Tanker Trailer FAQ
What CDL endorsements are required for a tanker trailer?
Any CMV with a liquid-tight tank of 1,000+ gallons requires a Tanker (N) endorsement. Hauling hazardous materials in a tanker requires both Tanker (N) and Hazmat (H) endorsements — combined as the X endorsement on the CDL.
How do I inspect a used tanker trailer before buying?
Check the tank shell and welds for cracks and corrosion — especially at the bottom and manway openings. Verify the DOT pressure test date (tanks must pass every 5 years). Inspect baffles internally if possible. For food-grade tankers, verify USDA certification and interior coating condition. Check the pump, meter, and vapor recovery system operation.
