Virginia is a transit state along the East Coast, particularly on the I-95 corridor. Tanker vehicles move large volumes of gasoline and diesel between terminals and ports. Traffic density is consistently high, which increases the frequency of braking and acceleration. For tanker vehicles, this environment raises the risk of liquid surge. Drivers must rely on anticipation rather than reaction, maintaining longer following distances and braking earlier than other vehicles.

Section 8 (Tank Vehicles) of the official Commercial Driver License Manual (Virginia CDL Handbook 2026) teaches you tanker vehicle safety practices. You should read this section multiple times during your learning phase. It’s what the official tanker vehicles knowledge exam is based on, and you must pass this exam with a minimum score of 80%.

Our Virginia CDL Tanker Vehicles Practice Tests are designed to help you achieve a passing score on your first attempt. The practice test that you’re about to take is the second in this series. It takes only about 6 minutes to answer all questions, so you can run multiple training sessions throughout the day. All you need is a compatible device and a stable internet connection. Please keep in mind that each question has multiple answer choices, but only one is correct. Carefully read each question and think before you select an answer.
