QUESTION NO: 1
In newer vehicles with air brakes, you put on the parking brakes using a __________-shaped,
yellow, push-pull control knob.
A. round
B. diamond
C. octagon
D. oval
Answer: B
Explanation:
In newer vehicles with air brakes, you put on the parking brakes using a diamond-shaped,
yellow, push-pull control knob. You pull the knob out to put the parking brakes (spring brakes)
on, and push it in to release them. On older vehicles, the parking brakes may be controlled by a
lever. Use the parking brakes whenever you park.
QUESTION NO: 2
Wedge brakes __________
A. are self-adjusting.
B. require manual adjustment.
C. do not require adjustment.
D. either A or B
Answer: D
Explanation:
With wedge brakes, the brake chamber push rod pushes a wedge directly between the ends of
two brake shoes. This shoves them apart and against the inside of the brake drum. Wedge brakes
may have a single brake chamber, or two brake chambers, pushing wedges in at both ends of the
brake shoes. Wedge type brakes may be self-adjusting or may require manual adjustment.
Wedge brakes are less common than s-cam brakes.

QUESTION NO: 3
The parking brake system __________
A. uses parts of the service and parking brake systems to stop the vehicle in the event of a brake
system failure.
B. applies and releases the parking brakes when you use the parking brake control.
C. applies and releases the brakes when you use the brake pedal during normal driving.
D. none of the above
Answer: B
Explanation:
Air brakes use compressed air to make the brakes work. Air brakes are a good and safe way of
stopping large and heavy vehicles, but the brakes must be well maintained and used properly. Air
brakes are really three different braking systems: service brake, parking brake, and emergency
brake. The parking brake system applies and releases the parking brakes when you use the
parking brake control.

QUESTION NO: 4
When you are testing the air leakage rate, you should apply __________ psi or more with the
brake pedal after the initial air drop.
A. 80
B. 90
C. 100
Answer: B
Explanation:
If you drive a vehicle with air brakes, you should conduct a final air brake check instead of a
hydraulic brake check during step seven of the Seven-step Inspection Method. Test the air
leakage rate. With a fully-charged air system (typically 125 psi), turn off the engine, release the
parking brake, and time the air pressure drop. The loss rate should be less than two psi in one
minute for single vehicles and less than three psi in one minute for combination vehicles. Then
apply 90 psi or more with the brake pedal. After the initial pressure drop, if the air pressure falls
more than three psi in one minute for single vehicles (more than four psi for combination
vehicles), the air loss rate is too much. Check for air leaks and fix the problem before driving the
vehicle. Otherwise, you could lose your brakes while driving.
QUESTION NO: 5
Which of the following statements is true?
A. When only the tractor has ABS, you should be able to maintain steering control, but there is
greater risk of jackknifing.
B. Having ABS on only the tractor, only the trailer, or even on only one axle, still gives you
more control over the vehicle during braking.
C. When only the trailer has ABS, the trailer is more likely to swing out.
D. all of the above
Answer: B
Explanation:
When you brake hard on slippery surfaces in a vehicle without ABS, your wheels may lock up.
When your steering wheels lock up, you lose steering control. When your other wheels lock up,
you may skid, jackknife, or even spin the vehicle. ABS helps you avoid wheel lock up. The
computer senses impending lockup, reduces the braking pressure to a safe level, and you
maintain control. You may or may not be able to stop faster with ABS, but you should be able to

steer around an obstacle while braking, and avoid skids caused by over braking. Having ABS on
only the tractor, only the trailer, or even on only one axle, still gives you more control over the
vehicle during braking. Brake normally. When only the tractor has ABS, you should be able to
maintain steering control, and there is less chance of jackknifing. But, keep your eye on the
trailer and let up on the brakes (if you can safely do so) if it begins to swing out. When only the
trailer has ABS, the trailer is less likely to swing out, but if you lose steering control or start a
tractor jackknife, let up on the brakes (if you can safely do so) until you gain control. When you
drive a tractor-trailer combination with ABS, you should brake as you always have. In other
words: -Use only the braking force necessary to stop safely and stay in control. -Brake the same
way, regardless of whether you have ABS on the tractor, the trailer, or both. -As you slow down,
monitor your tractor and trailer and back off the brakes (if it is safe to do so) to stay in control.
There is only one exception to this procedure, if you always drive a straight truck or combination
with working ABS on all axles, in an emergency stop, you can fully apply the brakes. Without
ABS, you still have normal brake functions. Drive and brake as you always have. Remember, if
your ABS malfunctions, you still have regular brakes. Drive normally, but get the system
serviced soon.
QUESTION NO: 6
When uncoupling, you should lower the landing gear before you __________
A. disconnect the air lines and electrical cable.

