  • In today's video, I drive our semi-truck full of malt barley from our Montana farm to a commercial grain elevator right by the Canadian border. This is a 75-mile drive for me and I had a few challenges. It was very hot and dry and my Dad did a great job coaching me. The trailer is full of barley and we had to get it there before the elevator closed. We had to go up some big, long hills and we got slowed down by road construction. I learned that the semi-truck can't roll back at the railway crossing or bad things can happen. Dad had to help me out a few times and I appreciate that. Our temperature warning came on again. I saw Darcy driving his red semi-truck. I pulled up to the elevator and it was a lot smaller place to dump the grain than I am used to. I had to back the semi-truck up. Barley dust is really itchy!!! I learned a lot today. Driving a semi-truck is not easy and I really have a lot of respect for truckers because they have a hard job!!!!!! I think I even got my Dad to smile at the end!!!! Thank you so much for watching my video!! Remember to like and subscribe to see more of my videos! I really appreciate all your support and encouragement.

    My Story…
    Hello. My name is Kate Stephens, and I am a 17-year-old 4th generation Montana 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.

    If I had a Daughter I would pray that she would be just like you young lady. Your love of and the incredible enthusiasm you exude for your family's Ag operation is commendable! Kate, you and others like you are the future of Farming! I know your Dad can be hard on you sometimes, but I'm sure you recognize that he loves you and that he is mostly just being mindful of your safety and well being. He has such a incredible wealth of diverse knowledge that he knows you must learn and from what I can see, he is not only a great father, but a amazing teacher as well. Take in all the knowledge that he gives you Kate, because most of what he is teaching you cannot be learned in any classroom, and as such it makes the learning experience incredibly valuable. I obviously do not personally know either you or your Father, but I believe I know the type of man that he is... He's the man who values family and traditions above all else. He regards honesty, respect and loyalty as core values. He believes in working hard and smart to achieve his goals. He prides himself on finding the best solution for any given challenge, treating others with trust, respect and honesty and expects the same in return...But most of all, as your Father, he is the man who will always give you exactly what you need to know to be successful in life, so that when he feels that you are ready, you will possess the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence required for you to oversee and manage the successful multi generational Farming operation that his Father before him worked so hard to create, which will one day be yours. I pray that you will always be proud of who you are, where you come from and for the incredible things that you will accomplish in your time Kate and I hope that you will continue documenting your evolution into the exemplary Farmer that I see you becoming! May God always bless you and your family.

    Guys, what's with all the negative comments, we were all there once. Farming is a tough game to be in so shouldn't we be commending her for wanting to carry on the family business, I'd be as proud as punch if she was my little girl. Keep it up Kate, it'll all just click into place one day, wish there was more like you here in the UK x

    Awesome job. A tip from a 30+ year veteran of the trucking industry. Slide your seat farther forward. You shouldn't have to shift your body position to depress the clutch to the floor. If it doesn't go far enough forward for you, put a cushion behind your back.

    Kate, you should sit in that truck with-out starting the motor and slide the seat forward until you can comfortably extend your legs to get full travel on the clutch & brake pedals. Your lower back should remain against the seat-back while doing so. When you get that right, you will feel much more in control & confident.

      Yeah I was thinking the same thing, you're sitting on the edge of the seat and you're stretching too much to press the clutch. Lol you shouldn't have to put your elbow on the backrest to push yourself more forward. As far as the clutch issue, hold the brake and slowly release the clutch, you'll feel the truck start tugging then you release the brake and it'll roll forward, won't roll back on ya. You can get a ticket for the truck rolling back like that

    Your having a hard time with the clutch because your seat needs to go forward some more so your back is against the seat, you have nothing to push against when your pressing the clutch. You probably have the seat as far forward as it would go, It must have been very uncomfortable to drive such a long distance with nothing to rest your back against, so hats off to you

    Just too cute ! The enthusiasm, the honesty, the willingness to let her learning, and her nervous instructor(dad) be on the video. She puts herself in a very vulnerable spot yet she is so honest with us. I so appreciate the honesty!!! Just a note from a medically-retired truck owner-operator; your seat was not adjusted properly for your size. Some time in a less stressful area, such as the farm fields, to/from the yard/shop. And you have enough respect for your father to thank him after a seemingly nerve-wracking driving assignment. Good for you young lady, you are adorable ! Your Dad is a treasure, especially the last couple minutes to “buck you up” with some earned confidence compliments ! That is a good instructor, little nervous, but good !

Listening to your dad brings back some memories for me and some of them aren't all that great. People don't realize farm kids out of necessity have to learn to do things at a very young age. I did like the comments your dad made. He said most people go to school to learn how to drive a truck so I think he was really complimenting you.

    Hi Kate, I lived many years on a kibutz in Israel. there I was working on the frame just like yourself .
    but the only defernite is that in that time we did not have a combine or tractors so comfy with a/c and heating. and there was no computer on the combine or the tractors. today I live in NYS and I was A trucker for many years OTR, with about 10 million mils behind me. I'm retired now and I enjoy seining how advance farming has come, and also that a young lady can do everything I as a man work so hard to do in the old days.

    Greetings 👍, I can give you some advice, the seat is very far away, you should move the seat forward, so that your leg is closer to the clutch, the driving position should be comfortable, to have control of the clutch, the pedals of the trucks They are hard because they are rods, the most modern ones are softer. excellent work, in life you learn like this,

    Driving truck is a learning process so don't feel bad if you don't know something and always remember if you don't know ...... ask questions . Everybody had to start learning at some point . I can say the problems you had with this truck were not your fault . I drove truck for 21 years before becoming disabled and I could see that the seat is back way too far to where your dad even had problems reaching the clutch . I don't know if it's possible but I think it would be a big help to you if that seat could be moved forward . It's extremely hard to clutch when you can't reach the pedals properly . If you can't move the seat maybe you could find something to put behind your back to hold you more forward on the seat . Another thing that would help with clutching is to use a truck that you have to clutch while shifting and just practice going thru the first 3 or 4 gears then stop and repeat . This will help build up the muscles in your left leg and that will also get you better at using the clutch as well as getting you used to shifting when driving other trucks . Hope these suggestions help .

      @davidhuey3201 2 года назад

      Yes, I've noticed in two different videos, one where you're driving this semi ...and the other the Freightliner, your seat has always been too far back for you to easily work the clutch. In the videos, you always are twisting your body just to push in the clutch, you need better control over this reaction. The suggestion in previous comment of maybe a seat cushion back to help keep you more forward on the seat should make working the clutch much easier. I get you're learning a tremendous amount, but having easy control over the clutch & brake is a necessity. (Reminds me when I first learned to drive the old Ford tractor when 8yrs old. I was so light I had to pull against the steering wheel to push the clutch in. Fortunately, I was heavy enough to make the brake work. -hehe) Best wishes for your continued education on driving these heavy rigs. Safe travels.
