The total weight of the load, not counting the weight of the vehicle

Explanation

Answer: C - The Gross Vehicle Weight, also known as GVW, is the total weight of a single vehicle plus the load it is carrying. Drivers of single vehicles must know the GVW of their vehicles in order to avoid being overloaded. This value can change or vary from one vehicle type to another so drivers must ensure that they know the value for the particular vehicle they are driving at any time.