B. chock the trailer wheels.
C. position the rig.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Knowing how to couple and uncouple correctly is basic to safe operation of combination
vehicles. Coupling and uncoupling incorrectly can be very dangerous. General coupling and
uncoupling steps can be helpful, but there are differences between different rigs. Learn the
details of coupling and uncoupling the truck(s) you will operate. To uncouple safely, step one is
to position the rig. Make sure the surface of the parking area can support the weight of the trailer.
Have the tractor lined up with the trailer. (Pulling out at an angle can damage the landing gear.)
Step two is to ease the pressure on the locking jaws. Shut off the trailer air supply to lock the
trailer brakes. Ease pressure on the fifth wheel locking jaws by backing up gently. (This will help
you release the fifth wheel locking lever.) Put the parking brakes on while the tractor is pushing
against the kingpin. (This will hold the rig with the pressure off the locking jaws.)

Step three is to chock the trailer wheels if the trailer doesn't have spring brakes or if you're not
sure. (If the trailer doesn't have spring brakes, the air could leak out of the trailer air tank,
releasing its emergency brakes. Without chocks, the trailer could move.) The fourth step is to
lower the landing gear.
If the trailer is empty, lower the landing gear until it makes firm contact with the ground. If the
trailer is loaded, after the landing gear makes firm contact with the ground, turn the crank in a
low gear a few extra turns. This will lift some weight off the tractor. (Do not lift the trailer off the
fifth wheel.) This will make it easier to unlatch the fifth wheel and it will make it easier to couple
the next time. Step five is to disconnect the air lines and electrical cable.
Disconnect the air lines from the trailer and connect the air glad hands to dummy couplers at the
back of the cab or couple them together. Hang the electrical cable with the plug down to prevent
moisture from entering it. Make sure the lines are supported so they won't be damaged while you
are driving the tractor.
QUESTION NO: 7
If you must back with a trailer on a curved path, back __________
A. toward the driver's side.

B. in a straight line.
C. toward the passenger's side.
D. any of the above
Answer: A
Explanation:
When backing a car, straight truck, or bus, you turn the top of the steering wheel in the direction
you want to go. When backing a trailer, you turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction.
Once the trailer starts to turn, you must turn the wheel the other way to follow the trailer.
Whenever you back up with a trailer, try to position your vehicle so you can back in a straight
line. If you must back on a curved path, back to the driver's side so you can see. Look at your
line of travel before you begin. Get out and walk around the vehicle.
Check your clearance to the sides and overhead, in and near the path your vehicle will take.
Check the outside mirrors on both sides frequently. Get out of the vehicle and re-inspect your
path if you are unsure. Back slowly. This will let you make corrections before you get too far off
course. Correct drift immediately. As soon as you see the trailer getting off the proper path,
correct it by turning the top of the steering wheel in the direction of the drift. When backing a
trailer, make pull-ups to re-position your vehicle as needed

QUESTION NO: 8
To secure the tractor during the uncoupling process, apply the __________ brake and place the
transmission in __________
A. parking, reverse.
B. parking, neutral.
C. service, neutral.
D. service, reverse.
Answer: B
Explanation:
details of coupling and uncoupling the truck(s) you will operate. To uncouple safely, step eight is
to secure the tractor by applying the parking brake and placing the transmission in neutral.
QUESTION NO: 9
In a trailer with no spring brakes, the __________ brakes will take over when the air stored in
the trailer air tank is gone.
A. service
B. parking
C. emergency
Answer: C
Explanation:
Newer trailers have spring brakes just like trucks and truck tractors. However, converter dollies
and trailers built before 1975 are not required to have spring brakes. Those that do not have
spring brakes have emergency brakes which work from the air stored in the trailer air tank. The
emergency brakes come on whenever air pressure in the emergency line is lost.
These trailers have no parking brake. The emergency brakes come on whenever the air supply
knob is pulled out or the trailer is disconnected. But the brakes will hold only as long as there is
air pressure in the trailer air tank. Eventually, the air will leak away and then there will be no
brakes. Therefore, it is very important for safety that you use wheel chocks when you park

