On the cargo manifest, the total weight of a box containing cargo is the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) gross weight.
The gross weight on a cargo manifest refers to the total weight of the box or container, including the weight of the cargo itself as well as the weight of the box or container (also known as the tare weight). This is the overall weight that must be accounted for when loading and transporting the cargo.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) Cargo weight only refers to the weight of the actual contents, not the total weight of the container.
B) Tare weight only refers to the weight of the empty box or container, not the total weight.
D) Net weight is the weight of just the cargo contents, without the container weight.
