Loch lomond side is bad at the best of times, but at night with the logging and frost product trucks on it it's a real undertaking if your not sure of it. They don't hang around and drive the road so often they some drive like it's a racetrack.
Hi Tim,thankyou for bringing back so much memories of the Highlands, I was so lucky in my professional when I was assigned to BNFL making deliveries to all the nuclear plants starting in Weymouth then going up the west coast right up to the top to Dounreay power station and then down the east side ending in dungeness power station this journey took nine days I total then once you have finished you had two days off then you start all over again, unfortunately I had a heart attack which followed a triple heart bypass in which DVLA stripped me of my C1E licence after 43 years in the haulage industry ,I just want thank you for the memories I shared the same enthusiasm for the job as you do Tim keep on trucking buddy Regards Ken.
Hey Tim, if you go to the Highlands again you want to take the motorway up to Sterling then cross country on the A84. It's a much wider and faster road but equally stunning. It brings you out at Crianlarich so you don't miss out on the moors either
Love the video and POV Tim. The views up in Scotland look fab, and great that nothing happened to the lorry while you were parked in the lay by overnight.
Going up to Inverness one winter’s evening, no traffic steady 50mph -10 outside that’s without wind chill. Came to some Road works lifted foot from throttle nothing happened, still going 50 mph. Quickly switched off ignition. Set speed to 30 mph put in high gear let clutch out, engine still doing revs for 50 mph, and limped to Inverness. Parked in a lay-by opposite a fish and chip shop, and waited till morning.
I love your enthusiasm Tim and tbh like the "driver" who got you a loaf of sourdough bread I'd probs get you a coffee or something aswell as would be a pleasure one day. This is the sort of work i'd love to get into. I sure love driving these class 1s. Keep up the good laughs and good content dude
Wow! 2 things Tim !! 1. You need to upload your playlist, thats my kinda stuff to get me through the nightshift trunks Glasgow to Haydock and back. 2. I dont envy you going up that part of the A82 at night, I live in a wee town called Clydebank, as you came across the Erskine Bridge you woulda kept left for Crianlarich, if you keep right there for glasgow youd be at my house probably in less than 5 mins. Love when you come up here but yet to see you 🤣 happy trucking 🤟
i carnt belive it 4 weeks ago i was at fort william and the veiws are breathtaking and you went the exact same way did hope you enjoyed the trip a lovely vid mate cheers
Was a good surprise, starting work, pull out the yard and see your truck parked up outside, I was in the Tug, shunting a trailer across the road. Nice seeing you.
next time you come up to fort William try going through Stirling and calendar the brings you out at the end of the narrow bad road you don't like after loch Lomond
Can't belive you didn't film more of the A22 it's awesome, especially coming down towards the end of it. She must be doing good 56 by the lookof it.Keep the great videos coming! 🫱
Job well done there Drive, can't ask for more when you do stuff like this ,customer satisfaction guaranteed, truck looks lovely when set off , keep it coming Tim,,, be lucky mate Ba Baaarrb!!! 👍👍
Did that drive up from Dublin to Belfast then on to Cairnryan up to Fortwilliam a couple of times. Nice drive, but then again I was only in a little van. Can't imagine what that run by Lough Lomond is like in a lorry. It's fairly tight. Was being a lorry both times which was actually nice as made everyone behave themselves.
First video of yours I've seen Tim, thoroughly enjoyed it! Completely agree with you about how stunning the road through Glencoe is, one of my favourite ever.
I love the video of your drive up to fort william, scotland, with some lovely scenery. i had a lovely scenery drive in the company truck up to glasgow and back to manchester myself the other day. I noticed that some of your trip along the M8, M74 that reminded me of the lovely trip up there and back that i went on.
what a great vid love fort williams went up there for a few days with a pub group n that road was crazy we arrived in the dark and left in the day crazy road
A great watch. We lived by the bridge at 19.28 when we lived in the UK. We always drove via Stirling when drove up or down, kinder, more flowing roads. Not sure it is with a HGV though.