trailers without spring brakes. A major leak in the emergency line will cause the tractor
protection valve to close and the trailer emergency brakes to come on.
You may not notice a major leak in the service line until you try to put the brakes on. Then, the
air loss from the leak will lower the air tank pressure quickly. If it goes low enough, the trailer
emergency brakes will come on.
QUESTION NO: 10
Step two of coupling is to __________
A. inspect the fifth wheel.

B. inspect the area and chock the wheels.
C. secure the tractor.
Answer: B
Explanation:
details of coupling and uncoupling the truck(s) you will operate.
Step two is to inspect the area and chock the wheels. Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear. Be sure the trailer wheels are chocked or spring brakes are on. Make sure that any cargo is
secured against movement due to the tractor being coupled to the trailer.
QUESTION NO: 11
To check that air flows to all trailers during the pre-trip inspection, wait for air pressure to reach
normal, then __________
A. push in the tractor protection valve control.

B. pull out the tractor protection valve control.
C. pull out the trailer air supply knob.
D. push in the trailer air supply knob.
Answer: D
Explanation:

Check the brakes on a double or triple trailer as you would any combination vehicle. You must
make additional checks on your double or triple trailers. To check that air flows to all trailers
(double and triple trailers) during your pre-trip inspection, use the tractor parking brake and/or
chock the wheels to hold the vehicle. Wait for the air pressure to reach normal, then push in the
red "trailer air supply" knob. This will supply air to the emergency (supply) lines. Use the trailer
handbrake to provide air to the service line.
Go to the rear of the rig. Open the emergency line shut-off valve at the rear of the last trailer.
You should hear air escaping, showing the entire system is charged. Close the emergency line
valve. Open the service line valve to check that service pressure goes through all the trailers (this
test assumes that the trailer handbrake or the service brake pedal is on), and then close the valve.
If you do NOT hear air escaping from both lines, check that the shut-off valves on the trailer(s)
and dolly(ies) are in the OPEN position. You MUST have air all the way to the back for all the
brakes to work.


QUESTION NO: 12
To couple the tractor and first semitrailer to the second and third trailers on a triple, __________

A. couple the tractor to the first trailer.

B. move the converter dolly into position and couple the first trailer to the second trailer using
the method for coupling doubles.
C. both A and B
D. neither A nor B
Answer: C
Explanation:
To couple the tractor/first semitrailer to the second/third trailers, first couple the tractor to the
first trailer. Use the same method you would use for coupling tractor-semitrailers. Move the
converter dolly into position and couple the first trailer to the second trailer using the method for
coupling doubles. The triples rig is now complete.
QUESTION NO: 13
To test the trailer emergency brakes during the pre-trip inspection, __________
A. charge the trailer air brake system, shut the engine off, and step on and off the brake pedal
several times to reduce the air pressure in the tanks.
B. pull out the trailer air supply control and pull gently on the trailer with the tractor.
C. check for normal air pressure, release the parking brakes, move the vehicle forward slowly,
and use the trolley valve.
Answer: B
Explanation:
During the pre-trip inspection of your combination vehicle, test the trailer emergency brakes.
Charge the trailer air brake system and make sure the trailer rolls freely. Then stop and pull out
the trailer air supply control (also called the tractor protection valve control or the trailer
emergency valve) or place it in the "emergency" position. Pull gently on the trailer with the
tractor to be sure the trailer emergency brakes are on.
QUESTION NO: 14
If the tractor protection valve doesn't work correctly, an air hose or trailer brake leak could drain
all the air from the tractor, causing the __________ brakes to come on.
A. service
B. parking
C. emergency

