Been there, done that! As you say, it’s right to know when to stop. Huge respect for your insights and massive contributions to helping so many people to appreciate the life and challenges of HGV driving. The company has been fortunate to have your services for seven years. Thank you for sharing so well …. very good luck in your next adventures! 🎉😊🎉
What dose HGV stand for? I am a Yank so over here in the states we call things a bit different.. This is the first video I seen of her and she looks like a regional driver going for a few days vs long haul that could be gone week or two...
@@jonathanbair523HGV = Heavy Goods Vehicle aka LGV = Large Goods Vehicle which is anything over 3500Kgs up to 44000Kgs and regulated by electronic tachograph recorders with data that has to be regularly downloaded; the individual driver's electronic tachograph card records the last 28-days data so that the authorities can interrogate it alongside the trucks to ensure that both the driver and truck adhere to all the regulations, no Log Books here! She's been 'tramping' which means she lives in her truck for up to two weeks at at time as our time management regulations are very stringent and mandate a maximum number of 90 driving hours over a rolling fortnight with mandatory rest breaks every 4.5 hours of driving and 6-hours of working time; it can be a bloody nightmare managing the various conflicting regulations!!. Although separate working time regulations mandate actual maximum work days with a minimum of three whole rest days usually away from the truck over that period. There are also a maximum number of working hours accumulated over a longer period of time before you must stop all work for an extended break of several days. HGV/LGV's have mandatory speed limiters fitted restricting speeds to 56mph/90kph which obviously limits range as the maximum daily driving hours are capped at 9-hours (although you can extend this to 10-hours twice a week within the overall total of 90-hours driving time per fortnight) the working time regulations mandate an absolute maximum daily work shift of 15-hours. Distances within the UK are much smaller than the USA although average speeds are also lower due to significant traffic congestion. For example today's video shows Jemma travelling along one of the main arterial Motorways (Freeways) North -South within the UK which took her 5.5 hours to cover approximately 185-miles, so an average speed of only 34mph!!! She's driving the largest HGV/LGV Artic (Semi) truck normally permissible on UK roads without dedicated escorts and exemption permits for over size loads. This is only a brief overview and the various regulations have too many nuances to detail here but hope it answers your query satisfactorily!!!
Over the last few days I have watched a load of your videos. As a retired traffic cop I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your professionalism 🫡. Keep up the good work. Your channel highlights everything that is good about the drivers here in the UK and our haulage industry. All the best for your next job.
well Jemma I am a 76 years old great grandad and I would just like to say you have given me many great hours of you trucking and your chats I wish you all the best for you and your family regards Billy.
Jemma. You have been an inspiration to everybody on how to do things properly and correct. I am also a bulk truck driver in New Zealand. Good luck on whatever you do and look forward to seeing what happens in the future.
You cannot keep a secret from workmates, even as a trucker! Congratulations on taking the plunge Jemma and best of luck with your future. I am sure it will get better for you. Your vlogs have been an insight to the life of a female trucker and are much appreciated by many.
I handed my notice in last month after 21 years, it's a weired feeling, but agree when you say you know when it's the right time, best of luck Gemma. I've really enjoyed seeing your vids and have so much appreciation for HGV drivers. Thanx
One last comment Jemma which I hope everyone “clicks liked to show how much we’ve liked your videos “- please don’t give up on being a Driver at BRIDGWATER CARNIVAL CIRCUIT it’s your PASSION AND ITS YOU ALL OVER!!! 🎉😢Chrs Malc uk 🇬🇧
As a class 1 driver myself of nearly 40 years, this video makes the whole driving job look pretty straightforward, all the dreamers will be falling over themselves for a luckybag license , i retire in 12 months god i can't wait to get out of it.
Oh Jemma, that was a surprise and we enjoy your video diaries so-much. We do hope and wish you the very best for whichever way your journey takes you, but maybe you may form new content that we can continue to enjoy from you.❤
Hi Jemma I just want to wish you the very best of luck in the future and for your next venture you pursue . You are an inspiration to everyone and your work ethic and attention to detail are a credit to you. Thank you for all the v/logs I hope it's not the end of them. Good health and happiness to you and your family Jemma x From your No 1 Irish fan Chris.
