Q

Which term defines the total weight of a box containing cargo?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between gross, net, and tare weight in cargo handling • What is included in the weight of the container/box versus just the contents • Common shipping and trucking usage of these four terms

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does the question want the weight of the box alone, the cargo alone, or both together? • Think about which term is used when a scale shows the reading with the box AND cargo on it, before anything is subtracted. • Which term would you need to know first before you can calculate the weight of only the cargo inside?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option means the weight of the empty container/box only. • Identify which option means the weight of the contents only (without packaging). • Identify which option means the combined weight of packaging + cargo as seen on a scale.