Answer: C
Explanation:
During your pre-trip inspection on a combination vehicle, test the tractor protection valve.
Charge the trailer air brake system. (that is, build up normal air pressure and push the "air
supply" knob in). Shut the engine off. Step on and off the brake pedal several times to reduce the
air pressure in the tanks. The trailer air supply control (also called the tractor protection valve
control) should pop out (or go from "normal" to "emergency" position) when the air pressure
falls into the pressure range specified by the manufacturer.
(Usually within the range of 20 to 45 psi). If the tractor protection valve doesn't work properly,
an air hose or trailer brake leak could drain all the air from the tractor. This would cause the
emergency brakes to come on, with possible loss of control.
QUESTION NO: 15
To uncouple a converter dolly, release the pintle hook on the first semitrailer, then __________
A. apply the converter gear spring brakes or chock the wheels.

B. slowly pull clear of the dolly.
C. lower the dolly landing gear.
D. disconnect the safety chains.
Answer: B
Explanation:
To uncouple twin trailers, uncouple the converter dolly after uncoupling the rear trailer. Lower
the dolly landing gear. Disconnect the safety chains. Apply the converter gear spring brakes or
chock the wheels. Release the pintle hook on the first semi-trailer. Slowly pull clear of the dolly.
Never unlock the pintle hook with the dolly still under the rear trailer. The dolly tow bar may fly
up, possibly causing injury, and making it very difficult to re-couple.
QUESTION NO: 16
When you check the engine compartment during the pre-trip vehicle inspection, __________
A. make sure that the parking brake is on, and/or the wheels are chocked.
B. look at the gauges.
C. check the steering wheel and clutch for looseness, sticking, damage, or improper setting.
D. all of the above

Answer: A
Explanation:
When you check the engine compartment during step two of the pre-trip vehicle inspection,
make sure that the parking brakes are on and/or the wheels are chocked. Check the engine oil
level, coolant level in radiator and condition of hoses, power steering fluid level and hose
condition (if so equipped), windshield washer fluid level, battery fluid level, connections, and tie
downs (the battery may be located elsewhere), and automatic transmission fluid level (which
may require the engine to be running).
Check the belts for tightness and excessive wear (alternator, water pump, and air compressor).
Learn how much "give" the belts should have when adjusted correctly, and check each one.
Check for leaks in the engine compartment (fuel, coolant, oil, power steering fluid, hydraulic
fluid, and battery fluid) and look for cracked, worn electrical wiring insulation. Lower and secure
hood, cab, or engine compartment door.
QUESTION NO: 17
The combined strength of all cargo tiedowns must be enough to lift __________ times the
weight of the piece of cargo tied down.
A. one and one-half

B. two
C. two and one-half
Answer: A
Explanation:
You must understand basic cargo safety rules to get a CDL. If you load cargo wrong or do not
secure it, it can be a danger to others and yourself. On flatbed trailers or trailers without sides,
cargo must be secured to keep it from shifting or falling off. In closed vans, tiedowns can also be
important to prevent cargo shifting that may affect the handling of the vehicle. Tiedowns must be
of the proper type and proper strength. The combined strength of all cargo tiedowns must be
strong enough to lift one and one-half times the weight of the piece of cargo tied down. Proper
tiedown equipment must be used, including ropes, straps, chains, and tensioning devices
(winches, ratchets, clinching components). Tiedowns must be attached to the vehicle correctly
(hooks, bolts, rails, rings). Cargo should have at least one tiedown for each ten feet of cargo.
Make sure you have enough tiedowns to meet this need. No matter how small the cargo, it
should have at least two tiedowns. There are special requirements for securing various heavy
pieces of metal. Find out what they are if you are to carry such loads.

QUESTION NO: 18
Distracted driving can occur when __________
A. you take your eyes off the road.

