From the Driver's Seat: On the Road Down South

Aviation Truck in the Mackenzie Country

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 down south.

Driver: Sukhvir
Route/Location: On the road down south
Delivery: Jet A1 aviation fuel

Sukhvir pulled over to grab this one on a crisp, bluebird day, with frost still clinging to the tussock and the hills stretching out under a big southern sky. Down at ground level, the shot really shows off one of our aviation tankers, complete with its "Fuelled by RDP. Ready for Takeoff." livery and a few familiar faces peering out of the windows.

Plenty of the fuel that keeps planes moving in the south starts its trip on roads like this one, so it's fitting that this tanker spends its days looking like it's about to take off.
