Company: Oxalis
Role: Fuel tanker driver
Diana is delivering fuel across southeast England, and sometimes further away. It’s highly skilled job where you have to focus and stay calm. We get trained how to load and discharge fuel tanker.
Diana’s job involve induction in different fuel terminals what mean she can load in any nearest depot and you don’t have to run an empty truck.
Diana is based at the Hemel Hempstead terminal but she has also completed induction training to be able to enter and load her vehicle with fuel at other terminals in the South East, so if she has done a delivery on the other side of London, instead of wasting time driving back to Hemel with to get another load to deliver, she could be asked to re-load at a different, closer terminal to get more deliveries competed within her shift
You need a driving licence in Class 1 (articulated vehicle) or Class 2 (rigid vehicle) and CPC. To drive fuel tankers, you need another qualification as ADR in class 3 – flammable, PDP
Since Diana was young, she was in transport industry, and she always wanted to drive. Diana came to UK to fulfil her dream and she has done all her driving licences.
“I used to drive around the Heathrow airport where I saw plenty fuel tankers driving around…. And I just told myself that one day I will be driving tankers too.”
Diana always wanted to do some very important job, and delivering fuel is very important because without fuel everything would become standstill. The best thing about her role is that Hoyer gave her the opportunity to fulfil her dream of doing a very important job. She has never felt happier in workplace.
