Free New York Tanker (N) Endorsement Practice Test 2025

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

New York tanker drivers are essential to the state’s economy. From fuel distribution along I-87 and I-90 to dairy transport across upstate’s agricultural regions, the Tank Vehicles (N) endorsement opens doors to specialized, well-paying jobs. New York is a top dairy-producing state, and milk tankers operate year-round connecting farms to processing plants.

What the N endorsement allows: You can drive vehicles transporting liquids or gases in tanks with individual capacity over 119 gallons and aggregate capacity of 1,000+ gallons. Without this endorsement, you cannot legally haul liquid cargo—fuel, milk, chemicals, or any other bulk liquids.

New York employers hiring tanker drivers:

  • Fuel distributors: Global Partners, Mirabito Energy
  • Dairy haulers: Upstate Niagara Cooperative, Dairy Farmers of America
  • Chemical transport: numerous carriers serving industrial corridors
  • Food-grade tankers: liquid sweeteners, oils, beverages

What to expect on the official New York Tank Vehicles test:

  • Questions: 20 multiple-choice
  • Passing score: 80%
  • Topics covered: Liquid surge, tank inspection, safe driving techniques, loading/unloading, emergency procedures
  • Prerequisites: Valid CLP or Class A/B CDL, DOT medical card

Consider the X endorsement: If you plan to haul hazardous liquids (fuel, chemicals), you’ll need both the Tank (N) and HazMat (H) endorsements—together called the “X” endorsement. This combination significantly increases your job opportunities and earning potential.

Driving tankers in New York: Harsh upstate winters and heavy traffic downstate demand skill. Liquid surge affects vehicle handling – when transporting 8,500 gallons on I-87, there’s no room for error. Master these skills through study and practice.

Study the official 2025 CDL manual (New York CDL Handbook 2025) for complete requirements.
