Tanker Truck FAQ
What CDL endorsements are required to drive a tanker truck?
Any CMV with a liquid-tight tank of 1,000+ gallons capacity requires a Tanker (N) endorsement on your CDL. Hauling hazardous materials in a tanker requires both the Tanker (N) and Hazmat (H) endorsements, commonly combined as the X endorsement on the CDL.
What is the MC-306 DOT tank specification?
An MC-306 (or DOT-406) is a low-pressure aluminum cargo tank used for gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel at pressures below 3 psi. It is the most common fuel delivery tanker in the US, typically holding 5,500–9,000 gallons in 2–5 compartments. It is not designed for hazardous chemicals or high-pressure gases.
How do I inspect a used tanker truck before buying?
Check the tank shell and welds for cracks, repairs, and corrosion — especially at the bottom and manway openings. Verify the DOT test date and certification (tanks must pass a pressure test every 5 years). Inspect baffles internally if possible. For food-grade tankers, verify USDA certification and interior coating condition.
