What is the difference between Tanker vs Truck Driver?

AspectTankerTruck Driver
CertificationsCommercial Driver's License (CDL), Tanker endorsementCDL, sometimes with additional endorsements
Work EnvironmentTransporting liquids or gases in tank trailers, often on highwaysTransporting various goods, including dry freight or general cargo
Industry UsageOil & gas, chemicals, food-grade liquidsGeneral freight, retail, manufacturing

While both Tanker and Truck Drivers operate large vehicles on highways, Tanker drivers specifically handle liquid or gas cargo in specialized tank trailers, requiring additional endorsements. Truck Drivers may transport a variety of goods but do not necessarily require tanker-specific certifications. The roles overlap in driving skills but differ in cargo type and safety requirements.

What is a tanker?

Tankers are specialized vehicles or ships designed to transport liquids or gases in bulk, such as oil, chemicals, or fuel. Tanker operators and crew are responsible for safely loading, transporting, and unloading these materials, often over long distances. Their work is crucial in the supply chain, ensuring that essential resources reach refineries, distribution centers, or end users. Safety is a top priority in this job due to the potentially hazardous nature of the cargo. Tankers can work on land (tanker trucks) or at sea (oil or chemical tankers), and the job often involves adherence to strict safety and environmental regulations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a tanker?

To thrive as a Tanker (tanker truck driver), you need a valid commercial driver's license (CDL) with appropriate endorsements, a clean driving record, and knowledge of safe hazardous material transport. Familiarity with electronic logging devices (ELDs), GPS navigation, and compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations is essential. Attention to detail, strong problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are important soft skills for this role. These skills ensure the safe, efficient, and compliant delivery of liquid or hazardous cargo, protecting both the driver and the public.

What are some common safety challenges faced by tanker operators and how are they addressed on the job?

Tanker operators often face safety challenges such as hazardous material spills, fire risks, and managing heavy equipment under strict regulatory standards. To address these, companies provide thorough safety training, enforce the use of protective gear, and implement rigorous inspection routines. Team members are encouraged to communicate proactively and participate in regular safety drills, ensuring everyone is prepared to respond quickly to emergencies. This focus on safety not only protects personnel but also helps operators stay compliant with industry regulations.

  • Keep your equipment clean and road-ready — wash your tractor and trailer at least once a week and maintain a tidy cab
  • Take part in monthly safety meetings to stay current on best practices and company procedures
  • Report any accidents, incidents, or injuries right away (no matter how minor) to your supervisor once it's safe to do so
  • Follow dispatch directions and schedules accurately, maintaining strong communication with the team

What we would like from you

  • Valid Class A CDL with at least 2 years of verifiable tractor / trailer driving experience
  • A High school diploma or equivalent education required
  • Previous experience operating a tanker trailer or bulk tanker is preferred
  • Comfortable working in environments with potential for high noise levels
  • Able to work safely at heights of up to 9 feet
  • Strong sense of direction and ability to follow dispatch instructions accurately
  • Clean driving record that meets BURNCO's minimum qualifications
  • Dependable, detail oriented, and capable of carrying out driving duties efficiently and correctly
  • Focused, confident, and observant while on the job
  • Solid understanding of traffic laws and safe driving practices

Location and other key details:

  • This is a full-time permanent field-based position at our Justin site
  • This is a safety-sensitive position requiring successful completion of PSP, MVR, background check, pre-employment drug test, and DOT physical assessment prior to hire
  • Required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • Able to perform essential physical tasks including climbing (stairs and ladders), balancing, squatting, bending, reaching overhead, and operating mobile equipment and hand / foot controls
  • Comfortable lifting and moving objects of various sizes and weights and using vibration tools when required
  • Capable of working safely in outdoor environments across all weather conditions, at heights up to 9 feet, and in areas with potential for high noise levels

Why BURNCO?

  • Be part of a supportive, high-performing team that values your growth and success
  • Enjoy competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package, paid time off, and more
  • Experience our inclusive, collaborative, and safety-focused culture
  • Take part in team events, professional development activities, and community initiatives

Join us and be part of an organization that values safety above all. BURNCO offers a supportive and dynamic work environment where you can truly make a difference. With competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for professional growth, BURNCO is where you can thrive while contributing to a culture of safety and excellence.
