UK/European Trucking. It's been a while

[@danielmason4640]

Monetize all the way man if anything I would look at it like in a way the money helps towards the cost of all the equipment and time gone into making good quality videos for us (the viewers) to enjoy... Great to see you back man

[@lennylion8724]

Monetise mate,glad to see you back.

[@colingreenfield8487]

Hi Daniel, all wagon drivers & ex w/d will sense the STRESS in your voice working out the hours and with the digicard there can be no cheating like back in my day. And laypeople say being a int wagon driver is easy. Watching you down here in Espana living the dream, Best wishes Colin.

[@d1986scott]

I just saw the back end of paper rachis when I first passed end of 2007 we had a few wagons still running paper tachos 😂 good fun lol. Enjoy sunny Spain hopefully we’ll be able to come back the summer!

[@grantcochrane7472]

Loving the videos mate. I'm getting back into the European driving scene soon and watching your videos is ace. Keep.em coming

[@kulkarniprabhanjan]

Am glad that my fav trucker yt is going to bring more videos and monetizing the channel. thanks to you. I had a great time watching the older video. keep on doing your work mate.

[@johnk8926]

Glad you are back, I'm sure you will not lose subscribers,if you monetize,why should it cost you to entertain us.Just do what is best for you.It's good that you have work to keep you going,until the euro work begins again.Love your drone footage,the italian stuff was superb.Monetize,keep up the good work,stay safe.Cheers.

[@davidgoodfellow7977]

Love your channel mate. Would love to do your line of work. I'm a Hgv driver myself but on trunking work atm. Was once offered to do the band touring but the coaching side of it when I drove them. Take care stay safe

[@jarimarkkanen6383]

Good to see you back. I am Finnish former truckdriver. I started 1984 with vans and lorrys and 1988 i started driving trucks. Covid quit my career 2020. So after 36 years driving i went back to vocational school this autumn. I am really enjoying studing to be come audio - visual media assistant. My trucking now is only watching you guys doing that. Take care

[@charlieone4694]

Good to see you back Mr Scott, it's your channel and you can do what you like, take in consideration that the better the quality the more data is used and on a phone or tablet the difference between a 4k and 1080p is not that much personally, and on the desktop for a 4k youtube clip you need a pretty good gaming pc to stop the buffering. Safe driving out there, alot of people have forgotten how to drive.

[@cafedeltransit]

Good to see ya back in the saddle fella,lovin the Jones Meadow track along with usual great footage.👍

I've missed those musical time lapses. Welcome back, and what you do with your content is completely your decision. Sitting here getting it for free doesn't give anyone a right to dictate what you do with your time, effort and money.

I don't mind if you monetize it. I just enjoy your videos. I'm happy when you are on the road and making money for yourself, but it sure helps when you get to go to different countries and you take us along on those adventures. I don't mind if it's only across the UK until concerts start again. I just like being there to see what you see. Have a wonderful week, and hope to see you soon.

The quality and content of your videos is great, Daniel. Im looking forward to see what upgrades and improvements you make, should be interesting. I hope you don’t decide to ever give up your videoing because this is one of the better channels on You Tube. If your deciding to monetise the channel then do it, I for one will definitely continue watching, I’ve missies watching the channel recently, glad your getting back into it.....it’s a start 👍

[@sammyalx6978]

I watched all your videos mate. You "made me" join the rock n roll industry which was something I've always wanted to do. When I started looking I was happy on my 4 on 4 off and March 2020 kick us all in the nuts. I joined at the worst possible time but well I'm in.

[@anthonypaterson7066]

Great to have you back. Regarding monetising, "Do what you have to Do", be it a one of or small regular payment. You provide some unique footage for our benefit, why should you be out of pocket, especially in current times, it must be financially draining. I hope to many people do not think as you said "I will still do it" therefore just freeload. To many are wanting everything FOC. Good luck and stay safe and healthy.

