Neat fact is that 1 block in the Netherlands is 8 blocks in the rest of the world, making trucking much easier and faster
-
Only thing you forgot is that DAF is native to the Netherlands
-
As a dutch truck driver I have to say this video is 9.5/10. Only slight error is that a standard tracktor/trailer is limited to 16.5m (with trailers to 13.6) and combination trucks are indeed 18.75m The rest was just spot on!
-
5:35 In my home town we actually had this thing called 'truckersdag' (truckersday) during which all the local truckers would decorate their trucks with flowers and drive through the town in a big honking parade. They would also often take some local (mentally) handicapped people along and it was just generally a wholesome thing.
-
Dutch style trucks are so goddamn cool! Speaking of which, I think a video specifically about truck customisation across the globe would be cool
-
The Netherlands also takes effort to separate vulnerable traffic from fast and heavy machines. This is why it's a joy to drive as well as cycle and walk.
-
As an American who moved to The Netherlands in 2015, I was pleasantly surprised and shocked to witness the rear wheel sets on trailers being able to move independently from each other, sharply reducing turn radius in the narrow old city streets here. I wish your video had shown that feature. I don't know what the technical name is for such a system but I had never in my life seen it in the USA. Great video!

I'm English and I'll admit the Dutch are the best truckers about. See them all the time delivering to garden centres over here so speak to alot of them and they're also the friendliest truckers about as well.
-
I’m a trucker in NL and it’s nice to see you use actual dutch footage as I saw a few trucks I see daily!
-
perfect vid for me, studying college in the netherlands rn but hoping to be a truck driver when I'm done
-
As a dutch person myself who used to work at a truck washing company, I have to agree with the trucks being really beautiful here! Keep up the good work! Or as we say in dutch: Lekker bezig pik! Ga zo door :D
-
Dutch truckie here, thanks for the awesome video bringing us to light! Can't wait to see what you talk about next!
-
As a Dutch trucker myself, I feel proud to be part of our tiny Country's infrastructure and to be able to participate in it. Keep 'm rolling fellow Truckers and Trucksters 💪🏻🚛🚚
-
My main man actually did a vid of our little country, been waiting for this a long long time, thank you so much buddy ! Have a great day & "een fijne dag kerel !"
-
I have been a fan since the trucking Sim video. but now seeing a video come up about trucking in my home country gets me a whole different kind of excited.
-
Amazing video. As a Dutch person, I like that you make this and love to see this.
-
As bizzare as it sounds your videos are my favourite thing to watch when I'm stressed or sad. It's just nice knowing that someone out there with a soothing voice is willing to talk about trucks, something that a lot of people would just find mundane.
-
As someone who has done deliveries and pickups around downtown Montreal with a 40 foot trailer I can only imagine how hard it must be to do the same in a Dutch city, though my deliveries would probably have been handled in a Class 3 instead of a Class 1.
-
love your videos, dude! keep 'em coming!
-
As a dutchy i was definitely waiting for this video and you did not dissapoint!
