GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) – What Is It?
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is like the total weight of your car, passengers, and cargo combined—it refers to the total weight of a vehicle when fully loaded, including the vehicle itself, any cargo, and passengers.
Think of it as weighing yourself with your backpack on—it’s the total weight that needs to be considered when transporting or operating the vehicle, as it impacts safety and regulations.
Example:
A carrier is transporting a truck with a GVW of 15,000 lbs from Texas to California. They ensure the weight is within the legal limits to avoid any issues with road regulations. 🚛⚖️