Hope you're going to carry on with your videos/vlogs Jemma, I look forward to having Saturdays breakfast watching your tales of the road. Best wishes for your next venture. Bless you 🙏🙏
Came as a shock Jemma, you seem so cheerful in your videos, definitely have a passion for your job, you have to do what’s right for you and go onto bigger and better things, always keep a look out for your truck when I’m on the road as a coach driver. I’m sure it was your truck on the hard shoulder of the m5 in the week! All the best for the future and hopefully more videos to come
Good luck with whatever life presents you with… looking forward to seeing you in your new job and new truck. After following you for years I managed to see you on the road at the roundabout at Podimore… it made my day so much I tooted you . All the best Gemma🎉🍾
Jemma I would like to wish you the very best of luck. You have a skill set that is second to none. You keep your Scania like new and get the job done. Wains Transport will miss you.
Hi Jemma sorry that you are leaving, your videos have taught me a lot about this job and it’s hard! Dealing with the traffic, the paperwork and the rules on driving hours etc, not to mention the days away from home would drive me crazy. You are so hardworking and conscientious any future employer will be lucky to have you. All the best in your new venture. Whatever it is you will smash it 😀

I gave it up last October but was in the making for 5yrs. I won't be renewing the CPC, it's a bad job, the pay is too low for the responsibility and for what's expected 🖕. I now own a van and earn the same money, some weeks more and iv a better work/life balance.
Hi Jemma I’m now disabled and tend to stay away from hgv blogs due to my disability and can no longer drive hgv’s but your one of very few I can watch and get good memories, keep up the excellent content
I wish you all the best for the future, what a loss to your present employers. You are a credit to your profession and must have inspired so many people. Cheers, Poth.
Hi from France ,i"m an Aussie who lives and works in France, i drive a petrol tanker.I've been following you for a while,i'm quite surprised actually but transport does eat up your life,you're a pretty good operater,you seem pretty bright,no idea what you plan for the future but you'll kill it.
Cat and other animal scarers that work. I used a 'water animal scarers for gardens' from Amazon. I used it and all animals no longer used my lawn or garden. The one I bought was battery powered and adjustable to ensure only the area I wanted to detect from caused the thing to trigger, and separately the sprayed area could also be set to only cover the areas I wanted the water to hit. It also waters the garden very well.
Hi Jemma, this is a big surprise, but I'm sure you know better than anybody about what your situation is.I just hope you keep us posted and your vlogs continue in some shape or form as you've become apart of my regular viewing.As a long retired manager of a contract trucker here in Canada I have nothing but admiration for your skills and diligence as an operator.I'm sure because of your skills your attitude ,any operator would give you a job at the drop of a hat.So good luck Jemma in whatever you do I'm sure you'll be huge success. Take special care coz your'e a very special lady.
Ow Jemma can’t believe u have handed in ur notice. What ever ur next job is. It’s to do with trucking again. Will miss u and ur videos, i wish u all the best jemma😢
Hey Jems, another Saturday morning vlog, another Saturday morning coffee. Please tell me it won’t be the last 😢😢. Sorry to hear your news however I fully understand your decision. You know when the right time is to move on. All the best and take care lass, I hope we see you again soon. Onwards and upwards 💪🏴👍💯🫡
Hi Jemma, I've only been a subscriber for the last couple of months as your channel popped-up on my home page thanks to UA-cam's algorithm. As a recently retired trucker I've thoroughly enjoyed your candid videos about the realities of a trucker's life and wish you every success in the future whatever that means for you, please stay safe. Best wishes Paul.
As a former employer myself, now long retired, I am very surprised that your employer accepted your notice to quit considering you have clearly shown in your podcasts what a loyal and conscientious employee looks like, which is rare in today's society. Also your employer got tens of thousands of free advertising on your channel which must have yielded a considerable return for them. Good luck in your new employment Jemma. ☘️☘️
@@mfx1as she stated it’s not the first time the notice has been handed in I think they would’ve accepted she wants to move on ( hopefully owner operator)🤞
Hi Jemma, I wish you all the best for the future, you've got to do what's best for you. It's been great watching your trucking vlogs, you're such a hard worker and Wain's have been lucky to have you and anyone else will be lucky to have you. I hope you can find another job soon. Take care, lovely lady and I hope you continue putting out videos of your future adventures. Lots of love, our Queen of the road x
We had the same problem. We fixed it by laying some chicken wire over the flower bed 50mm above the level of the soil. The cats can't sit on it and flowers will grow through it.
