Whatever you may have thought a truck driver is 'supposed' to look like is totally outdated. According to Women in Trucking, women now make up around 10 percent of all truck drivers. And at 5 foot 2 and only 125 pounds, this truck driver who goes by the name 'Miss Kodi' shows that anyone with the skill can do the job. And she's only 22 years old. According to a video on her You Tube channel, she hails from Polk County Florida, which is the Lakeland area. One of her videos even shows her driving across the Skyway Bridge in Tampa. It's amazing to see a fellow Floridian doing big things.

According to one of her videos, she says people don't believe that she dives a truck because "I'm pretty but look young. I'm short and I weigh 125. " And as she puts it "All I hear at truck stops “That’s you driving that 18-wheeler?”

Kodi, who referers to herself as “girl trucker” in her bio, documents her truck driving life on Tik Tok. She's amassed over 120 thousand followers and just passed a half million likes. One of her videos has over 5 million views. From Lakeland in Polk County, Florida to traveling the country at the age of 21. And now it looks like she can add "Influencer" to her title. She's marketing beauty products on her Instagram. She's a full time truck driver with a side hustle as an influencer. And killing it.
