Hi tommyboy1712,
There’s nothing special that you’d need to get on tankers.
A tanker is no different to any other vehicle in that you’d need the appropriate driving licence to drive it eg: B, C1, C or C+E.
If you carry goods that count as ‘dangerous,’ you would then (and only then) need an ADR ‘tanks’ licence for the relevant UN class of dangerous goods that you wish to carry.
So for fuel tankers I just need a adr?

An ADR licence will get you to the interview for a fuel tanker driving job, but then there’s all the other normal stuff like: age, experience, penalty points etc.
Tanker firms generally get to pick from lots of applicants, because lots of people fancy driving tankers.
If you’re young, or newly qualified, it’ll probably be quite difficult for you to get on tankers, but not absolutely unheard of.
30 clean licence clean record but will be new am in the middle of doing licence
