improper output:
irb(main):034:0> YAML::dump m
=> "--- !ruby/object:MailTruck \ndriver: Harold\nroute: \n- 12 Corrigan Way\n- 2
3 Antler Ave\n"
irb(main):034:0>

expected output:
  irb(main):033:0> YAML::dump m
  --- !ruby/object:MailTruck
driver: Harold
route:
   - 12 Corrigan Way
   - 23 Antler Ave
irb(main):034:0>

Is this an issue with cmd.exe or irb?
Anyone know how to fix this situation?

neither. irb was showing you the return value of your function call
effectively, p whatever

try:
puts(YAML::dump(m))

Meh. So gruesomely verbose :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Quoting yaml.rb:

    # ryan:: You know how Kernel.p is a really convenient way to dump ruby
    # structures? The only downside is that it's not as legible as
    # YAML.
    #
    # _why:: (listening)
    #
    # ryan:: I know you don't want to urinate all over your users' namespaces.
    # But, on the other hand, convenience of dumping for debugging is,
    # IMO, a big YAML use case.
    #
    # _why:: Go nuts! Have a pony parade!
    #
    # ryan:: Either way, I certainly will have a pony parade.

(Definition of Kernel#y follows.)

Use:
y m
