    Does that have to do with the amount of non-metallic content I brought in?
    Gross is the weight of the truck with the metal in it before you unloaded. Tare is the weight of the empty truck after you unloaded. It is how the yard calculates the amount of steel you brought in.
    Nice to see you spending quality time with your boy. Me and my girls go to the yard together. Me and my dad went to the dump together every weekend when I was a kid. It's about the time together, not the activity.
    Keep scrappin'
