DC CDL Tanker Vehicles Practice Test 2 2026

6 min

In the District of Columbia, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) oversees the licensing process. All aspiring commercial drivers must take and pass several theory and skills exams to obtain a CDL (Commercial Driver’s License). Additionally, they must complete Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT), pass a vision screening, provide identification documents, and pay the licensing fees. Those who plan to engage in non-excepted commerce must also pass a medical examination.

Tanker driving involves great responsibility. There’s no room for error when you’re behind the wheel of a fully-loaded tanker hauling gasoline or pesticides through the capital of the United States. That’s why the DMV requires aspiring tanker drivers to pass a 20-question knowledge test on the safe operation of tankers. Upon passing this exam, you will receive the Tank Vehicles (N) endorsement. This credential will allow you to drive commercial vehicles designed to transport liquid or gaseous materials in one or more tanks, with each tank having an individual rated capacity of more than 119 gallons and an aggregate rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more. To transport hazardous materials, you must also pass the official HazMat Endorsement Knowledge Exam.
