Cheaper than a couple of pints in the NAAFI – and might help you land a £60k+ job.
If you’re a UK ex-forces service leaver or an HGV/LGV driver thinking about moving into fuel tanker work, this easy-to-read eBook and paperback shows you how to become a “highly trained and highly paid” petroleum tanker driver – and what you need to do to stay one.
As of 2025, several UK fuel contracts are paying around £60–£65k basic plus overtime and benefits for experienced tanker drivers.
The book is packed with:
Clear explanations of the qualifications you’ll need (LGV/HGV, ADR, PDP, etc.)
The legal and statutory regulations you’ll be working under
Recognised industry best practice for loading, driving and delivering retail petroleum products
Plain-English terminology and links to up-to-date resources so you can go deeper when you need to
You’ll get an honest, insider view of what it really takes to become – and remain – a professional petroleum tanker driver in a high-consequence environment.
Written by Stuart James, a qualified petroleum tanker driver training instructor and assessor with over 20 years’ experience driving and operating fuel tankers for major UK brands.
This isn’t a memoir, it’s a practical training guide for a specialist job.
