The tare weight of a Freightliner FL70 can vary depending on factors such as the specific model, configuration, and any additional equipment or modifications. In general, the tare weight of a Freightliner FL70 typically ranges from 15,000 to 20,000 pounds. It is advisable to consult the manufacturer specifications or the truck's registration documents for the exact tare weight of a specific vehicle.
They wouldn't need to. "Tare weight" is the weight of your empty truck. To get a tare weight, you just weigh the empty truck.
"Tare" weight. means the unloaded weight of whatever it is that you are weighing (e.g.: To weigh a truckload of stone you must first know the unloaded weight (tare weight) of the truck. Then, to find the weight of just the stone, subtract the tare weight of the truck from the total weight of the loaded truck. The difference will show you the weight of the stone).
The weight of the truck/truck trailer when it is unladen (empty) .
That depends on what the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle is, and what the vehicle weighs empty (tare weight).
The tare weight is the weight of the receptacle without the items you're weighing in it. To measure the tare weight, you put the empty truck or beaker on the scale first. Record that weight and after you take the gross weight, subtract the tare weight. What you left is the weight of the goods.
A tare is a weed, especially the type that commonly grown among grain. The tare weight is the weight of the empty container or the truck without its cargo. If you zero your scale with the empty container on it, you are "tare weighing" it.
The only information provided is that it's a 24' straight truck - that really tells us nothing in relation to the question you're asking. The payload it can haul is the tare weight (empty weight of the vehicle) subtracted from the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. So, if it's a non-CDL Class 6 vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. and a tare weight of 15,000 lbs., then it can haul 11,000 lbs. of payload. If it's a Class 7 truck (which does require a CDL) with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 33,000 lbs., and a tare weight of 17,000 lbs., then it can haul 16,000 lbs. of payload. But without having the tare weight and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle you had in mind, it's impossible to tell you what you're looking for. Length doesn't determine how much weight it can haul.
"Tare" is the weight of a container before it is filled. In the case of trucks this allows the weight of the contents on board to be determined by weighing the truck and contents, then subtracting the tare weight. A tare can be provided by the equipment manufactirer or by directly weighing the container before filling.
The tare weight of a Penske 26 foot non-liftgate truck is 15,241 pounds. The tare weight is tough to get from Penske. Not that they're avoiding the topic, but the folks who answer the phones just don't know. After multiple calls and wildly different answers, I got to a Penske service department, where they were able to look up the tare weights. Add 50 gallons of diesel at 7.5 pounds per gallon and a 200 pound driver, and you have an "empty" truck weight of 15, 816 pounds, meaning you can put 10,184 pounds of cargo in the truck without exceeding the 26,000 GVW rating of the truck and the limits of a non-CDL driver. The tare weight of the liftgate 26 foot Penske trucks are 16,108 pounds (International) and 16,242 pounds (Freightliner), so by the same calculations, the max payload is a bit over 9000 pounds for this "10,000 pound" truck. Data is current as of June, 2017.

26000 lbs. is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. That's the max it can legally weigh on the road. Subtract the vehicle's tare (empty) weight from that, and you have your allowable net weight. 4-1/2 to six tons is typical of the allowed net weight for a 26k GVWR truck.
