From the Driver's Seat: Awatere Valley

RD Petroleum fuel tanker driving through snow in the Awatere Valley, Marlborough

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 Rich, on a snowy run through the Awatere Valley.

Driver: Rich

Route/Location: Awatere Valley

Delivery: Fuel transport

Rich caught this one on a proper winter's day, with snow settled on the road and hills all the way down the valley. Deliveries don't stop for weather, a bit of snow and ice just means an earlier start, extra care on the road, and a slower run than usual to make sure everything gets there safely.

It's a good reminder of the conditions our drivers work through to keep rural properties and businesses supplied, no matter the season.
