empty weight
The gross weight of a vehicle is the laden (loaded) weight. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the maximum gross weight the vehicle is rated for. The opposite of this would be the tare weight, which is the empty weight of the vehicle.
If an empty container weighs two pounds, that is the tare weight of the container when empty. If I then put 6 pounds of sand into the container, the total (gross) weight becomes: 2lb + 6lb = 8lb Gross. Therefore, the gross weight of the container is now 8 pounds.
The gross weight is the total weight of everything, the weight of the container and the weight of the items inside the container. If the items are taken out of the container and weighed separately you get the nett weight. The weight of the empty container is the tare weight. Therefore, the gross weight is the tare weight and the nett weight added together.
It's a trick question. The gross weight would be the loaded weight (combined weight of both the truck itself AND its load). The empty weight would be the net or TARE weight.
