Shell tanker drivers, who recently went on strike over pay, look closer to achieving their target of a £40,000 a year salary. The tanker drivers, who all have an HGV C+E licence, feel that their job should be highly paid.

The HGV driver industry currently offers some of the best wages to work ratio in the UK. Fuel tanker drivers can expect to earn at least £32,000 a year - and all they need is an HGV C+E licence and an ADR (Hazardous Goods) certificate. Both of these qualifications, available from AdvantageHGV, can be obtained in 6-8 weeks - with a well-paid driving job available shortly afterwards.

The Shell dispute only highlights how important HGV drivers are to our economy, and those who carefully and professionally drive 200,000 litres of petrol across Europe, should be rewarded.
