I think you should have gotten 1 or 2 of your free re-weighs while you were there. Something wasn't right.
I will guess that you were pulled too far forward and had both truck axles on the "steer" section. This would mean your truck is carrying 10,660 total. I will guess you had the tandem trailer axles sitting right at the joint between the "drive" and "trailer" sections. This would have 3480 on your front trailer axle and 4660 on your rear trailer axle.

Given these ratings I believe this poster may have it figured out if the trailer was loaded.

Give or take here or there.
