    I see trucks displaying the MC#, USDOT, KYU, VIN, and GVW
    now how do you find out the GVW?

    I know GVW stands Gross Vehicle Weight but does it include the semi trailer???

    Please Help

    Not necessarily. GVW is the maximum rated weight of just the tractor. If you see one with a letter "C" there anywhere, that includes a trailer.

    Also, 80k is just a legal limit, not a rated capacity.
