From the Driver's Seat: Waikaia Forestry

RD Petroleum fuel tanker at a forestry harvesting site near Waikaia, with logging machinery and stacked logs

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 Cole, delivering to a forestry site near Waikaia.

Driver: Cole

Route/Location: Forestry site, Waikaia

Delivery: Fuel transport

Cole pulled in alongside the harvesting crew for this one, tanker parked up next to a fresh stack of logs with a digger and hauler working through the block behind him. Forestry sites like this one depend on machinery running non-stop through the day, which means fuel needs to turn up on time and in the right place, right at the edge of the block, not just the yard.

It's a good example of the industrial side of the job, working alongside heavy machinery in some genuinely remote spots to keep operations moving.
