Practice question

Which term is defined as the weight of mix for the day?

  1. Rejection Reason
  2. Weather and Ambient Temperature Restrictions
  3. Net Weight of Mix
  4. Original Ticket Copy

Answer: C — Net Weight of Mix

Net weight of mix is the actual quantity of asphalt blend produced for the day. This figure reflects the material that goes into the pavement, typically measured on the plant scale and, when needed, by subtracting the truck’s tare to get the net amount delivered. It’s the value operators use to track daily production, verify compliance with the mix design, and support payment and quality-control records. The other terms describe a batch that was rejected, weather-related restrictions, or a copy of the batching ticket, none of which define the daily produced quantity.
