or, of course, another firm if they’re unable to accommodate this, while you work towards your dreams. Cutting your hours will surely give you a good chunk of extra time to work on your other projects, whilst you work towards getting your own truck to go owner operator in the long run.
Keep doing what you’re doing man, you inspired me to get my license and I am absolutely loving driving an artic for a living. I can see just how you get such a kick out of it! So, thank you for helping me to take the plunge and change career!
All the best to you and the family ❤️
I started following Tim because of his trucking vlogs and videos, so I would love to see him stay at data shredders trucking. But at the end of the day the final decision is down to Tim and Helen. Great vlog again tim 👏🏻!
Can we just appreciate how much time trucker Tim puts into his vids also I think you should buy a new truck
Ultimately, you have one life so have to do what makes you happy. You mentioned that things would be good for content but would they be good for you? Your personality is infectious and one of the reasons I've subscribed along with your love of trucking. If you were to ignore the social media side, what would you enjoy more? The majority of subs will tag along with whatever journey you go on. Good luck😊
Op licence takes a lot of work to get, Tim. It’s also not something I’d be thinking about if you need to do less hours! Part time looks like the way to go, maybe cover sick days and holidays for 5 or 6 local companies, self employed?
Hi Tim, I think your content is excellent and think that you should stay with Datashredders for the moment. Running your own truck and own o license is most likely even more stress as I have seen how tough it can be all be it in the coach industry. Keep your options open mate and keep on trucking 😊
You won’t leave tim ! You will miss me too much !
Don't let him leave josh
Don't quit your day job Tim! I love watching your videos of you driving your truck for Datashredders, the world of social media is rather fickle. Keep up the good work what ever you decide!
Don’t quite trucking Tim that’s what 90% off your subscribers want maybe quite data shredders and join a different firm to spice up the content, etc flat beds, and delivering goods to disruption centres,,,,DO NOT GIVE UP TRUCKING!!! That’s why we are all here watching!!! Full time trucker Tim 👍👍😊👍
I've been on holiday twice at Ulswater Heights. I loved it. Hope yous had a great time.
8:18 almost made me die in laughter xD
8:18 sent me laughing crying when that dude cut across
PLEASE DON'T QUIT!!!! I love watching your truck vlogs all the time.
Do what feels right for you and that you enjoy the most, Tim, as long as that is financially viable of course! By the way, I thought Helen outro was great :P Who knew the M6 was such an exciting place 😆
That red truck you flashed in near beginning of the video is the trucks my boyfriend works on!!! He’s been wanting to see one on one of your vlogs for ages😁😁
Trucker Tim. You can't be trucker Tim if your not trucking.
Think long and hard before you give up your job.
Love you videos keep up the good work 👏🏻
1. Finish the Scania whilst studying for TM and fathoming out the operators license.
2. Talk to Datashredders about subcontracting in the first instance.
3. Employ someone to drive the rig on the days you don’t want to. Ain’t gonna make money if it’s only rolling 2/3 days a week.
Well discussing leaving your job on RUclips is a brave move, driving has to be the main content of the channel after all that’s the point “trucker tim” lol I’d stay in the job they seem very good to you and flexible, just do your owner op license on the side for now as additional content 👍🏻
Hi Tim . My thoughts ( though probably are completely different to what you are considering) are if you are enjoying your work for trans tech then consider working for them as well as the socials . And even if you do this option but still want to keep driving , you could do some trucking challenges .eg( get from point a to point b in a certain Time limit ) . Really enjoying the content . Just know whatever the decision ( I say this on behalf of everyone) we all have your back . Thank you for all you have done for us Tim ( and Helen for the merch ) . Have a nice time in the Lake District. Best of luck . Ewan
Got to do what's right for you and family bud the fans will follow you what ever you do 👍
Serious talk tim! Don't jump into anything, social is hitting off but don't rely on it mainly, would not recommend quiting your job at all, part time is a better option however if you're struggling with trying to juggle home life, work and RUclips concentrate on you and home life first!, I love your content tim and cannot wait for every upload, but it's not worth your home life being changed!, You and the family come first! Keep it up tim!
Big TANG,
P.s you got me dropping the tangs all the time now🤣
100% owner operator with your own unit.
If data shredders value you and your driving ability and all the free advertising you give them they will offer you a subbie position.
I'm sure due to your popularity in the trucking world you wouldn't struggle to get work.
This also give a deeper insite in to the world of trucking as an o,o
Hello Tim. I was at the Convoy at the park "aka Donnington". If I had known you was there I would have said hello to you. Keep doing what you do bud
I think going part-time, working towards the owner operators and then that's the best of both worlds!
I wouldn’t give up driving mate just go part time if possible it provides so much content and I think a lot of the viewers like to see it as much as the outside of work activities
If you leave your trucker job you won't be a trucker and thats what has made you so big on the social tim. I'd say you still need to be Trucker to keep you social as big as they are tim. Any up you m8 ace volg as per usual
Don't quit your Job mate , I know you're getting sucked into this glitzy glam life but it won't last mate if you're not doing the trucking side as that's what most people want to see.
