The tanker endorsement provides the ability to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that is transporting bulk liquids. The tanker endorsement is required for portable tanks, attached tanks, drivers carrying filled cylinders, or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) filled with liquid even if they are transported in a dry van.

The tanker endorsement exam is comprised of 20 multiple choice questions covering outage, being top heavy, and other special skills needed for hauling liquid freight. You will need to score at least 80% (16 out of 20) to pass the tanker exam.

Possible Answers:

Answer:
There will be less front to back surge than there is in a tanker without baffles
Explanation:
Baffled liquid tanks have bulkheads in them with holes that let the liquid flow through. The baffles help to control the forward and backward liquid surge. Side-to-side surge can still occur. This can cause a roll over.
