Transportation Corps Practice Exam

If the gross vehicle weight rating is 12,000 pounds and the curb weight is 8,000 pounds, what is the maximum payload?

4,000 pounds. 2,000 pounds. 12,000 pounds. 8,000 pounds.

Correct Answer:

4,000 pounds.

Explanation:

Payload is the extra weight a vehicle can carry beyond its own weight, up to the GVWR. It’s found by subtracting the curb weight from the gross vehicle weight rating. Here, 12,000 pounds minus 8,000 pounds equals 4,000 pounds, so the maximum payload is 4,000 pounds. This reflects how much cargo, passengers, and optional equipment you can add without exceeding the vehicle’s rated limit.
