Becoming a tanker driver in New York is not an easy feat, but we know you have what it takes to go through this complicated process. All applicants must hold a valid Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) or a valid Class A or Class B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) before they can obtain the Tank Vehicles (N) endorsement, which allows them to drive vehicles designed to transport liquids or gases in tanks with an individual rated capacity of more than 119 gallons and an aggregate rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more. The DMV is responsible for issuing this endorsement to anyone who meets the minimum requirements, passes the Tank Vehicles knowledge test, provides a valid DOT medical card and pays the necessary fees.
We’ll help you pass the CDL Tank Vehicles knowledge test in New York by offering you an essential resource that can make a huge difference in your commercial driving career. Now you can simulate the official written exam by training with our practice tests. They are designed to closely resemble the Tank Vehicles knowledge exam, allowing you to familiarize yourself with its content and format before you show up at the DMVoffice.
Each New York CDL Tanker Vehicles Endorsement practice test consists of 20 questions based on the official 2025 CDL manual (New York CDL Handbook 2025). To pass, you’ll need to score at least 80%. While other tests may only reveal your results at the end, ours have a progress overview permanently displayed and updated in real time.
New Yorkers are familiar with harsh winters, especially upstate, where roads become difficult to navigate shortly after the first snowfall hits. When you are transporting 8,500 gallons of gasoline on Interstate 87, there’s no room for mistakes. While your immediate priority might be to pass the Tank Vehicles knowledge test and obtain the “N” endorsement, it should not be your only goal. As a commercial driver, you must fully master the controls of your vehicle and navigate these hazardous conditions safely.
