You figger this out using lever math with the center of the trailer axle group as the fulcrum for cargo behind the trailer axles. The distance from the king pin to the cargo center of gravity is the length of the lever.
Use beam or bridge math for cargo between the king pin and the trailer axles. The cargo weight is distributed to the king pin and axle group center in proportion to its distance from each.
It is possible to calculate weight distribution very accurately this way, even with a pencil and paper.