Hi Tim, great video, live on Skye and travel Glencoe route often. One day hopefully will meet you. Take care in all you do, good luck with the new workshop. Cheers 🍻
Amazing video as usual mate, your really living the life I want lol, driving a truck is something I've always wanted to do but have never been able to afford. So watching your vids is the next best thing, keep it up
Thanking you back in my archives in 75 me and 2 mates drove 3 russian belaz dumptrucks from loch kishorn down to iron ore terminal largs we pulled in a picnic area in glencoe to refuel with 45 gallon drums and hand pumps in the bodies you should have seen cars caravans go flying out find another rest place it was a brilliant trip woudnt be allowd now great times
Some Valley = Glencoe. Drove up there in the evening in my Westfield many years ago... It didn't take very long. Love the Highlands. Have taken the caravan up there from Midlands a few times. Great trip.
Its always an awesome vlog when tim is on long trips especially when he is Scotland bound damn those views 😍 & lovely people ,tim you should do some more trucking in north ,I suggest you to change those cabs lights to white LEDs
@@rohangaming642 lovely people your kidding its a nonce pit and people r full of themselves btw am as Scott Place is shit iv there's better views annd landscapes than Scotland 🤣
Hi trucker tim . Tim when you said you were going through some valley it's not a valley tim it's Glen cos and the mountains on either side take you past Glen coe ski centre where in winter you can go up to the top and ski snow board or sledging and that arched bridge is Rannoch Moor very desolate in winter. Plus that road through the mountains is very challenging in snow
That climb up past Bridge of Orchy is amazing. The viewpoint at the top is breathtaking. Further on, just before Glencoe is the road to Glen Etive where the image of Daniel Craig standing next to the DB5 in Skyfall was filmed. As you decend down from Glencoe you would have passed the site ofJimmy Savilles cottage (least said about that the better). I'm doing that exact run tomorrow with some mates. Ardrossan to Mallaig. Brilliant content Tim. 5⭐👍🏻
Great content as per 👍🏻. As a fairly new trucker I’ve always wondered what the driver etiquette is on blocking lay-bys to take a break when they’re full…..any advice appreciated 😊
Good job. I hate that tight stretch of road around Loch Lomond, and that’s me just driving a car or van. Doing that in an HGV would seriously give me the fear. If you ever get a job to go to Stornoway then take it, and then head down to Harris. Google Luskentyre beach 😍 although the last mile or so to that beach is a tight single track road, so maybe not best for an HGV, but the road from Stornoway down to Harris is a real beauty.
Next time - when you get to the roundabout at Crianlarich, take the A84 / A85 to Stirling (M9) ….. still a nice drive and cuts out the really terrible bottom end of the A82 for ya 👍
Back in the day, I used to chuckle at my ol' truck driving mate responding to magazine competitions to identify a roundabout or junction. Then I watched this, and.... oooh I *know* that bridge! I've been on that road! I know *EXACTLY* where you were driving. The A82 bridge isn't a million miles away from where Bond was filmed for (I think) Spectre. :)
Tim, you should take "her indoors " up to Fort William and book yourselves on the Jacobite steam train, that runs from Ft Wm to Mallaig. It's a 6.5 hrs round trip, but we'll worth it. The train was used in a Harry Potter film going over the Glenfinnan viaduct.
Used to do that road on a weekly bases to load salmon from were you park & from Dunns nor north Berwick , loved doing those roads winter or summer it is still great to be up fort William way , another great video , 🤙🤙🤙🤙
I love loch lomand , such a pretty place , we recently went up to Aberdeen and glasgow in premier inn, went on the falkirk wheel , I love Scotland , loved watching you drive through beautiful Scottish scenery x
Great vlog Tim, have you ever thought about Amazon loads? U could of got a back load n got double bubble for your return journey. But not sure what Amazon loads wud go on a flat bed 🤔
Honestly so weird seeing you drive on roads I’ve probably been on about 100 times but I do agree if anyone can get themselves by the loch and towards fort William few places to stop going that way aswell to enjoy the amazing views , great video !! 👌🏻
Well done drive. Im Currently doing drop in Lichfield with a double deck. Then heading back to Southampton. Keep up the good work never miss a video. Best regards.
