obsa,

I might not be much up the food chain from you...I had to look it up myself a few days ago.

GVW means the total weight of the truck, driver, his dog and cat, and all the stuff in the back that the truck is designed to carry.

Could GVCW be a derivation of GVW?

I am not sure what the designation for the empty truck [tare weight] would be, maybe "curb weight".
