Scrape,

For us Yanks...what the heck is "tare" weight? Perhaps curb weight or loaded weight?

"Tare" weight is the curb weight, empty.

Gross, tare and net. Usually pick up those terms hauling loads across the scales.

Scrape, do they still use those terms down under or are you as old as the rest of us?

not sure how i should answer that, i'm old enough to remember blokes who ran perth from sydney in semi's, stopping in south australia to buy a wooden crate of the old formula coke and a block of ice for the trip over the nulabour ( roads still unsealed), but not old enough to have actually done it.
i'm old enough to be able to say we went to the drive in every week, and i can remember 20 cents buying enough hot chips to feed a family of six and not be able to finish them( a cup of chip here is $2.50 min now )
i danced to rock and roll, but i was still in the cot
gross, tare and net r still used down here, after many years running interstate, old habbits die hard.
