Re: Try and answer this Question
You don't understand how an empty truck can weigh less than a full one? Have you ever heard of the concept of gravitational pull as it relates to mass? Also curious... what does the number of wheels on a truck have to do with the GVW? GVWR, yes, but this is a little confusing. Perhaps this was a riddle but typed improperly?
Such as: Your truck is lighter carrying a load than when empty, in which case you'd be full of gaseous helium or hydrogen.

I honestly think it was meant to be a riddle, and she messed up the sentence.
I'm going to assume it was something like:
"How can my truck be lighter when carrying a load, then it is when it's empty?"

Re: Try and answer this Question
It depends really on where you are weighing it, if you weight it on the two front wheels the mass in the back would counter weight it and make it weight less than it actually does weight, with an empy load the center of gravity is near the middle of the car making the car distribute more weight on the front, equalizing the front and the back.
Diagram.
* represents center of gravity
- represents the truck
With an empty load
Front -----*----- Back
with a full load
Front --------*-- Back

Re: Try and answer this Question
Weighing a truck improperly doesn't change its mass. It only borks the truth of it. It's not a question of balance or fulcrum points. In fact, the entire discussion is pretty much moot unless lady Vex actually responds to this post to clear things up a bit.

Your load is of a lighter than air gas. The gas is not in a liquid form and not stored in rupture resistant cylinders. What you are carrying is helium filled balloons.

Re: Try and answer this Question
Since I pointed out that this may have been a riddle before paragon did, I feel a bit slighted, but that's nothing new to me. I also answered it, but apparently my answer was incorrect.
New guess: Your truck is loaded with a luminescent substance, thereby making it "lighter". Or your load caught fire.