Hello Tim, I have driven from oban to Glasgow and also fort William plenty of times and can say that going through the rest and be thankful (the Inveraray way) is a bit of diversion but good option unless there are works at the RTB it is also a whole lot safer than the Loch Lomond road. I have seen cars upside down get smashed by swinging caravans and some cars hitting rocks that fall off the landslip. Don’t know how truckers feel about this option but i hope it helps. It takes you to Tyndrum-Glencoe-Fort William regardless.
Ben Burgess towed me out of a snowy incident in Hetherset off the A11 a few years ago. Going round a field on the end of a chain in a artic was better than Alton Towers.Bought him a bottle of scotch as a Thankyou.
just noticed ur pc will go boom the cooler is upside down the braided wires need to be the other way up bc there is an air bubble at the top of each cooler and so where the pump is is where the air bubble is so it wont last long like that anyway love the vids tim
Big shout out to the fella that dropped tim some food in the morning, that was a lovely thing to do 👌👌
Sure beats stealing a plate in the middle of the night 😂😂
100% great gesture..🤙
The Loch Lomond road is not a great road and in the dark . Really bad
Scots ftw
Nice one Tim ,I was in the Wrecker you Followed on The A17 . Just Dropped A bus of in Norwich , Good luck Fella with your Endeavours
Loved the POV again! Some stunning scenery in Scotland too. Thanks mate for the content 👍

@@TruckerTim half a tank of petrol for the new skyline their Timbo 🤣🤣
POV was perfect, just the right amount of time. Tbh cutting in and out with a mix of pov and holding the camera would make the videos even better
Pretty sure holding the camera is illegal. But he seems to do it often.
That road through Glen Coe is even better coming the other way, breathtaking👌✋
Many years ago, an old friend loved Glen Coe and she wanted to buy a particular white bungalow there. Then its owner died and shit hit the fan. 💩 🪭
Glencoe is even nicer 😅
@@GenaF I’m sure I heard recently that someone had got planning permission to do something with that, proper eyesore, should’ve flattened years ago

left Lossiemouth at half one in the morning once, 3hrs my main beam was on, not a sole on the road, night time in Scotland is great
Such an upbeat presenter! Love it, and I've subscribed.
Can’t wait to see the transformation on your new Trucker Tim HQ
Loved this journey. Thanks for keeping it in one video, much appreciated.
Map appreciation comment! Good stuff Tim! OMG that scenery is incredible!
Good on you tim. I loved watching your videos, always good to see a trucker tim notification, you really are living the dream
Loved this Tim, driven that a few times from Suffolk, glad you got to see the Jacobite and Glencoe Driving will never fail to raise a smile.
I love your enthusiasm Tim and tbh like the "driver" who got you a loaf of sourdough bread I'd probs get you a coffee or something aswell as would be a pleasure one day. This is the sort of work i'd love to get into. I sure love driving these class 1s. Keep up the good laughs and good content dude
Drove to there in a coach about 10 years ago from Coventry, you bought back some memories of those views Tim. Geep on truckin'

Great video again Tim I was in Fourth William last week on a few days holiday in Scotland
Cracking vlog Tim. Love Scotland 🏴🚚
I just did them roads last week, with mates on our motorbikes. The scenery is absolutely amazing. Cameras just can’t do it justice.
next time you come up to fort William try going through Stirling and calendar the brings you out at the end of the narrow bad road you don't like after loch Lomond
Loving the videos Tim. I’ve driven around Scotland in a van for a previous company and the views are stunning.
Can't belive you didn't film more of the A22 it's awesome, especially coming down towards the end of it. She must be doing good 56 by the lookof it.Keep the great videos coming! 🫱
Nice run used to love running up there breathtaking scenery ❤
Done that run to Scotland, it’s like you said get up there and see the countryside and that road is narrow. Enjoyed the video.
It's an old-school trucker Tim video, up there with the classics from back in the day!
