Which term refers to the total weight of asphalt mix used on a given day?

• A. Records recorded in triplicate
• B. Net Weight of Mix
• C. Rejection Reason
• D. Original Ticket Copy

Answer: (B)

The main idea is identifying the actual amount of material that ends up on the road. Net weight of mix is the weight of the asphalt concrete after removing the vehicle’s own weight (tare). In practice, you subtract the truck’s empty weight from the total weight of the loaded truck to get the net weight, which is the true quantity of asphalt mix used. On a single day, you’d add up all the net weights of each load to determine the total asphalt mix used. This net figure is what’s used for production tracking, QC, and payment. The other options refer to paperwork or reasons for batch rejection, not to the quantity of material actually placed.
