Fuel Tanker Driver

Why This Role Stands Out:
With Vancouver’s busy port and expanding suburbs, fuel transport is a high-demand sector offering premium pay. Drivers service gas stations, airports (YVR), and industrial sites across Burnaby, Richmond, and Surrey.

Key Details:

• Employers: Suncor, Parkland Fuels, or regional distributors like Superior Propane
• Monthly Earnings: 6,800−6,800−8,400
  • Pay Structure: 38−38−46/hour + overnight shift differentials (2am deliveries often pay 15% more)
• Schedule: 4x10hr shifts (typical) with optional overtime
• Must-Have Credentials:
  • Class 1 with Tanker endorsement
  • TDG and WHMIS certifications
  • 2+ years professional driving experience
• Day-to-Day:
  • Loading at Chevron refinery (Burnaby)
  • Following strict hazmat protocols
  • Completing electronic logbooks for Transport Canada compliance
• Perks:
  • Extended health benefits including massage therapy
  • Annual safety bonuses ($1,500+ for incident-free years)

Local Insight: New hires often start with residential propane deliveries before moving to gasoline tankers. The early morning shift (1am-11am) pays best but requires adjusting to overnight work.
