Here is example from trucking. USA Class 8 5 axle vehicle. Max Gross (Overall) 80,000 Pounds Same vehicle Empty might weight 25,000 Pounds (No load... this is the TARE WEIGHT) Subtract the TARE from the GROSS and you now have the amount of the loaded weight. In this case you have a total of 55 Thousand pounds of "Stuff" including fuel, oil, driver his stuff and cargo plus pallets etc etc etc... Dont ask about Axle weights, I literally have forgotten the algebra needed for that solution.