B. you take your hands off the wheel.
C. mental activities take your attention away from driving.
D. any of the above
Answer: D
Explanation:
Whenever you are driving a vehicle and your attention is not on the road, you're putting yourself,
your passengers, other vehicles, and pedestrians in danger. Distracted driving can result when
you perform any activity that may shift your full attention from the driving task. Taking your
eyes off the road or hands off the steering wheel presents obvious driving risks. Mental activities
that take your mind away from driving are just as dangerous. Your eyes can gaze at objects in the
driving scene but fail to see them because your attention is distracted elsewhere.
QUESTION NO: 19
Driving too fast reduces the time you have to react to an emergency and increases your
__________
A. impact force.
B. braking distance.
C. both A and B
Answer: C
Explanation:
Whenever you double your speed, it takes about four times as much distance to stop and your
vehicle will have four times the destructive power if it crashes. High speeds increase stopping
distances greatly. By slowing down a little, you can gain a lot in reduced braking distance.
QUESTION NO: 20
In the winter, pay extra attention to these items when conducting a pre-trip inspection:
__________

A. tires, engine oil, engine belts, and hoses.

B. tires, coolant level and antifreeze amount, tire chains, and lights and reflectors.
C. tires, engine oil, windows and mirrors, and engine belts.
D. engine oil, engine coolant, engine belts, and hoses.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Make sure your vehicle is ready before driving in winter weather. Be sure you have enough tread
on your tires. The drive tires must provide traction to push the rig over wet pavement and
through snow. The steering tires must have traction to steer the vehicle. Enough tread is
especially important in winter conditions. You must have at least 4/32 inch tread depth in every
major groove on front tires and at least 2/32 inch on other tires. More would be better, Use a
gauge to determine if you have enough tread for safe driving. Make sure the cooling system is
full and that there is enough anti-freeze in the system to protect against freezing. This can be
checked with a special coolant tester.
You may find yourself in conditions where you can't drive without chains, even to get to a place
of safety. Carry the right number of chains and extra cross links. Make sure they will fit your
drive tires. Check the chains for broken hooks, worn or broken cross links, and bent or broken
side chains. Learn how to put the hooks on before you need to do it in snow and ice. Make sure
the lights and reflectors are clean. Lights and reflectors are especially important during bad
weather. Check from time to time during bad weather to make sure that they are clean and
working properly.

description. The packaging type and the unit of measurement may be abbreviated. For example:
10 ctns. Paint, 3, UN1263, PG II, 500 lbs.
The shipper of hazardous wastes must put the word WASTE before the proper shipping name of
the material on the shipping paper (hazardous waste manifest). For example: Waste Acetone, 3,
UN1090, PG II. A non-hazardous material may not be described by using a hazard class or an
identification number.
QUESTION NO: 23

QUESTION NO: 25
You must report spills of any quantity of hazardous materials, no matter how small, to the
__________
A. DOT.
B. EPA.
C. both A and B
D. neither A nor B

Answer: D
Explanation:
The DOT and the EPA want to know about spills of hazardous substances. They are named in
the List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities (Appendix A to 49 CFR 172.101).
Column 3 of the list shows each product's reportable quantity (RQ). When these materials are
being transported in a reportable quantity or greater in one package, the shipper displays the
letters RQ on the shipping paper and package. The letters RQ may appear before or after the
basic description. You or your employer must report any spill of these materials which occurs in
a reportable quantity.

QUESTION NO: 30
You do not have to worry about watching other traffic __________

A. at intersections.
B. if a signal or a stop sign controls other traffic.
C. if you are not sure of how much clearance your bus needs.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Bus crashes often happen at intersections. Use caution, even if a signal or stop sign controls other
traffic. School and mass transit buses sometimes scrape off mirrors or hit passing vehicles when
pulling out from a bus stop. Remember the clearance your bus needs, and watch for poles and
tree limbs at stops. Know the size of the gap your bus needs to accelerate and merge with traffic.
Wait for the gap to open before leaving the stop. Never assume other drivers will brake to give
you room when you signal or start to pull out.
QUESTION NO: 31
Passive crossings have yellow __________ advance warning signs, pavement markings and
crossbucks to assist you in recognizing a crossing.
A. diamond
B. triangular
C. square
D. circular
Answer: D
Explanation:
Passive crossings do not have any type of traffic control device. You must stop at these crossings
and follow proper procedures. However, the decision to proceed rests entirely in your hands.
Passive crossings require you to recognize the crossing, search for any train using the tracks and
decide if there is sufficient clear space to cross safely.
Passive crossings have yellow circular advance warning signs, pavement markings and
crossbucks to assist you in recognizing a crossing. Active crossings have a traffic control device
installed at the crossing to regulate traffic. These active devices can include flashing red lights,
flashing red lights with bells and flashing red lights with bells and gates.


