hello welcome to Kate's Ag today is a super exciting day because it's my first time ever
driving this semi truck i know i get to drive it it's awesome my dad didn't think i would
be strong enough to push the clutch in but i tried it and i am strong enough so i get to go
driving this huge huge huge semi truck it's a freightliner and i'm absolutely ecstatic about
it i'm so excited and it's going to be so fun so if you've watched my prior videos i drove
tandem truck for the first time and then i got a second lesson on the tandem truck and
now i'm driving this big freightliner semi truck so i'm extremely excited about this
and i hope you enjoy it as much as i do because it's just amazing and it's going
to be incredible so make sure to like this video and subscribe to see more awesome videos like this

right now darcy is moving his truck because it's filled up right there the greenback is what augurs
the wheat up to the semi-truck from the grain bin we use our massey ferguson tractor for that

i chant all the way pull that thing down there into the lower hand this good note just
is it blinking or not in that screen on this screen no is it locked in it says two yeah
easy out easy when it and then just hold it when it starts to move right now pull it
you got your you got a loaded semi you gotta let it move okay push it in start the clutch
start that thing um put this back in neutral start that deal which turn the key off and on
can you get it all the way to the floor you sure yep okay get it in
put it in d and then slowly let it out no wait till it it feels like it went in is it blinking
or not not blinking okay ease it out to where it starts to move and they just hold it there
now the truck moves a little bit put your other foot on the toilet a little bit
hold it get ready hold it hold it okay now i want you to go forward just straight over
there and steer a little bit that way okay so i'm stepping on the gas a little bit
look in your mirror see where your trailer is at okay take a right hard right
yes where's my rpms at it's on the left you don't do anything with them anyway
steer this way now don't run over that first hole but we're gonna have to go in a little bit
and now you have to take your corners wide you gotta look to make sure there's nobody coming
no one coming okay now start here
go straight like about here start left slow a soft turn here look at your trailer or it's tracking so
you don't run your trailer in the ditch look down the road see if anybody's coming no one's coming
i'll go to the far side of the road with this truck drive all the way over there
you gotta make sure nobody's coming in either yeah stay on this side turn back
look in your mirror to see where your trailer were i'll go back over here
get on the gas and let this thing go through the gears and lock it in at about 60. this
is your cruise control here okay when we're ready we'll set it here wow this is awesome
wow this is exciting the gas pedal on this one's a little bit different they're all different every
even things that are made the same are different but they're just different they're their own car
now it says turn signal on again
oh there we go
yeah slow down earlier and how do you get it back in here you tap on the gas where is
does it show what gear i'm in it's green oh nine yeah the wheat's looking pretty good eight gear
okay in this kind of truck cake cause you can't see anything coming you gotta
start looking in the road we're in seven starts going that way break break break
clear that way clear that way okay now we're gonna take this corner soft and go into the other
keep an eye on your trailer in the mirror when you go around the corner so you know where you were
get going okay now this one you got to be a little smarter you got to stay right until
i tell you and then go left to go to the top left you know what i mean break
yeah break okay don't start this turn again break break break laugh
now go to the far end into the blue sign when
right yes drive over here make sure
i see a semi coming
safety is a big thing yeah
don't drive on it
oh my gosh that's darcy how cool
high coolant temp it said warning high coolant tim check engine it has a check engine light
um where can i tell that at it's a second thing 230
is this the exit yes it is okay we want to be about 45
nobody's coming this way stay to the right flow down so look left again because you got
it good left okay tap it back into throttle and stop start accelerating check from here to your
trailer drive okay you're driving right into your lane always extend your your quarter shot
got your length on oh that's it's still high coolant it's at about 200 right now
two vehicles behind us
yeah okay so don't speed up anymore we gotta take a look down here
because we might have somebody coming up on top okay let it run drop it back into here
it's in here stay right and then start going back when i tell you go down
drive to the side and then go to the far edge of the road and turn turn turn
so check your mirror on your trailer okay now we just drive on down to the other side well
we made it through that yeah the next one's hard to get my back on that we don't have our engine
light anymore but we had um so i think oh yeah oh wait maybe we still do maybe i just can't see it
no it's it's the high quality warning it's not that oh they've got the rail car
okay get over here
over here quick and stay on that side go down go down stay on that side
keep driving straight
okay we just made it to united grain where we're going to unload our semi kick it back in here
okay pull the cap up by that length and then just
let the clutch out yeah if it you want to check to see if you've got nature okay
lock your uh pull the yellow knob to pull the red no it's already out okay
okay we're not speeding into this viewpoint okay now get centered on that on that scale
and then just let the truck idle and when they give you a red light it's clutch
clutch neutral clutch neutral brake got it don't step on the gas just let it idle in here
okay when you get the light push in the clutch now coast coast coast coast coast
coast coast coast coast coast goes what's up okay neutral neutral get out of the clutch
now take your little card out and go scan it so you don't have to pull the truck out hello
mark stevens farm
thank you
yes to what it said on the day yeah i think
i'll go and try one more time yes yes the above looks correct
okay thank you oh thank you yeah i talked to him he says come in okay clutch it's not on
the break easy now when it starts nope it didn't move okay push it back in is it blinking or not
yeah it's blinking we'll hold it when it starts to jump and move a little bit
yeah now go straight out get on the gas if you want to go long because you get a long truck here
easy put your foot up against the side of that so you're not doing that just go straight keep going
go along over here so your truck gets straightened out the trailer gets straightened out again
okay and when we get the truck in that thing just
keep going he didn't give you the waves
he's waving to keep going i'm just got the clutch on what's up neutral
we just made and that was kind of scary because it's crazy this is my first ever time driving such
a big semi truck it is insane and i'm so excited and so thankful that my dad took the time to help
teach me this it's just incredible actually did a video of this whole elevator if you want to see
that and it's called how farmers make money and it basically gives a tour of this whole elevator
it's a really big one and pretty cool so you'll definitely have to check that out if you want to
learn about where we're selling our grain up but the drive up here actually i was quite surprised
it was kind of similar to driving the tandem truck and everyone here is always so nice so that makes
it so fun to come and i'm just absolutely ecstatic i got to scan the card and everything and i guess
now i'm a true truck driver right because i can now drive semi truck and it's my first ever lesson
so i hopefully many more to come in this truck and also probably the tandem truck as well but i'm
just absolutely thrilled it is amazing oh can you believe it i'm driving a semi truck a big one too
our semi truck is a freightliner and it's this big black one that has the double bunk so it's really
big but it's so fun and i'm just having the best time ever right now i'm in the pit and basically
the pit is this big kind of great and your semi opens from two parts on the bottom i'll see
my dad's getting out there and getting some footage i have to stay in here but he'll get
you some footage with the other camera to show you kind of how the semi dumps i i gotta give
