Gross is trailer with everything on it.
Tare is trailer weight
Net it weight of what's on the trailer
Tate + Net = Gross
You got skee-rewed
OK so today I found a used trailer in really good condition and
bought it for what I thought was a good price, from a big trailer
place that does a lot of business with racing teams, seemed legit.
Some guy had just traded this one in on another one, it looked
barely used. 16ft with a 2ft drop end and removable ramps, and elec
brakes, tires almost new, they had serviced it. I told the guy I
wanted a 7000lb he says yep this one has 2 3500lb axles, rated
7000lb. So then I get home and it says "Gross Weight 5000lb"
stamped on the tongue (which the guy looked at and told me, I did
not have my spectacles so couldn't make it out). I call him up, he
says the trailer is 2000lb and it can haul 5000lb, but he was gonna
check and call me back, which he did not do late this afternoon.
Anyway, to me, gross weight is full-up weight of the trailer plus
load, not just the load. Am I wrong?