QUESTION NO: 32
Which of the following statements is false?
A. Assign one student assistant to lead students to a "safe place" after evacuation.
B. Teach at least a half dozen responsible, older students how to assist the other students off the
bus during an evacuation.
C. Evacuating the bus means that you must be prepared and plan ahead.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Evacuating the bus means that you must be prepared and plan ahead. When possible, assign two
responsible, older student assistants to each emergency exit. Teach them how to assist the other
students off the bus. Assign another student assistant to lead the students to a "safe place" after
evacuation. However, you must recognize that there may not be older, responsible students on

the bus at the time of the emergency. Therefore, emergency evacuation procedures must be
explained to all students.
This includes ensuring that they know the location of and operation of the various emergency
exits and the importance of listening to and following all instructions given by you.
Some tips to determine a safe place: -A safe place will be at least 100 feet off the road in the
direction of oncoming traffic. This will keep the students from being hit by debris if another
vehicle collides with the bus. -Lead students upwind of the bus if fire is present.
-Lead students as far away from railroad tracks as possible and in the direction of any oncoming
train. -Lead students upwind of the bus at least 300 feet if there is a risk from spilled hazardous
materials. -If the bus is in the direct path of a sighted tornado and evacuation is ordered, escort
students to a nearby ditch or culvert if shelter in a building is not readily available, and direct
them to lie face down, hands covering their head. They should be far enough away so the bus
cannot topple on them. Avoid areas that are subject to flash floods.
QUESTION NO: 33
If you have no choice and you must back your bus, __________
A. back quickly and smoothly - the less time you spend backing, the better.
B. and you must back-up at a student drop-off point, be sure to unload students before backing.
C. and you must back-up at a student pick-up point, be sure to pick up students before backing.
D. all of the above
Answer: C
Explanation:
Backing a school bus is strongly discouraged. You should back your bus only when you have no
other safe way to move the vehicle. You should never back a school bus when students are
outside of the bus. Backing is dangerous and increases your risk of a collision.
If you have no choice and you must back your bus, follow these procedures:
-Post a lookout, preferably inside the school bus looking out the rear window. The purpose of the
lookout is to warn you about obstacles, approaching persons, and other vehicles. The lookout
should not give directions on how to back the bus. -Signal for quiet on the bus. -Constantly
check all mirrors and rear windows.
-Back slowly and smoothly. -If no lookout is available: --Set the parking brake. --Turn off the
motor and take the keys with you. --Walk to the rear of the bus to determine whether the way is
clear. -If you must back-up at a student pick-up point, be sure to pick up students before backing

and watch for late comers at all times. -Be sure that all students are in the bus before backing. -If
you must back-up at a student drop-off point, be sure to unload students after backing.
QUESTION NO: 34
Which of the following statements concerning student management is true?
A. If you feel that the offense is serious enough that you cannot safely drive the bus, drop the
student off at the next bus stop.
B. If a change of seating is needed, request that the student move to a seat near the rear of the
bus.
C. Take the ignition key with you if you leave your seat.
D. all of the above
Answer: C
Explanation:
Here are some tips on handling serious student management problems:
-Follow your school's procedures for discipline or refusal of rights to ride the bus.
-Stop the bus. Park in a safe location off the road, perhaps a parking lot or a driveway.
-Secure the bus. Take the ignition key with you if you leave your seat.
-Stand up and speak respectfully to the offender or offenders. Speak in a courteous manner with
a firm voice. Remind the offender of the expected behavior. Do not show anger, but do show that
you mean business.
-If a change of seating is needed, request that the student move to a seat near you.
-Never put a student off the bus except at school or at his or her designated school bus stop. If
you feel that the offense is serious enough that you cannot safely drive the bus, calling for a
school administrator or the police to come and remove the student may be appropriate. Always
follow your state or local procedures for requesting assistance.
QUESTION NO: 35
Which of the following statements is true regarding the yellow ABS malfunction lamp on the
bus's instrument panel?
A. If the lamp goes on once you are under way, you may have lost ABS control at one or more
wheels.
B. As a system check on newer vehicles, the malfunction lamp comes on at start-up for a bulb
check and then goes out quickly.
C. As a system check on older vehicles, the yellow ABS malfunction lamp on the bus's
instrument panel could come on at start-up for a bulb check and stay on until you are driving

over five mph.