[@d1986scott]

anthony paterson I don’t want any payments from anybody mate monetisation just means KZbin pay me a small percentage of revenue from ads in the videos. I would never ask anybody for any money, nobody asked me to buy any of the stuff I’ve bought and I wouldn’t expect anybody else to donate towards it. Monetisation means I get money from KZbin and KZbin only

[@paulguy2545]

Hey Dan, its great to see you back on the channel, and that you’ve been keeping well & busy! About the Monetization of your channel and just an Observation about Adobe Premiere Pro on the Mac that you MAY (0r may not) have. I think you absolutely SHOULD monetize the channel because for one it will pay for the equipment that you’ve invested in, and maybe you should think about having a Merch Shop (T-Shirts, Mugs, Caps etc) that kind of thing, of course this would depend on what other viewers of the channel think & this could also go toward things so you wouldn’t have to pay out of your own pocket! About Premiere Pro, its a really great piece of Pro editing software... but its not quite (from what I’ve heard) as Optimized for the Mac Platform, as it is running on Windows Machine, so you may experience longer wait-times when Exporting the kind of High-Quality Footage that you will be shooting. This might not be an issue, as it isn’t always! if you bought Final Cut Pro (which is Mac Only & Optimized for it) this wouldn’t be an issue, like I said earlier, I’m just pointing out an observation and still think Premiere Pro is still MORE than good enough, so you should stick with what you have for a good while! I hope you do go down the monetization route as I’m really looking forward now to what you have planned. Keep on trucking Dan & Stay Safe out there!

[@d1986scott]

Paul Guy I weighed them both up before I made the decision but premiere pro definitely seems to be the more widely used and there are lots of useful videos and tutorials on KZbin. I’m sure there are just as many for final cut but it just seems to be the more popular choice premiere pro and I certainly enjoy using it from what I’ve done so far.

[@kenstephenson9959]

Hiya Daniel, first of all, Great to see you back fit and healthy. Pity about your Vegas trip, but all being well by next year we will be getting back to normal. Excited to hear about your substantial outlay on Camera and editing equipment, and am sure you will soon get the gist of it all. And will be knocking out some top quality vlogs. As for monetization of your channel. I think you are doing right trying to recoup some of your outlay. Although I know that's probably not the reason you are thinking of doing it. What ever you decide to do, I will still be viewing. Safe driving buddie. 🚛🌪️

You lucky man, what a lovely job. I did it in my younger years, loved it. Then made the mistake of switching to driving freight trains. I hate it, but I can’t go back. I make a lot more money than trucking. (More than double for half the work), and once you get comfortable with a certain paycheque it’s hard to go the other way. My hearts not in it though.

Great news to see your back on the road and continuing to blog 👏👏👏 Ref monetizing the channel, personally I don't agree that anyone should charge even if it's obviously a subscribers option to sign up or not. There's been to many UK trucker bloggers of late offering the same option, some even offering a £14.99 monthly option which is bloody ridiculous but if people choose to sign up then thats there choice. Least you had the gonads to be up front and honest about your reasons and that you'd go with the majority. What costs would you be looking at offering? Have you thought about maybe asking for one off donations to help off set the cost off the gear you've already bought, I'd donate for 👍

[@d1986scott]

Chris Ryan hi, I won’t ever go down the subscription route as I don’t think my videos justify anybody paying to see them and I don’t think it’s fair that some people should see things and others shouldn’t. Monetising the channel means KZbin would pay me a percentage of revenue based on the views of the adverts they place on my videos. This means it makes no difference to you as a subscriber, nothing changes and I’m not sure you even notice any difference. Just that I am eligible to get money from KZbin for the adverts. I would never ask anybody to donate or pay anything. That’s why I considered monetisation as it makes no difference to subscribers

[@chrisryanst]

@@d1986scott Thanks for the reply, I misunderstood the monetizing aspect but now you've explained that you not going down the sponsor route and that your basically asking you're subscribers would we mind if you let YT add adverts and you receive a revenue for that then by all means do it , as explained your quality will massively improve so I for one could put up with a few adds 😀 😉