Don't Stop drivnig Stay until you get a Operators licence Its tough at the moment ik but it will be worth it!
Hi , I agree, I think I will keep driving while I get my operators licence 👍🚛
Tim, you should stay exactly where you are until you have the paperwork in place for owner operator, plus enough in the back pocket for the associated costs, a yard, poss. trailers, importantly somewhere secure to park your units. Ontop of that, you need to be sourcing some haulage work, and possibly that will have an influence on the insurance requirements and own truck age. Can't have an older truck for work into London, etc.
Another great video love them all great watch, todays one at the end made me chuckle, regards to everything else you have to do what’s best for yourself and family. part time and your own lorry sound like a pretty good decision. Thankyou for all your hard work, time and effort for trucking and videos . kind regards mate and see you soon, Shaun&luke
Great video Tim, and brilliant content.
I am not a truck driver but the idea of working for my self would certainly appeal as an owner operator (hope that’s right) as the driving content is what’s made your channel great so far. Keep up the great work Tim, and do what’s right for you 👍👍
Oh, please don’t stop driving! I love the driving blogs. Of course it’s your decision to make, but trucking is what you do!
I’ve missed the driving videos. Don’t quit mate the content is epic!
#TruckerTim another amazing video. Maybe try increase your merch might help on revenue. Some ideas could be truck/car air fresheners. Possibly some things that some truckers could use as well. But don't give up data shredders yet speak to your boss he might be able to accommodate your reduced hours. My boss is a rally driver and one of his main sponsors is asset alliance group 🚛🚛🚛💨💨💨🏎️🏎️💨💨💨💨💨
Hi Colin , thanks for your comment, I think air fresheners is a great idea, ill get Helen to look into it! so glad you are enjoying the vlogs! I am back at work next week so will have to have a chat 👍🚛
Don't quit trucking You're TRUCKER Tim for a reason
I’d recommend looking for somewhere with a work pattern of Monday/Tuesday (Monday night out and home Tuesday night), Wednesday/Thursday (Wednesday night out and home Thursday night), Friday working or maybe just Monday/Tuesday spending the night in the truck
Tramping vlogs every once in a while would be amazing! Whatever you choose Tim I’m sure you’ll rock it! 🤙🏻😎
If you stop driving you will be no longer be Trucker Tim just Tim !! .
I am not sure quitting your job now is a good idea, trucking is the reason you are so successful and we would miss the content. Getting your operator license makes a lot of sense once your show truck is finished as you don’t want to take on too much financially too soon. Also I sent a message via your merch store over 1 week ago, but have not had a response yet, could Mrs trucker Tim have a look when she has a spare minute, thanks in advance 👍🏻😀
I’m from Peterborough and just found your channel, bloody love it. Tim, what a great guy. I now want to get my class 1. Keep the blogs coming, TONES!!!!!! Baby Shark is the best 1
Love Helen on the Vlog and camera lol very funny you two together.
Another great video Tim, the ending was very funny.
In terms of whether you should leave Data Shredders, as a self-employed business owner, this is how I'd approach it. I'd go part time, say two days a week IF you're earning the equivalent full time wage through RUclips, week in, week out. You HAVE to think with your head, not your heart, otherwise you'll be losing money.
I'm not a trucker, but getting your owner operator licence will take up more time than your current position with Data Shredders. Being self-employed isn't glamorous, you'll work harder than you've ever worked before to make a success of it, which is not what you want to do.
Just my thoughts - message me with any business questions. Can't wait for the next video!
My personal opinion, i'd love to see you buying a lorry and grow your own little business. I love your Datashredders vlogs but i also like to see something more than curtainsiders. For example; containers, refridgerated or maybe heavy loads. But keep in mind that you should what you like, because if you are not enjoying the job you are filming for us, the vlog will not turn out as fun to watch. Whatever you deside we support you! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Keep your job and do your licence while you have a job. great to watch
Don’t give up your job. You can see you love it Tim
What you have to be careful off it that your social media side of income can abruptly come to and end, where as your employment is key, only you can decide fella.
Hi Tim first time I’ve messaged luv your videos
Don’t quit your job until you’ve got your OL if that’s what you want to do. It’s hard work mate getting your OL. First need your transport manager CPC 2 week course & around 2k it has a pass rate of 28% or was 6yrs ago when I was looking into it if your getting it yourself.
