Could not stand Yemm. I thought he was an incompetent idiot. I wrongly assumed he had been driving at least a decade but one year? He was a rookie with a big head and even bigger mouth. He was like too many rookie company drivers. They believe themselves the consummate pro based upon zero knowledge and experience. . Company drivers are also insulated because they do not own anything. If they total the vehicle and it’s load they can walk away. The company is on the hook. Yemm would never make it as an owner operator. First there would be no one else to blame for all the equipment damage and he would go broke paying for it. I hope he never gets back in a commercial vehicle. Whichever country he is in will be significantly safer. If you compare him to Lisa Kelly there is no comparison! She was eager to learn and improve both her knowledge and skill set. Yemm did nothing but whine and blame everyone else. Have I mentioned I can’t stand the guy. A horrible example of a professional driver.- he does the industry nothing but harm.
As for his stupid hair cuts I must quote an old friend: : “You should never get out of your era because you will look like a fool”. A 17 year old with a blue Mohawk just looks young and dumb. He’ll grow out of it. A 40 year old with a blue Mohawk looks like a fool! When does that idiot plan to grow up?
You took the words out of my mouth! Does Rick ever stop bitching?!
You Rick are dangerous and stupid. And that is from my retired 46 year veteran truck driver. He drove in everything imaginable. You are the true meaning of a “Cowboy Trucker”! My husband’s brothers all 4 of them are second generation truckers. And everyone of them say you need to quit driving. Your gonna kill someone these days. Only people they’ll be sad about is who you kill.
Kinda ironic to put this up
