From the Driver's Seat: Fox Glacier

RD Petroleum aviation fuel tankers parked near Fox Glacier with Southern Alps in the background

Every Thursday, we're handing the camera over to the people who know our roads best, our drivers. Each week one of the team sends in their favourite shot from a delivery, and we share it here along with a bit about where it was taken and what they were up to.

This week's shot comes from Sukhvir, on a run through Fox Glacier.

Driver: Sukhvir

Route/Location: Fox Glacier, West Coast

Delivery: Jet A1 aviation fuel

Sukhvir pulled the rig up on the roadside for this one, with the Southern Alps rising up behind the tankers and snow still sitting on the peaks. Deliveries down the West Coast take drivers through some of the most dramatic scenery in the country, this stretch near Fox Glacier being a good example of why the job's never quite routine.

It's a good reminder of how far our reach extends, from the main centres right down to remote alpine communities, keeping aviation and other operations fuelled along the way.