Hi lass. I use netting stretched tight to deter cats, it works well as long as the edges are well pinned. Make sure it is 6inches above soil. Winter I use cheap landscape material as it cuts off weeds. Great video
Hi Jemma. Strong curry powder sprinkled on soil is a great deterrent for cats. First time I used it on my garden, I didn't have much hope, having tried loads of things, but after seeing a cat walk across it , lick its paws and leap 5 feet in the air , run off and never come back , I recommend . Replace after rain for a few days .
I too would say something like curry powder or pepper Mike, as they usually sniff the ground where they are going to tip their load, so anything that might make them sneeze could deter them.
Very nice video edit. that touch of the map on 13:13 that follow to a self-moving camera right after on 13:23 shows how skilled you are as a YT videomaker, as well. We can't stop learning from you. Legend!
Good Morning Jemma As you say you know when the time is right to head for pastures new. Been there done that and even ended back where I started before I retired some years after a complete career change from the Transport Industry. My experience there greatly helped me with the job that I retired from.Kind Regards Crawford
My repellant for wild rabbits and sheep that also deters dogs pooing on my driveway is a strong dilution of cheap fabric conditioner😊 . Doesn't harm the grass etc and smells ok. Don't know if it works on cats but worth a try. Time to get your house sorted and have a break then hopefully you will be rested and happier . keep smiling😊
I worked on tugs for nearly 30 years, unique job so many highs and lows,was time to go when it started effecting my health,been gone 5 yrs nearly now,chilled and relaxed🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Hi Gemma , I hope your video don't end your such a inspiration to many people in the industry what ever your going to do wish you all the best for the future
Hi Jemma, If you get 2 or 3 empty 2 litre bottles like club orange or 7 up,take all the paper off them and fill them with water right to the top.Throw them willy nilly around your garden.This helps to deter cats,as they see their reflection in the bottle ,and as it's larger it scares them pretty well. Good luck with your next venture,love your vids!!
I AGREE 100%, LOVE YOUR VIDS , WORK ETHIC AND WISDOM. I have always had a big respect fort ruckies and give them the room they need BUT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A NEW AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION OF HOW MUCH OUR LIVES AS THE GENERAL POPULATION DEPEND ON THEM. THANK YOU AGAIN AND GOOD LUCK.
Best of luck in your new journey Jemma. I hope you're able to continue trucking and making videos. I have enjoyed each and every one of them. If it's a new career altogether, the very best of luck to you. :)
I'm glad you've got out. Bulk work is hard and dirty graft. They'll never pay enough for all the messing about. I hope your new gig is easier. Guessing it might be fridges? Good luck!!
Depending on what the work is with the refer.... It's not all fun and games, especially with hanging meat. And if you have a night out with the refer running, be prepared to be not very popular with other driver's trying to sleep.
@@nigelbevan8449 I've had a few arguments about running the fridge all night. Although it's stressful, it wasn't a daily occurrence. I parked facing inwards to keep the noise down to a minimum when ever possible. I never did hanging meat, I don't think I missed anything fun there. My point is, fridges are much much cleaner than bulkers. Gemma's worked so hard on this job and I hope she has something easier lined up.
