Overview

Without tanker truck drivers, there would be no cars, vans, trucks, or buses on the road. Tanker truck drivers are the men and women who deliver fuel to gas stations and other places where drivers can fill up their vehicles. Driving a truck that carries enough liquid to fill 125 bathtubs is a highly skilled job. And when that liquid could catch fire and explode, there are lots of safety rules that every driver must follow. In this book, young readers will join drivers on the road and at gas stations. Readers will discover that there is a lot more to this job than simply driving a truck, as drivers explain how they use long, heavy hoses to fill up huge, underground tanks with fuel. They will join a tanker as it is escorted through a tunnel by police officers. And they will find out lots of facts about fuel tanker trucks. Filled with photos, this book is a fascinating read for young nonfiction fans and is perfect for supporting the topics of jobs and people in our communities who help us.
