North Carolina recently ranked first in the nation for highway performance, because of its well-maintained pavement and efficient spending. The western part of the state features scenic drives like the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Tail of the Dragon, which has 318 curves in just 11 miles. Although commercial vehicles are prohibited on these famous routes, there’s a high chance you will eventually drive on other winding roads in your trucking career.

As a professional tanker driver, you won’t have the time to admire the scenery when navigating winding roads. Steep grades and sharp curves present significant challenges for beginners. The most common danger is overheated brakes, which can be countered by using lower gears and engine braking. Tanker vehicle safety practices are thoroughly discussed in the official Commercial Driver License Manual (North Carolina CDL Handbook 2026), specifically Section 8 (Tanker Vehicles).

In the Tar Heel State, 913 practice tests have been completed today by aspiring truck drivers. They improve their knowledge through active learning, which has proven far more effective than traditional study methods. 72 users are currently training with this North Carolina CDL Tanker Vehicles Practice Test. You can use it to prepare for the official Tank Vehicles knowledge test several weeks before exam day. Answer questions that mirror the official test format and wording, all in a safe learning environment where your mistakes become learning opportunities.
