gross combination weight (GCW)
The value specified by the manufacturer as the maximum loaded weight of a
truck/tractor plus the trailer or semitrailer designed for use with the truck
tractor. In the absence of a value specified by the manufacturer, GCW will be
determined by adding the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the power unit and the
total weight of the towed unit and any load thereon. See also
Gross weight.
