Sample CDL Tanker Endorsement practice questions
Try a few representative questions below. Each includes the correct answer and a short explanation — the same style you'll see in the full practice test.
- Question 1Weight and Load Calculation
A tanker truck carrying 5,000 gallons of a liquid with a specific gravity of 1.2 is involved in an accident. If the liquid has a density of 8.34 lbs/gallon, what is the approximate weight of the liquid in the tank?
- A.34,750 lbs
- B.50,040 lbs
- C.41,700 lbs
- D.60,048 lbs(Correct)
Explanation
The weight of the liquid is calculated by multiplying the volume by the specific gravity and the density of water. Weight = Volume × Specific Gravity × Density of Water. Weight = 5,000 gallons × 1.2 × 8.34 lbs/gallon = 60,048 lbs.
- Question 2Hazardous Materials Regulations
When driving a vehicle placarded for hazardous materials, what is the primary concern regarding emergency response information?
- A.It should only be accessed by emergency personnel at the scene.
- B.It must be within arm's reach of the driver at all times.
- C.It must be readily accessible and clearly visible to the driver during transit.(Correct)
- D.It must be provided to the driver by the shipper before departure.
Explanation
The driver must have the Emergency Response Information (ERI) readily accessible and clearly visible. This information provides crucial details for safe handling and response in emergencies, and the driver is the first point of contact.
- Question 3Tanker Driving Techniques
A tanker truck is carrying a viscous liquid. What is the most significant risk associated with the surge effect of this type of cargo during braking?
- A.Reduced braking efficiency and potential for jackknifing.(Correct)
- B.Increased tire wear due to uneven pressure distribution.
- C.Damage to the tank's internal baffles from excessive movement.
- D.Overheating of the braking system from constant stress.
Explanation
The surge effect, especially with viscous liquids, can create significant forward momentum when the vehicle decelerates. This momentum can push the liquid forward, overloading the front of the tank and potentially causing the driver to lose control, leading to reduced braking efficiency and an increased risk of jackknifing.
