Gross weight

Gross weight means the total heaviness of something, like an item, a car, or a package. It counts the weight of the thing itself and anything extra added to it, like boxes or stuff on top. We measure gross weight in units like pounds, kilograms, or tons. This helps us know how much the thing can carry safely and follow rules for different activities. It’s like checking if your backpack can hold all your books without breaking or if a truck can carry its load without any problems.