D. all of the above
Answer: D
Explanation:
Without ABS, you still have normal brake functions. Drive and brake as you always have.
Vehicles with ABS have yellow malfunction lamps to tell you if something is not working. The
yellow ABS malfunction lamp is on the bus's instrument panel. As a system check on newer
vehicles, the malfunction lamp comes on at start-up for a bulb check and then goes out quickly.
On older systems, the lamp could stay on until you are driving over five mph. If the lamp stays
on after the bulb check, or goes on once you are under way, you may have lost ABS control at
one or more wheels. Remember, if your ABS malfunctions, you still have regular brakes. Drive
normally, but get the system serviced soon.
QUESTION NO: 36
Movement of liquid in partially filled tanks is known as __________
A. outage.
B. surge.
C. density.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Liquid surge results from movement of the liquid in partially filled tanks. This movement can
have bad effects on handling. For example, when coming to a stop, the liquid will surge back and
forth. When the wave hits the end of the tank, it tends to push the truck in the direction the wave
is moving. If the truck is on a slippery surface such as ice, the wave can shove a stopped truck
out into an intersection. The driver of a liquid tanker must be very familiar with the handling of
the vehicle.
QUESTION NO: 37
Drivers of tankers must pay special attention to weight distribution if the vehicle has
__________

A. un-baffled tanks.
B. smooth bore tanks.
C. bulkheads.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Some liquid tanks are divided into several smaller tanks by bulkheads. When loading and
loading the smaller tanks, the driver must pay attention to weight distribution. Don't put too
much weight on the front or rear of the vehicle.
QUESTION NO: 38

or more.
A. 119
B. 1000
C. 1119
D. 2000
Answer: B
Explanation:
A tank endorsement is required for certain vehicles that transport liquids or gases. The liquid or
gas does not have to be a hazardous material. A tank endorsement is only required if your vehicle
needs a Class A or B CDL and you want to haul a liquid or liquid gas in a permanently mounted
cargo tank rated at 119 gallons or more or a portable tank rated at 1,000 gallons or more. Before
loading, unloading, or driving a tanker, inspect the vehicle. This makes sure that the vehicle is
safe to carry the liquid or gas and is safe to drive.
QUESTION NO: 39

Answer: C
Explanation:
A tank endorsement is required for certain vehicles that transport liquids or gases. The liquid or
gas does not have to be a hazardous material. A tank endorsement is only required if your vehicle
needs a Class A or B CDL and you want to haul a liquid or liquid gas in a permanently mounted
cargo tank rated at 119 gallons or more or a portable tank rated at 1,000 gallons or more. Before
loading, unloading, or driving a tanker, inspect the vehicle. This makes sure that the vehicle is
safe to carry the liquid or gas and is safe to drive.
QUESTION NO: 40
A. Liquid tankers are especially easy to roll over because they are bottom-heavy.
B. Hauling liquids in tanks requires special skills because of the low center of gravity and liquid
movement.
C. Tests have shown that tankers will roll over at the speed limits posted for curves.
D. Having a high center of gravity means that much of the load's weight is carried low, close to
the road.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Hauling liquids in tanks requires special skills because of the high center of gravity and liquid
movement. Having a high center of gravity means that much of the load's weight is carried high
up off the road. This makes the vehicle top-heavy and easy to roll over. Liquid tankers are
especially easy to roll over. Tests have shown that tankers can turn over at the speed limits
posted for curves. Take highway curves and on ramp/off ramp curves well below the posted
speeds.



The purpose of this inspection is to make sure the vehicle is safe to operate,
and to see if you have the knowledge and skills to inspect your vehicle.
You may have to walk around the vehicle and point to or touch each item and
explain to the examiner what you are checking and why. You will not have to
crawl under the hood or under the vehicle.
