For the last year and a half, I’ve been growing my mullet — I call it The Dieselhawk. I’ve wanted to enter this mullet competition for a long time, and I’ve been getting it ready just for that.

My dad is a truck driver. He drives a Freightliner Classic and works really hard to take care of our family. Sometimes I get to ride with him in the truck, and those are my favorite days. We listen to music, talk about life, and roll down the windows while the wind blows through my hair. That’s when I decided I wanted my mullet to be as cool and strong as his truck.

Growing The Dieselhawk hasn’t always been easy. It gets hot in the summer, and people sometimes laugh, but I don’t mind. I kept growing it because it means something to me. It reminds me of the road, of freedom, and of my dad — who’s the hardest worker I know.

Now, I’m finally ready to enter the competition. My Dieselhawk is long, loud, and full of pride. It’s not just about having funny hair — it’s about showing who I am and where I come from.

And just like my dad’s truck, this mullet is built to go the distance.
