A Girl and Her Big Rig!
#farminglife #farmlife #farmtok
Before the sun peeks over the horizon and the roosters find their voice, there’s one girl already wide awake — boots on, hair braided, coffee in hand, ready to take on the day. Her name’s Kaylee, and she’s not your average farm girl. While most people her age might dream of big cities or corporate jobs, Kaylee’s heart belongs to diesel engines, open fields, and the sweet hum of a well-tuned semi.
She grew up in the cab of her father’s rig — a roaring Peterbilt that hauled grain across the Midwest. While other kids had dolls and video games, Kaylee had mini wrenches, toy tractors, and a deep-seated love for horsepower. Her dad always said, “You don’t need to be big to drive big. You just need heart.” And she had plenty of it.
Now 22, Kaylee runs her own operation on her family’s 800-acre farm in Iowa. Corn, soybeans, a few cattle — but the real pride of her farm is her gleaming Kenworth W900. It’s not just a truck; it’s her partner in every harvest, her mobile office, and sometimes, when needed, her therapist. The chrome shines like a mirror. The inside smells faintly of diesel, leather, and fresh-cut hay. And the speakers? They pump out everything from Miranda Lambert to Johnny Cash, depending on the mood and the job.
Kaylee’s days are long, starting before sunrise and ending only when the last load is delivered. She knows her fields like the back of her hand — which sections need more nitrogen, which ditches flood first, and where to catch the best sunsets while idling in the cab. When harvest season rolls around, she becomes a machine herself: combining during the day, hauling loads at night, and fueling everything — from the rigs to her dreams — with grit and grace.
Some folks underestimate her when she rolls up at the co-op or grain elevator. “You driving that big thing?” they’ll ask with a raised brow. She just smiles, nods, and shifts into gear like it’s second nature. Let ‘em talk. She knows her worth. She backs that trailer into tight spots smoother than most men twice her age — no ego, just skill.
Social media found her by accident. One day, she posted a video of her climbing into her rig, boots dusty, ponytail swinging, and lip-syncing to “She’s Country.” The video went viral overnight. Now, her #farmtok has nearly half a million followers, mostly people who are either in awe of her lifestyle or inspired by her independence. Still, she stays humble. “If I can show one girl that she belongs behind the wheel of a rig, or on a tractor, or running her own farm, then I’ve done something right,” she says.
Kaylee’s story isn’t about proving people wrong. It’s about living what feels right — the open road, the hum of harvest, and a life tethered to the land. She isn’t just a girl with a big rig. She’s a farmer, a hauler, a dreamer, and a force to be reckoned with.
Because out here, under the wide sky, with diesel smoke trailing behind and acres of promise ahead, there’s nothing small about being a girl on the farm.
