Well done DieselDave, really good informative thread on a topic I’ve been debating myself recently.
Is there a large demand out there for drivers with an ADR qualification? I suppose the easiest way to tell is to look at jobs advertised but I don’t live in an area near any large refineries etc or at least I think I do so I wouldn’t expect to see many ADR jobs advertised locally to myself. I don’t have much driving experience so maybe doing my ADR wouldn’t benefit me as firms would be after driving experience first and foremost
I know you hear about certain driving jobs (such as fuel tanker drivers) earning obscene amounts of money. Is there any truth to this or is this not the norm and may only happen at a select couple of companies? Eg if you managed to get on a fuel tanker at Stobarts would it pay much more than their gen haulage? I’ve seen on their website they may have tanker work in Rugby
