DC CDL Tanker Vehicles Endorsement Practice Test 2025

  • Perfect for first-time and renewal CDL/CLP applicants, and those adding endorsements.

From the beginning of your career, you’ll find your District of Columbia Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) gives you an opportunity to transport a variety of cargoes. A CDL tanker endorsement can open the door for you to climb the ladder to success around Capitol Hill by serving the specialized transportation needs of the public and private sectors. Your professional services are in high demand, and employers are willing to pay top dollar. However, before you can begin your pursuit of these opportunities, you will need to acquire an extensive knowledge of the road rules and safety practices required to operate tanker trucks and trailers.

Our District of Columbia DMV CDL tanker endorsement practice test is made up of 20 questions to assess your current proficiency level and identify your misconceptions. Besides passing a medical exam, you must demonstrate your understanding of driving skills by passing an official knowledge test. The practice test uses an interactive instructional method to prepare you for the challenges of the official knowledge test. If you submit an incorrect answer, the practice test will provide a thorough explanation of the correct one. The practice test outperforms study guides or other on-line resources that limit your learning potential to memorizing the answers to the questions. It is based on the most recent District of Columbia DMV CDL Manual (District of Columbia CDL Handbook) and is up to date as of November 2025. Using the practice test, you will optimize your ability to absorb the information and apply it to various driving scenarios.

In addition to the CDL tanker endorsement, a Hazardous Materials (HazMat) endorsement will further expand your driving opportunities to include cargoes requiring additional safety concerns. Such jobs may involve transporting flammable liquids or toxic gases. Both the CDL tanker and HazMat endorsements require you to correctly answer a minimum of 80% of the 20 questions on their respective knowledge tests. The practice test will equip you with the skills and confidence necessary to achieve these results and pass the official knowledge test on your first attempt.
