Despite being the smallest state, Rhode Island has over 400 miles of coastline. This extensive coastline is the primary source of its famous nickname, “The Ocean State,” but we should not forget about its rich maritime history and culture. You might wonder if there are any opportunities for commercial drivers in a state with an area of just 1,214 square miles. With its proximity to the ocean, Rhode Island has a significant seafood processing industry, which involves the transport of food-grade liquids like water, corn syrup, and other ingredients for local manufacturers.
If you want to drive a tanker in Rhode Island, you’re probably aware of the requirements. All drivers must obtain the Tank Vehicles (N) endorsement on their Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), which is granted after passing the Tank Vehicles knowledge test. This test has 20 questions based on the official 2025 CDL manual (Rhode Island CDL Handbook 2025), and it covers important aspects such as liquid surge, loading and unloading procedures, safety measures and unique tanker characteristics.
What if you could simulate this exam from the comfort of your own home? Before you show up at the DMV location to take the official exam, you can practice on our Rhode Island CDL Tank Vehicles endorsement practice tests. Updated for January 2025, this tool has helped many students master the various aspects of the “N” endorsement and become successful tanker drivers in Rhode Island.
There’s no limit to how many times you can train on these practice tests. For your convenience, we have also omitted any timer, giving you more flexibility before selecting an answer. You can even have the CDL manual open in another tab and actively use it during your training sessions. Search for the correct answer and try to understand the concept described. If you have any further questions related to a specific aspect of tanker vehicles, you can ask our helpful AI coach. It is present during every session, and you can request hints, real-life examples, and further help to understand the question at hand.