I've got every admiration for you. Gemma, good luck with whatever you do. I'm sure a new employer will be really happy to have you ( Jemma) sending my blessings to you
Bloody Hell Jem. So sad to hear you’re leaving. My favourite lady trucker. What am I going to do without you?.You are an inspiration. I just hope you stay in trucking and continue vloging. All it leaves is for me to wish you and Ryan all the very best in whatever you do. Knowing you you’ve probably got something lined up. You love the trucking world to much to leave all together. Bye bye. Mick😪
Hi Jemma, Its sad to see you giving up your job, you're such a good lorry driver, You'll miss it for a while, but you'll be successful in what ever you do, good luck, Jemma, and bye for now ❤️
Aw that is a big shame Gemma leaving your job will so miss your videos hope you soon get the house finished still look on the bright side carnival is getting closer wishing you all the best for the future ❤xx
To keep cats, and dogs off, try a detox and water mix, just sprinkle around every week or so, they will learn a new habit and place, they don’t like the smell.
Best wishes Jemma and thank you for you brilliant vlogs sharing your driving life on youtube. Awesome driving 🚚. Hopefully we will see you again on youtube.👍👍👍
All the best in your new job Jemma, whatever your doing. Hopefully another hgv job that allows you to film. A change is as good as a rest. Bulk tipping is a tough job, my dad does the same work as you, its such an important job, but can be very full on and tiring. Hopefully you can spend some more time with your family.
There was lots that got me down when I was driving trucks ..... but the food and facilities for drivers were always beyond awful. Love the video ...... best of luck with your future endeavours.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're leaving. I've learned so much about the life of a truck driver from watching your videos. I wish you all the very best in whatever you are moving onto now, and I'm surtain you will succeed in whatever you do. Stay safe, and best wishes.
So sorry to hear you're leaving hope you keep going with trucking vlogs. You're certainly an inspiration so positive and so much great advice. Looking forward to your next video 👍👍👍
Cat poo- spray deep heat onto some used (dry ish) tea bags and place near where the cat pooes.- they hate the smell and it works, it’s also safe. Some say lion poo works (they sell at the zoo for this reason)
What a great loss to Wain's ,they should do all they can to keep you, good driver's are still hard to come by , Royal Mail Exeter are currently recruiting for trucking, I did it for 21 years good clean work, easy and good money and many benefits, normally a few women driver's around too ,it would be so easy for you and I can give you a contact number . Best wishes for the future and good luck in whatever you decide to do, Hope to see you again soon .
Well thank you for all you have done I have really enjoyed your videos and you adventures I wish you all the very best for you new role what ever you do.
Jemma this is BAD for me and the many avid viewers you have built a following with. i hope the road ahead for you will be successful and rewarding. your work ethos is inspiring and impeccable. i hope that 'we' can share with you tales of your journeys in the near future. Wains will DEFINITELY MISS YOU! XXX
I’m sorry to hear that you are leaving. I enjoyed watching your day in the life Vlogs. I do hope that you continue to do them. All the best for the future Jemma.🩷
Sorry to hear your moving on but hope to see what’s next. As for your cat problem I can highly recommend a Rottweiler or Mastiff, I have both and have no problems with cats in my yard (garden in your country)
All the best for you and i'm really curious what your next steps will be and if we will be a part of it. And if not - it's ok :) Thanks for your time and effort so far
For your garden put fishing line along the top of the fence. And get pepper spray from a farm shop to put in the garden the cats hate the agricultural stuff
I had the same problem with cat's pooping on my lawn and like you i had tried everything and the one thing that 100% worked for me was curry powder. You can buy big 1kg bag's for every cheap money and get the hottest one you can find and just spread it all over the area that it's pooping on. It just work's a treat. XX
Enjoyed all your videos. I'd been at a company for 10 years,then decided to move on so glad I did. Just like you got to that point were a change was definitely needed Good luck
Hope we get to see you in whatever you do next. Wains don't seem a bad employer but the job/hours/physical work can take its toll and you're more than capable of doing something better - hope you're not a loss to the trucking industry. Two weeks notice period sounds a bit short but maybe that's the industry norm.
Oh no! Your travels and commentary lighten my day and I'm always checking for the next instalment. I want to say a huge thank you for taking the time to share them with us all, but you're right, you know when it's time to move on. I wish you all the best for the future and will keep an eye on your channel for any news.