Having your own truck is very very hard mate a lot of very long long hours & weeks I know!
work rates are not great, brake downs, inspections every 6-8 weeks, fuel, truck insurance, load & liable insurance, customer taking 60-90 days to pay etc You need around 30K just to get started and show a bank balance of around 23k for 3 months just to get your OL I believe I’m going back like say 6yrs when I looked into it
If it’s what you want to do go for it mate but make sure you’ve got money in the back just incase
Luv your content but don’t kill yourself
PS that lad Max you met is my best mates son lol
You do you Tim, I'll watch whatever you decide to do as im sure many others will. Its your life so have a really good long think about where you want to go with your future
Tim I brought some trucker Tim stickers for my dads birthday and I’m going to put it on his work truck (Your welcome)
Tim your face throughout your missus explaining yourself to you was absolutely priceless, love it ahaha
You’re up in my part of the country. I normally work in Penrith and live in Carlisle, have a great time!!!
I wouldn't give up the driving I can't speak for everyone when but I come for the trucking vlogs.
I think getting your own truck is a good idea however I wouldn't rush either if it was me I would make sure that there was some of the original content to keep people coming for what they love and that's you and your trucking vlogs
Pls don’t quit data shredders because that is why I subbed and they are my fav vids with pov and all of that TANG👋 TONES 🎺
Maybe go for a job where they can accommodate your needs ie 2 days a week but go to a company who’s got a really nice fleet behind them , then it makes for great content in terms of what your driving and others around you / and Incorporate a sponsor into such as maybe 3 days a week 2 driving and one filming fleet content ect ? Just another idea
You would be mad to give up your data shredder job. Easy runs, early finishes, Wear what u want.
It’s that job that got u recognised to set u up for your rewarding social media income.
Dont change the formula Tim you might end up regretting it.
Don’t quite your job trucker tim
I obviously don’t know your entire circumstances ie your financial situation etc and how that would all be affected by leaving data shredders. But from what you have told us I don’t think at the minute it is a wise idea to quit your job at data shredders completely but from what you’ve said going part time at data shredders or other would be a good alternative as the trucking vlogs are a staple part of your channel and the reason most of us subscribed. (I have been missing the TruckerTim Trucking Vlogs)
trunkings great I used to do Edinburgh to Stockport and return every night great in the summer
Tim keep driving the vlogs are entertaining but also genuine but whatever you decide myself and im sure 99% of the viewers will keep supporting the channel.
Got to remember why people watched and subbed in the first place. Don't change too much too soon imo
Fall time please Tim I love trucker videos It make me smile and I really love to be truck driver
Honestly the work vlog are what have made this channel and i still enjoy them the most. But at the end of the day its your life do as you please. Ill still watch
Keep driving at Data Shredders. We enjoy your content.
As most are saying, the professional trucking is how we all got here, so don't completely bin it off. Word of warning about youtube, the money can be great, but it can also disappear in the space of a few months.
Hello Tim, another great video. As someone who came to your channel watching the driving vlogs and really enjoying them. I don't think you should leave datashredders. It's the core of your channel and what most subscribers enjoy. The lifestyle vlogs are a great add on but for me it's all about the driving. I would get the truck rebuild out of the way first then consider your future. Ultimately it's yours and Helen's decision and whatever it is i wish you all the best for the future 👍
Do not leave everyone loves ur content
You won't be trucker tim without the trucking 🥺 definitely finish the Scania, and then get your own freelance truck 👌
You still need the trucking vlogs mate, love the other constant as well, just keep on trucking trucker tim 🙏🙏
Go for it tim i quit a really good job last year driving bitumen tankers and got my own truck everyone said i was crazy but its the best thing i ever did and wish i did it years earlier
8:16 Laughing my butt off at this point 😂😂😂
Great to watch, you were staying just up the road from where I live in Keswick
Great video Tim I would stay at data shredder tell u truck is ready and u could use it as a work truck aswell as a show truck
Hi Tim, could you not try doing a 4on/4off job if.you could find one. Give just enough time to film for your social media, but also 4 days off to do other things.
I hope your vlogs stay, as me and my little boy love watching.them.
Keep up the good work, mate. All the best.
Your channel is based around your truck driving with DS. Whilst the idea of your own truck is a good idea, the current ‘economic climate’ would be a bad move. We still have a population that has spare money to spend ie sponsorship and merch purchasing which with rising costs that spare cash will soon dry up as the cost of energy over the winter months hits.
You have a solid paying job with DS and that will provide all the content you will need to keep us coming back.
I know you’ve dabbled with the idea of a video editor before and of course it was a complete farce, however I’m sure if you put out there through this channel or other outlets you require a editor, you’ll have plenty in your inbox who will get what your videos are about and how you want your videos to be presented.
Great video don’t change what you are doing so entertaining getting your own truck would be great just like Lena trucking👍👍
Please don't go.i need my fix of trucker tim . Keep those wheels turning 🎬
Come to Jack Richards mate! They have super flexible working patterns and could fill the gap until you get your second truck! Great video as always dude! 👌💪👍😎
Getting your OOL and another truck could be great for the channel, as long as you can get plenty of work. I wouldn't be quitting until you have all those sorted.
