Neatly on a foldable three -legged camping stool, he is sitting on the viaduct over the A28 near Hooghalen. In front of him is a camera on a tripod. Simon (10 years old) enjoys it to the full. His father is sitting next to him, also on such a small stool.
“I love trucks very much,” says Simon, who comes from Aalden. “Trucks are just beautiful. All those lights and I know a lot. Yes, beautiful!” He has already seen a few dozen passing by. “I think about 20 or 30 or something.” He has been there for a few hours and takes several photos of the trucks. Very sharp. What is the most beautiful he has seen passing by? “Yes, no idea. They are all beautiful!”
Another truck is coming. “Hey, that’s Martijn Kuipers,” he shouts. Quickly with his face against the camera. Click, click the camera. Tuut, Tuut does the truck. Simon raises his finger, as a thank you. “Martijn Kuipers is a truck driver who also has a YouTube channel and has become known,” says his father.