Brilliant Jemma. I thought last Christmas that things weren't going well, and when you went to Devon truck show and they all left you. I'm sure you won't take long to find another company, you are well known, and an excellent driver. If I had a truck company you would be top of my list. I will miss your videos 😢. Thanks so much Jemma take care of yourself, best wishes. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤸👍
Looking forward to seeing what you get up to in the future Jem! I'm sure the coffee grounds will stop the cats crapping in your garden, it's what we use after trying pretty much everything else, and it's good for the soil. We also use it to break down stuff in the compost bins, our own compost is now better than anything we've bought previously.
Been there, done that! As you say, it’s right to know when to stop. Huge respect for your insights and massive contributions to helping so many people to appreciate the life and challenges of HGV driving.

It's been great watching your trucking vlogs, you're such a hard worker and Wain's have been lucky to have you and anyone else will be lucky to have you. I hope you can find another job soon. Take care, lovely lady and I hope you continue putting out videos of your future adventures. Lots of love, our Queen of the road x
Yes I'm
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
We had the same problem. We fixed it by laying some chicken wire over the flower bed 50mm above the level of the soil. The cats can't sit on it and flowers will grow through it.

Hi lass. I use netting stretched tight to deter cats, it works well as long as the edges are well pinned. Make sure it is 6inches above soil. Winter I use cheap landscape material as it cuts off weeds. Great video
Hi Jemma. Strong curry powder sprinkled on soil is a great deterrent for cats. First time I used it on my garden, I didn't have much hope, having tried loads of things, but after seeing a cat walk across it , lick its paws and leap 5 feet in the air , run off and never come back , I recommend .
Replace after rain for a few days .
I too would say something like curry powder or pepper Mike, as they usually sniff the ground where they are going to tip their load, so anything that might make them sneeze could deter them.
pepper is another one as it gets up their nose. or you ccould just get your cat

Now I know why I don't drive truck again. You couldn't pay me enough to do what you have just done. That is mindblowing!
You are a good driver with good attention to detail. You'll do well in whatever you choose to do!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@tommyknockers5492 She is an incredible driver & the amount of miles she does is incredible with such feminine beauty.
Very nice video edit. that touch of the map on 13:13 that follow to a self-moving camera right after on 13:23 shows how skilled you are as a YT videomaker, as well. We can't stop learning from you. Legend!
Good Morning Jemma As you say you know when the time is right to head for pastures new. Been there done that and even ended back where I started before I retired some years after a complete career change from the Transport Industry. My experience there greatly helped me with the job that I retired from.Kind Regards Crawford
Feeling your sadness, but it’s only temporary. You’ll be successful at whatever you decide to do. God bless.
You can buy a water sprayer that fixes to your hose pipe and it has a movement sensor on it, best way to keep cats off imo.
My repellant for wild rabbits and sheep that also deters dogs pooing on my driveway is a strong dilution of cheap fabric conditioner😊 . Doesn't harm the grass etc and smells ok. Don't know if it works on cats but worth a try.
Time to get your house sorted and have a break then hopefully you will be rested and happier . keep smiling😊
Sorry you're leaving, love your videos , yes we all know sometimes when it's the right time to go ❤️🥰
I worked on tugs for nearly 30 years, unique job so many highs and lows,was time to go when it started effecting my health,been gone 5 yrs nearly now,chilled and relaxed🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Hi Gemma , I hope your video don't end your such a inspiration to many people in the industry what ever your going to do wish you all the best for the future
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Hi jemma, i wish you all the luck in the future. You have been a real pleasure to watch, and your attention to detail is brilliance.
A freshly dug garden is irresistible to cats.
All the best for your future employment.

Hi Jemma,
If you get 2 or 3 empty 2 litre bottles like club orange or 7 up,take all the paper off them and fill them with water right to the top.Throw them willy nilly around your garden.This helps to deter cats,as they see their reflection in the bottle ,and as it's larger it scares them pretty well.
Good luck with your next venture,love your vids!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope this is not your last video as you are one of the best for videos on this channel
I AGREE 100%, LOVE YOUR VIDS , WORK ETHIC AND WISDOM.
I have always had a big respect fort ruckies and give them the room they need BUT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A NEW AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION OF HOW MUCH OUR LIVES AS THE GENERAL POPULATION DEPEND ON THEM.
