ADR and tanker driver jobs: what you need and where to find them

Tanker and ADR work is one of the specialist corners of haulage. It covers fuel, chemicals, gases, milk and other liquids, and it usually asks for extra training.

What is ADR?

ADR is the qualification for carrying dangerous goods by road. Drivers carrying hazardous loads need an ADR certificate on top of their HGV licence and Driver CPC. Check GOV.UK for the current rules for the goods you'd carry.

Tanker work

Tanker driving includes fuel deliveries to forecourts, milk collections from farms and bulk liquid haulage. Many fuel and chemical tanker roles need ADR, while food-grade liquids like milk may not.
