Talk:Gross weight

merger
Gross weight has a much broader definition - it's the weight of something combined with something else. Like a cake and its packaging. Or (perhaps) a vehicle and passengers. But what about the fuel? --Dweller 11:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

There SHOULD be a merger here, because net weight and gross weight are the same thing, just used in different contexts. There should be a section under gross weight that talks about net weight, but having two small articles on the subject, one a complete stub, is pointless. I think gross weight is the more general term, and should be used as the title, with net weight being a section in the article Charlesblack 16:40, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Neither term is much more than a dictionary definition. I've merged the information about cars into the GWVR article, and the rest into Weight. There's just not much to say about "gross weight".  Ark yan  &#149; (talk) 18:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