THANK YOU AGAIN AND GOOD LUCK.
Best of luck in your new journey Jemma. I hope you're able to continue trucking and making videos. I have enjoyed each and every one of them. If it's a new career altogether, the very best of luck to you. :)
I'm glad you've got out. Bulk work is hard and dirty graft. They'll never pay enough for all the messing about. I hope your new gig is easier. Guessing it might be fridges?
Good luck!!
Depending on what the work is with the refer.... It's not all fun and games, especially with hanging meat. And if you have a night out with the refer running, be prepared to be not very popular with other driver's trying to sleep.
@@nigelbevan8449 I've had a few arguments about running the fridge all night. Although it's stressful, it wasn't a daily occurrence. I parked facing inwards to keep the noise down to a minimum when ever possible. I never did hanging meat, I don't think I missed anything fun there. My point is, fridges are much much cleaner than bulkers. Gemma's worked so hard on this job and I hope she has something easier lined up.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
If she’s got any sense it won’t be has an owner driver she’ll have no time for her family else
The start of an exciting new chapter in your life Jemma, hope all goes extremely well! Live long and prosper! 🖖🏻
You where the last person I would expect to hand your notice in you always seem happy and positive in your job
you can get water sprinklers with PIR sensor so it sprays cats!!
I've got every admiration for you. Gemma, good luck with whatever you do. I'm sure a new employer will be really happy to have you ( Jemma) sending my blessings to you
Bloody Hell Jem. So sad to hear you’re leaving. My favourite lady trucker. What am I going to do without you?.You are an inspiration. I just hope you stay in trucking and continue vloging. All it leaves is for me to wish you and Ryan all the very best in whatever you do. Knowing you you’ve probably got something lined up. You love the trucking world to much to leave all together. Bye bye. Mick😪
Beautiful lady working hard. Respect and have a blessed future.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Hi Jemma,
Its sad to see you giving up your job, you're such a good lorry driver,
You'll miss it for a while, but you'll be successful in what ever you do, good luck, Jemma, and bye for now ❤️
All the best for the future in whatever you do next, you were the first trucking video I watched and got hooked on more 😃
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Aw that is a big shame Gemma leaving your job will so miss your videos hope you soon get the house finished still look on the bright side carnival is getting closer wishing you all the best for the future ❤xx
Hello Jemma with a J. Hope you carry on with your videos they are amazing. It’s good to see women in traditionally a man’s world.
To keep cats, and dogs off, try a detox and water mix, just sprinkle around every week or so, they will learn a new habit and place, they don’t like the smell.
detox?
Best wishes Jemma and thank you for you brilliant vlogs sharing your driving life on youtube. Awesome driving 🚚. Hopefully we will see you again on youtube.👍👍👍
All the best in your new job Jemma, whatever your doing. Hopefully another hgv job that allows you to film. A change is as good as a rest. Bulk tipping is a tough job, my dad does the same work as you, its such an important job, but can be very full on and tiring. Hopefully you can spend some more time with your family.
What a shock!
Such cheerful and optimistic outlook.
to suddenly upstake your job.
You will be missed.
Good luck in your next chapter Jemma hope it all works out for you and please keep the vlogs coming 🙏🤞🤞
There was lots that got me down when I was driving trucks ..... but the food and facilities for drivers were always beyond awful.
Love the video ...... best of luck with your future endeavours.
Good luck Gemma, very brave to leave somewhere you have been for a long time. Please don’t do what trucker Tim has done.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're leaving. I've learned so much about the life of a truck driver from watching your videos. I wish you all the very best in whatever you are moving onto now, and I'm surtain you will succeed in whatever you do. Stay safe, and best wishes.
I bet your phone is going crazy with "Jemma; come and drive with us" 🤗
So sorry to hear you're leaving hope you keep going with trucking vlogs. You're certainly an inspiration so positive and so much great advice. Looking forward to your next video 👍👍👍
I hope it’s not the end of your videos Jemma, that would be a shame ❤
Cat poo- spray deep heat onto some used (dry ish) tea bags and place near where the cat pooes.- they hate the smell and it works, it’s also safe. Some say lion poo works (they sell at the zoo for this reason)
What a great loss to Wain's ,they should do all they can to keep you, good driver's are still hard to come by , Royal Mail Exeter are currently recruiting for trucking, I did it for 21 years good clean work, easy and good money and many benefits, normally a few women driver's around too ,it would be so easy for you and I can give you a contact number .
