43 . A tank endorsement is:
Optional when transporting hazardous materials.
With some exceptions, you must have a tank endorsement to transport liquids or gases. This applies to both hazardous and non-hazardous substances.
44 . If a vehicle has air brakes, the air compressor drive belt should be checked before each drive. In what condition should the belt be?
Bumpy
When inspecting a vehicle with air brakes that has a belt-driven air compressor, you should check the condition and tightness of the belt. It should be in good condition.
45 . Why are roads especially slippery right after it begins to rain?
Tires are not usually designed to drive in rain.
In rainy weather, roads are often at their most slippery when the rain first begins to fall. Fresh rainwater mixes with oil and grease on the road to form a slick film. As the rain continues, this mixture will eventually wash away.
46 . To confirm that a trailer has ABS, you can:
Remove a tire and look for the ABS sensor on the axle.
If you are unsure if a trailer is equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), look under the vehicle for the electronic control unit and wheel speed sensor wires coming from the back of the brakes.
47 . If transporting livestock, drivers should be concerned about:
Passing emissions testing.
Because live animals can lean during curves, and otherwise move in transit, the weight distribution of a cargo of livestock is unstable. Driving with livestock requires special care.
48 . A pre-trip vehicle inspection:
Is required by law.
Drivers are required by state and federal law to inspect their vehicles before beginning to drive.
49 . After a trip:
A vehicle's battery should be disconnected.
After a trip, you may be required to perform an inspection and file a report on each vehicle that you've driven.
50 . When starting a trip while transporting a load, the driver should:
Not recheck the cargo if it was secured properly before starting the trip.
The securement of cargo must be checked before beginning a trip, within the first 50 miles of a trip, and then again every three hours or 150 miles thereafter.
