Have you ever wanted to drive one of those heavy tanker trucks you saw as a kid? It’s never too late to start a commercial driving career, and in Massachusetts, the demand for tanker drivers is high. These vehicles are designed to transport up to 9,000 gallons of petroleum products, chemicals, milk, and other bulk liquids.
To drive one of these, you must obtain a Tank Vehicles (N) endorsement on your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Applicants must pass a knowledge test with questions based on the Tanker Vehicles section of the official 2025 CDL manual (Massachusetts CDL Handbook 2025). Additionally, you must also pass a skills test in a vehicle of your desired class of CDL if you haven’t yet done so for your CDL.
The Port of Boston is an important hub for petroleum products, where ships bring massive amounts of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and liquefied natural gas (LNG). These flammable liquids are then loaded into tanker trucks for distribution in Massachusetts or across the United States. Because these materials are extremely dangerous, they must be handled by professionals. To transport fuel, chemicals or toxic liquids, you will also need a HazMat (H) endorsement.
It takes the average student several weeks to learn the theory of driving tank vehicles. After all, the learning phase should not be rushed or skipped, but we can help you shorten it. As an aspiring commercial driver, you must look beyond the CDL manual. Now, you can simulate the official Tank Vehicles knowledge exam by using our Massachusetts CDL Tank Vehicles Endorsement practice tests, which closely resemble its content and format.
Updated for January 2025, these practice tests can also be used as an educational tool. Simply ignore your score and pay attention to the detailed explanation provided for each question. Keep a notebook nearby and write this feedback down. Research shows that recording information can enhance memory retention by up to 50%, and you can also browse through this notebook when you encounter the same questions again. With repetition and consistency, you’ll be ready for the official knowledge exam sooner than you think. However, it is important to remember that your final goal shouldn’t be just to obtain a passing score but rather to master the various aspects of the Tank Vehicles Endorsement.
Perfect for
- First-time MA CDL and CLP applicants
- CDL holders adding endorsements
- MA CDL renewal applicants