Best wishes for the future and good luck in whatever you decide to do, Hope to see you again soon .
Well thank you for all you have done I have really enjoyed your videos and you adventures I wish you all the very best for you new role what ever you do.
Jemma this is BAD for me and the many avid viewers you have built a following with. i hope the road ahead for you will be successful and rewarding. your work ethos is inspiring and impeccable. i hope that 'we' can share with you tales of your journeys in the near future. Wains will DEFINITELY MISS YOU! XXX
Best wishes for your move, Gemma. Hope you'll keep your channel going. Bless you.
Best of luck in your new venture jemma you are a inspiration to all up an coming female truckers hope your still staying with trucks
Oh, the massive sigh as you parked up after being in traffic. It was definitely a FML breath out.
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I’m sorry to hear that you are leaving. I enjoyed watching your day in the life Vlogs. I do hope that you continue to do them. All the best for the future Jemma.🩷
Sorry to hear your moving on but hope to see what’s next. As for your cat problem I can highly recommend a Rottweiler or Mastiff, I have both and have no problems with cats in my yard (garden in your country)
I use bird netting on top of the dirt to stop cats pooping. They don't like the feeling under their feet. It's always worked foe me 👍
All the best for you and i'm really curious what your next steps will be and if we will be a part of it. And if not - it's ok :) Thanks for your time and effort so far
Good luck Jemma in what ever the future holds for you. You'll be brilliant at what ever you do next. Stay safe and healthy and please keep us updated.
Good luck with your next adventure, brambles cut into three inch lengths and scattered across the garden !
For your garden put fishing line along the top of the fence. And get pepper spray from a farm shop to put in the garden the cats hate the agricultural stuff
Good luck in whatever you do next. White vinegar works for repelling cats, we use Sainsbury’s basic white vinegar.
Problem with vinegar is that it’ll kill whatever is trying to grow. It’s used widely as an organic weed killer
You will be an asset to whoever you work for. Proper work ethic ..Good luck ,will miss your videos
I had the same problem with cat's pooping on my lawn and like you i had tried everything and the one thing that 100% worked for me was curry powder. You can buy big 1kg bag's for every cheap money and get the hottest one you can find and just spread it all over the area that it's pooping on. It just work's a treat. XX
Good luck Jemma with whatever you do and thank for the great videos, hope to see you again soon..
Enjoyed all your videos. I'd been at a company for 10 years,then decided to move on so glad I did. Just like you got to that point were a change was definitely needed
Good luck
Going to miss you Jem. Good Luck for the future in whatever you do x
Hope we get to see you in whatever you do next. Wains don't seem a bad employer but the job/hours/physical work can take its toll and you're more than capable of doing something better - hope you're not a loss to the trucking industry. Two weeks notice period sounds a bit short but maybe that's the industry norm.
Best of luck Jemma what ever you do😊life is too short 😊 life is for living 😊
Oh no! Your travels and commentary lighten my day and I'm always checking for the next instalment. I want to say a huge thank you for taking the time to share them with us all, but you're right, you know when it's time to move on. I wish you all the best for the future and will keep an eye on your channel for any news.
Brilliant Jemma.
I thought last Christmas that things weren't going well, and when you went to Devon truck show and they all left you.
I'm sure you won't take long to find another company, you are well known, and an excellent driver.
If I had a truck company you would be top of my list.
I will miss your videos 😢.
Thanks so much Jemma take care of yourself, best wishes.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤸👍
Unfortunately that's the way with some haulage companies... The more you do for them and go the extra mile, the more they take the c--t out of you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looking forward to seeing what you get up to in the future Jem! I'm sure the coffee grounds will stop the cats crapping in your garden, it's what we use after trying pretty much everything else, and it's good for the soil. We also use it to break down stuff in the compost bins, our own compost is now better than anything we've bought previously.
