  • Kate Keeps on Trucking in her Freightliner! 2021
    In today's video I drive the big tandem Freightliner truck full of wheat to the commercial grain elevator! Yes I drive the big rig on the freeway again! I get to drive up to the scales and get my ticket. Then I have to drive the truck into the building where I unload all the wheat. My Dad said teaching me to drive truck is why he has white hair! LOL . I also tarp the grain and untarp the grain mostly by myself. I really have to try hard to work the clutch. I love driving the tandem truck. It sure has a lot of horsepower! Dad gives me driving tips on the go. I use my mirrors a lot more today. Driving on the freeway is really exciting. I'm learning how to make turns too. Using the brake is a big of a challenge today. I am really excited to be learning more about driving truck. It is a lot harder than it looks. Dad is a great teacher and I am grateful he takes time to help me. I hope you enjoy the video!

    My Story…
    Hello. My name is Kate Stephens, and I am a 16-year-old 4th generation farmer. My family has been farming wheat in north-central Montana since my great grandfather immigrated from Denmark in 1912 and homesteaded our land. My family has been teaching me about farming since I was two years old. I run one of the combines on the farm at harvest. I believe that it is important for everyone to know where their food comes from and the families who produce it. I love our farm, and I hope that my Farm to Fashion and Farm to Table products can help educate people about where their food comes from in a fun way. That is how Kate's Ag became a reality. I hope you love my products as much as I do because this is an extension of our farm and the grains we have been growing to feed other families for over one hundred years.

    OK, my grey hair is turning silver...lol...Actually u did quite well...it's a muscle memory training exercise...15min to half an hour in the yard every day for a week u will be a pro. Driving to/through the grain elevator adds another level of stress. You did not run off the road, run into anything or anyone, or get banned from the grain elevator, and your dad is still talking to you, so I call that a win. Great job! Two thumbs up!

    Kate, this is one of my favorites, you happiness is really apparent. Imagine when in 50 years, your grandkids asking you what you did on the farm when you were there ages and you being able to say, "Well, let's look at the CZcams videos, I drove the freightliner and the combines." The kids will say, "Oh Grandma, you had it so hard you had to drive your own trucks and combines back then, We all have self driving trucks and combines now."

Well Kate just make the seat comfortable for you. Cause girl the more that you drive the big truck the more you are going to learn. Because you have the best teacher teaching you.

    Hi Kate. I have a Kate also, she is 42. You are a mature young lady and your folks are doing a great job of rearing you. Your dad is a stoic Dane. My grandmother from Norway was also stoic. He wants to see you succeed and do things the right way. The engine is connected through the transmission and that makes the truck move. The clutch disconnects the engine from the transmission. The engine and the brakes work against each other, that why there's a clutch, to allow your truck engine to keep running while you're standing still. I was 20 when I bob-tailed a semi across town, my first time. I don't think the poor thing had any teeth left on the gears. At least I can drive my Ford diesel now upshifting and downnshifting without the clutch. It only took 55 years of driving! Thank you for giving us our wheat and showing us how it's done Kate. Blessings to you.

      That seat adjustment will make all the difference in the world with clutch and brakes. You are starting your braking from a bad location as your body must travel backward just to get to the point where you can apply pressure. As you move backward you must really super-extend your leg to apply pressure to the brakes. Both you and your Dad have incredible patience - obviously born of the love between you. Great job with handling the truck, Kate and getting it down the road.

      I say they are going to have to strap a block to that clutch pedal so she can reach it. Then she’ll be fine. Just be careful it doesn’t fall off and lodge under the brake pedal.

    Kate, may I make a suggestion about situational awareness? I know it is incredibly tempting to want to "live" inside the "cockpit", in the plane and the vehicles, but try to stay "outside" a bit more. The speed isn't going to change very much once you reach your cruise speed unless you add or decrease your foot pressure on the pedal. Just keep scanning the mirrors and look around - enjoy the beautiful view you have in Montana - you are luckier than you can ever imagine with the experience you are building. Enjoy the journey. Love your work, young lady. You make so much look so easy and your vlogging is top-notch! Fantastic!

    Hi Kate,
    I’m a trucking enthusiast from New Zealand and am 35yrs in the trade
    Watching your energy and keen willingness to learn reminds me of the first time I
    Fell in love with the industry.
    Like you, I learnt by my father, just tagging along In the weekends at first then eventually allowed to drive.
    Back then I was age 13yrs and full of questions, a lot like you.
    Ride alongs with dads are somewhat outdated nowadays due to insurance and the fact that some kids would rather play video games or become IT programmers.
    In Australasia, learning to drive heavy machinery is missing the intricate things dads install to ensure us and others around us to be safe before we go for CDL.
    So a huge kudos to your dad for giving the patience and love of the trade and caring for your and our safety.
    With teaching like his,
    he’ll be retired in no time…..
    I’ve subscribed and look forward to following your growth.

    • @KatesAg

      Hello from Montana!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful story and kind words!! I really appreciate the encouragement! It is a big learning curve for me and I am very grateful dad is willing to teach me. Truckers have a huge responsibility that I think a lot of people are not aware of. One of the biggest things I have learned is that it is really important to be courteous to truckers on the road. They have a lot to worry about and we should never try to make their job harder that it is. Turning corners is really different in a semi-truck!!! Thank you again.
